Build a robot that responds to electrical activity in your brain—it’s easy and fun. If you’re familiar with Arduino and have basic mechanical building skills, this book will show you how to construct a robot that plays sounds, blinks lights, and reacts to signals from an affordable electroencephalography (EEG) headband. Concentrate and the robot will […]

This is just a brief run down on how easy it has become to make your own circuits complete with your own PCB’s.  Have you ever wanted to make something custom that suits your needs? Of course you have!! For me it really started when I built my first day/night light. I used a light […]

RepRap Update I have finally printed all the plastic parts for the Griffin Open Source 3D printer I’m building, and they look fantastic! The remaining components should arrive soon, and then I can start construction. In the meantime, I’ve been configuring the printer control board, an Arduino Mega 2560 with the RAMPS 1.4 extension. RAMPS […]

Introduction For many electronics projects, AVR microcontrollers are commonly used. However, as a beginner, uploading or flashing code to an AVR can be challenging to understand. When other programming hardware is unavailable, an Arduino board can help burn bootloaders onto AVRs. It also enables creating and testing AVR programs. Therefore, this article will demonstrate using […]

This project is a part of experiments done while doing an artist in residence at Instructables. You can see the other projects here. Creating emergent patterns that can be converted into sounds fascinates me. So this is my first experiment in building an arduino platform for creating such patterns. This version uses a Gameduino as its […]

Arduino Based Real-Time Oscilloscope The Oscilloscope is an essential instrument for the workbench of every electronics engineer or maker. It is primarily used for monitoring waveforms and analyzing voltage levels, frequency, noise, and other signal characteristics that can change over time at its input. Embedded software developers utilize it for code debugging while technicians depend […]

This is a tutorial on how to use 123D Catch to get a 3D scan of your whole body. Once you have the scan or “catch” the tutorial will take you through a technique to clean it up and manipulate it ready for 123D Make. The tutorial will go through how to slice the model […]

There is always a need for automating a process,be it a simple/monstrous one.I got the idea to do this project from a simple challenge that i faced while finding methods to water/irrigate our small piece of land.The problem of no current supply lines and costly generators (to operate our pump) added to the difficulty. So […]

We all know about Arduino. It is one of the most popular open source micro controller board which is highly useful for doing DIY projects. This Arduino based 3-Way Traffic Light Controller is a simple Arduino DIY project which is useful to understand the working of traffic lights which we see around us. We have covered […]

INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: I am a basic system that utilizes Arduino for automating the watering of small potted plants or crops. This system monitors soil moisture levels by using LEDs for indications and emitting an alarm beep if the soil is dry. If the soil is dry, the irrigation system will be triggered to pump […]
