To the ire of many, manufacturing in small quantities have often led to sky high prices, hindering many makers from translating their ideas to reality. Now, to eliminate cost barriers and enable even more makers to experience the flexibility and convenience of turnkey PCB fabrication and assembly, Seeed Fusion is waiving off the assembly costs […]

Position control using wifi from a smartphone sounds too good to be true? Do it with MKR1000. Things used in this project Hardware components Arduino MKR1000 × 1 Hand tools and fabrication machines 3D Printer (generic) Story Many position control use steppers because they are easy to deal with and are cheap. RC servos are […]

Close Encounters of the Curiously Minty Kind. This Instructable will show you how to build an Altoids version of the ‘Close Encounters’ mothership, and how to interact with it. This may be vital training for that day when the Bright White Beam comes to suck you up into the unknown. It will also introduce you […]

After over spending nearly 20 hours extra on fixing peggy2 board I mentioned in the previous post, there is only a few hours left for me to work on CMUcam3-Arduino system and its facial-recognition driven motor system. The basic programming architecture is shown below. When in “interaction mode”, CMUcam3 camera dictates the only input information of […]

GSM is quite a common Device which is used in major Projects and Real Time Operations. There are many applications which are using features of GSM Module like the feature sending Messages, making a Voice Call, Reading Messages, attempting Call etc. Many at times you may have sent Messages using your Cell Phone and also […]

Simple Remote Data Plotting using Android / Arduino / pfodApp This Instructable shows you how to plot Arduino sensor data on your Android mobile and capture it for later downloading to your computer.  These instructions are also avaliable at www.pfod.com.au No Android programming is required and very little the Arduino programming is needed. It is […]

Overview This project builds a Christmas lights controller for the GE Color Effects lights allowing programmed control of up to 8 sets of Christmas lights. Furthermore, it provides a function specific language for programming patterns for these lights and an emulation environment for testing the programs requiring the lights to be built or hung. Pre-reading […]

In this project we will use an existing FM radio which went repair a long time ago, to convert it into a Smart Wireless FM Radio controlled using Phone, with the help of Arduino and Processing. We can convert any manually operated electronic device into a Smart Device using the same procedure.  Every electronic device […]

The Bosch BNO055 combines tri-axis accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to provide orientation to users. About the Sensor The BNO055 uses three triple-axis sensors to simultaneously measure tangential acceleration (via an accelerometer), rotational acceleration (via a gyroscope), and the strength of the local magnetic field (via a magnetometer). Data can then be either sent to an external […]

I had one remote controlled project that needed an Arduino running 24/7 but I didn’t want to leave my $32 Arduino UNO, so I decided to buy some pieces and created my own Arduino. The most important part was buying the microcontroller. These were my options: ATMega328P-PU with Optiboot ~ $5.50 (Sparkfun) / $5.19 (Digikey) […]
