One of the basic tasks in many home automation systems is controlling power to appliances. They could be lights, or a heater, or an exhaust fan, or just about anything else that runs on mains power. The problem of course is that it’s dangerous to mess with mains-level power directly and you may even be […]

Hi. This Instructable will guide you through the process of wirelessly  programming your Arduino using two XBees. I just finished designing a wireless EEG system with the XBee modules, so I’ve become quite fluent in their programming and have just now been able to accomplish this. It still amazes me how difficult it has been to try to wirelessly […]

Hi from Italy Although many watches are created binary, my project was inspired mainly to this: http:// http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Binary-Clock-1/, very smart and funny. I tried to improve the design and to add something personal. I think it’s a good result at the end. The project is not difficult, requires patience, it requires a little knowledge of […]

how you can take a computer u hv old (power supply unit) and turn it into a power supply that will power your Arduino and give you all the amperage  you need as well as your standard 3.3 volts, 5 volts, and 12 volts for any accessories/electronics used on your breadboard And arduino power ,led […]

In the previous post, I outlined some Arduino code to generate tide height predictions for a NOAA tidal reference station. Now let’s do something useful with this newfound functionality. In the experiments I run, it’s useful to keep intertidal animals like snails and limpets on a natural tidal cycle. In addition, some animals like high-shore […]

Sometimes I just do not have time to connect to the internet and check current weather conditions. This is the reason why I made this indoor LCD weather display based on Atmega328 Arduino MCU. The circuit board consists of two LP2950 voltage regulators, MCU, four buttons, ENC28J60 Ethernet module and LCD12864 graphic display module. The […]

This is an extremely cheap IR proximity sensor you can make with a few cheap parts and an AVR programmer. I use an Arduino as my programmer in this Instructable. This sensor only has a range of about 3 inches. You can easily add more LEDs or brighter ones to extend the range. You can […]

In this project, I am using an Arduino board to show forecast of the weather from Google Weather service on a VGA screen. The display is obviously graphical one, with icons and some colorful text. It is one of those gadgets I wanted to have for some time now – A weather forecasting display that […]

Hi. I’m Darren a 17 year old hobbyist, and this is the first Instructable I’m posting here, so I apologize if it kinda sucks! I hope it’s good enough… So how did the idea of a robotic arm come to me? Well, the first thing I remember is our chemistry teacher (!) coming to me […]

This project is a subset of my idea of an interactive wall.. so this is an interactive wall-piece.. What does it do ?   Mine is a touch activated light display. How does it work?  It is controlled by an Arduino UNO which senses the inputs and turns on the respective outputs. Step 1: Building the […]
