This Arduino project uses an Optical Flow Sensor (ADNS3080) to capture movement. Then translate the data to move servo’s making it look as eyes are following moving object. This is not an easy build. It requires 3d printing, soldering, some general technical understanding and problem solving as this guide cannot be 100% perfect. I will […]

That whole project started a while back with an hackaday article from 2014 in which [Johngineer] build the ‘ChronodeVFD’, a wristwatch made from an old soviet vacuum fluorescent display. It kind of triggered the ‘shut up and take my money’ reflex in me, but as it wasn’t for sale and didn’t have any design details available I […]

This project is an update of one of the previous model railroad automation projects, The Model Railway Layout with Automated Siding. This version adds the feature of coupling and decoupling of the locomotive with the rolling stock. The operation of the railway layout is as follows: The locomotive will start from the mainline and proceed into […]

Along with all the colorful, geometric influence of Memphis design everywhere, giant wristwatch clocks were one of our favorite things about the 80s. We always wanted one, and frankly, we still do. Evidently, so did [Kothe]. But instead of some splashy Swatch-esque style, [Kothe] went the nerdy route by building a giant Casio F-91W to hang […]

For many of our readers, the classic 555 timer holds a special place in their heart, and cursed be the fool who dares to use an Arduino in its place. For the seriously devoted ones, or those who simply like a novelty decorative item, [acerlaguinto7] built just the right thing: a giant, actually functional, cardboard 555 […]

This instructable describes how to turn a Commodore 64 computer into a bluetooth keyboard. It involves programming a micro controller with the Arduino IDE and constructing a circuit board. Supplies you’ll need (some are optional): Commodore 64 with keyboard (remove mother board, it is not used) (2) 74HC595 shift registers (8) 1N4148 diodes (3) 220 […]

Ordinary digital cameras work by using a large array of light sensors to capture light as it is reflected from an object. In this experiment, I wanted to see whether I could build a backwards camera: instead of having an array of light sensors, I have just a single sensor; but I control each of […]

This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com). What is an DIY project? DIY also known as Do It Yourself, is often denoted as projects that can be completed by oneself rather than employing a professional. That is what most engineers in their […]

This project is my implementation of an alien themed slot machine using two ATmega328P-PU micro-controllers. The slot machine is for entertainment and educational purposes only. I tried my best to make the game simulate a real slot machine as closely as possible. The project is completely built. An enclosure was added after the parts arrived […]

This instructables show how to combine Arduino Esplora and M5Stack to make a NES game console. Step 1: What Is Arduino Esplora? Arduino Esplora is an Atmega32U4 AVR microcontroller board. It is unique Arduino boards, because it built-in various input sensors out-of-the-box, including a joystick, 4 push buttons, a slider, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, […]
