I’ve settled on the lighting industry standard of DMX as my overall control protocol as I explore the world of blinky lights.  This universal control method is electrically robust, radio transmissible, and flexible enough for my needs (not to mention the needs of major concert, theatrical, and entertainment venues.)  There are a variety of DMX […]

In this quick Arduino tutorial I will explain how you can control a relay using the Arduino Board, one 1K and one 10K resistors, 1 BC547 transistor, one 6V or 12V relay, one 1N4007 diode and a 12V fan. When the button is pressed the fan will turn ON and will remain in this state […]

Easily control your iPod with Arduino using serial commands. This instructable includes the schematic, the code and some extra info; everything you need to make this work. USB,battery or wall power supply powered. Step 1: What you need Parts: 5x  1K ohm resistors 2x  1M ohm resistors 1x  12K ohm resistors 1x  1.5K ohm resistors […]

Hi, so me and my pal are setting up so we can make PCB´s. We are currently making a UV exposure box (possibly another instructable) and for this box, we needed a timer, so this is what we have done so far, and what we are going to do. This project is based on the […]

Converting an RC car into a robot is a quick and easy way to get started with robotics. At the very least, when you get bored of playing with your remote control car after three days, you can turn it into a robot that will do all of your evil bidding. Well, maybe not all […]

In this inst’able, I will show you how to create your very own 4×6 LED matrix as well as show you how to write code for it! There is an animation creator program in step 4! Here is one ANIMATION to get you excited about the project! ***Wave Animation*** Hello everyone! I’m back with an all new Inst’able! […]

Pulse Width Modulation or PWM is a method of Digital to Analog Conversion. It helps in delivering analog average voltage using digital pulses of variable pulse width. By controlling the on time and off time, we can generate an analog average voltage using the digital pulses. PWM has a wide range of application. It is […]

This project answers to a need I had: a third hand that holds a camera while I perform a test and takes photos/videos (useful when you’re stuck at the lab late at night, and suddenly need a photographer). The downside to a robotic arm was obvious – It needs to be programmed, and it is […]

The Arduino Guitar Pedal is a digital multi-effect pedal based upon the Lo-Fi Arduino Guitar Pedal originally posted by Kyle McDonald. I made a few modifications to his original design. The most noticeable changes are the built-in preamp, and the active mixer stage which lets you combine the clean signal with the effects signal. I […]

Received a couple of nice big bread boards for Christmas and decided that one of them needed an arduino to use with it. After some thought I decided that the best option was to build the required parts of an Arduino circuit direct on the breadboard. Also the cheapest at only £4 for the required […]
