The question you are probably asking is “why are you making another remote thermostat?” The answer to that question is, I had to, and the market smart thermostats are too expensive. Fair warning, this is “proof-of-concept” build that would require a few extra outputs to actually control your thermostat, but the core is in place and can […]

[Attoparsec] has been building intriguing musical projects on his YouTube channel for a while and his latest is no exception. Dubbed simply as “Node Module”, it is a rack-mounted hardware-based Markov chain beat sequencer. Traditionally Markov chains are software state machines that transition between states with given probabilities, often learned from a training corpus. That same principle has […]

When synthesizers first hit the scene back in the mid-20th century, many were monophonic instruments, capable of producing just one pitch at a time. This was a major limitation, and over time polyphonic synthesizers began to flood into the scene, greatly expanding performance possibilities. [Kevin] decided to build his own polyphonic synthesizer, but far from taking […]

I was attending the graduation of my friend last May and my friend leaned over to me and said “Hey Rachel, you should do an Arduino project so that you’re really easy to spot when you graduate.” So I did just that. The cap has an 8 by 32 grid of LED’s that scrolls the […]

For a course we followed at KTH in Sweden, we were assigned to create an artefact which could change shape. We made a fox shape artefact, supposed to remind you to take a break from work or studying. The general concept it that the fox will display breathing like motions. When you are starting to […]

These days, there’s a huge variety of screens on the market for use with microcontrollers. OLEDs and graphic LCDs abound, while e-ink devices tempt the user with their clean look and low energy consumption. However, for many purposes, the humble HD44780 character LCD does the job just fine. If you’re using such a device, you […]

Morse code unit for kids. Variable speed and different levels. My son goes to CUBS and has a special event coming up. This event is all about communicating with other Scouts/Cubs from around the world? Via radio, also over the weekend there will be other activities including Morse code. So this little project is just […]

If you’re a maker that publishes projects online, you’ll be well across the production values arms race that’s been raging over the past decade. For those in the 3D printing space, this means that you’ll need to be producing slick timelapse videos of your prints. [BuildComics] is now doing just that, with a custom camera arm […]

Making model train layouts is a great hobby, automating it will make it a lot better! Let us take a look at some of the advantages of its automation: Low-cost operation: The whole layout is controlled by an Arduino microcontroller, using an L298N motor driver, their cost is almost nothing as compared to traditional train control […]

Dear friends welcome to another Instructable! Today we are going to learn how to get the data that this Xiaomi Temperature and Humidity monitor transmits using the Bluetooth functionality of the ESP32 board. As you can see, I am using an ESP32 board and a 2.8” color TFT display. On the display, we display the temperature and […]
