Tested ExtraCore boards and kits are now available for sale from Rugged Circuits. What is it? This Instructable will give you all the files and information you need to make your own Arduino Compatible in small surface mount package. It requires a board manufactured to about 9mil precision. I recommend having the board manufactured at […]
If you have noticed in an office before, you would be probably aware of those RFID cards or Tags that would unlock specific doors depending on your access.Well let’s make a simple NodeMCU RFID reader using the MFRC522 module, and program the NodeMCU to provide access when the right card is detected. This simple example […]
Description This little project makes a great ornament to hang in your window at Christmas time. It is a 20″ wide star with 50 “neopixel” leds around the perimeter. Each led is individually addressable and it is controlled by an arduino device which can be programmed to sequence the leds in various patterns. Depending on […]
A couple of years I embarked on my own home automation project. It started off by building a server controlled 433 MHz transmitter build with an Arduino to switch lots of cheap PT2262 based remote switches. Later I added an Arduino based receiver for my weather station, hooked up the control contact of my EV […]
Using the Mouse library, you can controls a computer’s onscreen cursor with an Arduino Leonardo, Micro, or Due. This particular example uses a pushbutton to turn on and off mouse control with a joystick. Cursor movement from the Arduino is always relative. So every time the analog input is read, the cursor’s position is updated […]
Some time ago, I tried to make an “Instructables Hit Counter” using the Instructables API, and an Arduino Uno with a wired network shield. However, with the limited RAM of the Arduino Uno, I was unable to get the system to work. A while ago, I noticed a similar project done by diytronics using a NodeMCU. This was just […]
So, looking at these Kaoss pads and alike hardware, I found that there is hardly any point in this device being so expensive, when you just want to use it as MIDI controller. Going through my parts bin, I found a Synaptics touchpad from an old laptop and figured this should just work as a replacement. […]
Quick and simple start guide for using and exploring the Flame Sensor module with an Arduino. The model in the example I am using is from Deal Extreme [DX] and can be found HERE. (The instructable for the Rain Sensor is now available!) Materials needed: Flame Sensor (model with an analog out) Male to Female […]
Lets begin with another cool instructable. In this Instructable we will learn how to control the position of Servo Motor using Accelerometer with NodeMCU. Step 1: Things to Be Collected To begin with this instructable all you need is : Hardware Requirement ADXL335 : Accelerometer Sensor NodeMCU Servo Motor Connecting Wires ( Optional ) Bread […]
Particle Photon is a tiny micro controller, just about the size of an arduino nano. But the photon is designed for easy IoT prototyping, it supports OTA updates to its firmware. So all we have to do is get it connected to the internet and we could do all the programming wireless, the photon uses a […]
