In this instructable, I am going to show you what a servo motor is, how to use it, and ideas for starting projects using it. I used arduino to control my servo, I added how to use a 555 in some of the later steps. Step 1: What is a Servo motor If you are […]
I am Crius and I LOVE MIDI Controllers! The last couple of years I started learning about electronics from nothing to be able to build my own MIDI controllers that would serve my needs , taste and be cheaper overall in comparison with the branded products. Crius “OctaPot” MIDI Mixer consists of 8 potentiometers with which we can […]
This page and linked pages detailed below document how to build whole house energy monitor that has a display for easy, quick access to current energy use information, usb datalogging for detailed long term data storage and Internet connectivity for online graphing. First a quick look at the installed setup: The Display The display unit […]
We created a LED matrix that shows a Pacman and a Ghost. The figure changes by pressing a button. Also, the ghost takes the color according to the external temperature. It means, if it is cold, the figure turn blue, but if it is warm outside it will change to red. Supplies 71 leds (led […]
The Internet Controlled RC Car allows you to remotely drive around a small rc car from wherever you may be and see where it is going. This is fun because you can remote explore whatever space you leave it in, or hand over the keys – so to speak – and allow someone to drive […]
A disclaimer right up front, I didn’t shrink the remotes and that’s not a photo of my remotes through a microscope. But what I did do was shrink them down to the buttons I use the most. Not even sure what most of the others do! However, most of you will know what this image […]
So you just bought this Arduino kit or Arduino-clone kit. You spent hours inserting parts and soldering components. You connect everything up and turn it on and stare at the little LED. You wait a second and nothing happens. You wait a minute and still nothing happens. So what do you do? Well, I have […]
Have you ever wanted to impress your friends by saying something crazy like, “I think there’s going to be an earthquake soon” moments before an earthquake hits? Or do you just want some warning, a few seconds that could save your life. This project will allow you to hook up a seismic sensor to a […]
There are some great hackable devices in the SONOFF range such as the original SONOFF switches, the Slampher and the SONOFF Luxury wall plate which is the subject of this instructable. These devices are based around the ESP8266 or ESP8285 WifFi modules and are easily hackable. I’ll only cover here how to convert a wall […]
Please vote for me in the contests i have entered. Hope you enjoy the instructable, and happy making. I was, some time ago, quite interested in IoT projects and so I thought it would be fun to make something associated with the Internet. I recently purchased the micro-controller called the nodeMCU and it’s superb. After having decided […]
