In this project, we will go over how to build a heat detector circuit using an Arduino. A heat detector circuit is a circuit, of course, which can detect the presence or absence of heat. This could be useful for a wide range of circuits including any device that needs monitoring and protection from excess […]

In this project, we are going to build a color sensor circuit with an Arduino microcontroller. A color sensor is a device that can detect and differentiate between certain primary colors. This sensor can detect and differentiate between the colors white, blue, green, and red. <p “>A color sensor is actually a very useful device. […]

Build a strobe tuner with an integrated tone generator to teach tuning by ear. -=Background=- I have always dabbled in instruments. Over the course of my life, I’ve attempted (with varying success) Piano, Guitar, Banjo, Penny Whistle, Ocarina, Panpipes, Great Highland Bagpipes, Smallpipes, and Didgeridoo (don’t ask, It was late, and I was a bit […]

In this project, we will go over how to build a light detector circuit using an arduino. A light detector circuit is a circuit which can detect the presence or absence of light, depending on how we write our code to respond to the varying light levels. For example, if there is a great deal […]

In this project, we will build an infrared proximity switch circuit using an arduino. This is a circuit in which a switch activates when the infrared sensor detects an object in its proximity. The infrared proximity switch sensor is a reflection-type photoelectric snesor which sends and receives infrared beams. Infrared proximity switches work by sending […]

Wish you were bat? Want to Experience Echolocation? Want to try to “see” with your ears? For my first Instructable, I will show you how to build your own ultrasonic Batgoggles using an Arduino microcontroller clone, Devantech ultrasonic sensor and welding goggles for around $60 or less if you already have standard electronics components. You […]

The Arduino is an open source hardware input and output circuit and the Lithium Backpack is a Ardino accessory that will power the Arduino when it is away from a computer or a wall power. These products are sold at Liquidware for under $34 each. Step 1: Plug in the battery connector to the board. […]

In this project, we will go over how to connect a microphone to an arduino so that the arduino can detect whether there is sound in the environment or not. This circuit is only capable of detecting whether there is sound in the environment or not. It won’t be able to record the words that […]

3/16/2011 EDIT: The Wing Kp Predicted Geomagnetic Activity Index model is now deployed and operational. Costello is now considered non-operational and will be discontinued on 23 Mar 2011. Comments and questions are welcomed at [email protected] The Wing Kp Predicted Geomagnetic Activity Index model is known to perform well for large geomagnetic storms and includes both […]

In this project, we will go over how we can build a temperature sensor circuit and integrate it to an LCD so that we can get a readout of the temperature on the LCD. In previous projects with temperature sensor circuits, we built the circuit and then got a readout on the computer that we […]
