Hi there, You’re going to transform any RC toy car into a big message writer that can be used to transform your city squares into witty messages, political statements or beautiful drawings, and for less than 20$. The idea is to drop a trail of powder or paint behind the car to write the message. […]

Conducting energy through people to stimulate tangible public interactions http://ijustwannaholdyourhand.com/ http://vimeo.com/56350598 What did we do? We put together an Arduino, some wire, a Mac mini and a DLP Projector, then created a pair of hands out of aluminum. We additionally 3D printed some wall plates that resemble light switch plates, but instead of holding an […]

Hi everyone, Lucy Matchett, Nicole Yi Messier, and Joselyn McDonald (Snax_and_Macs) made a remote flower-watering device so you can water your loved ones’ plants when you water your own. We used Arduinos, a photoresistor, a servo, Arduino and Processing sketches, Spacebrew, and a little elbow grease to put it all together. We’ve posted the instructions, […]

This is a super simple and easily customizable little synthesizer. This is my first time using the Arduino and also with acrylic, both I found very fun to work with though.  This is also my first Instructables so hopefully I have explained this well enough. Step 1: Part and tools For the innards: Arduino Uno […]

After posting up the v1 of my project many people requested an more detailed instructable. So i decided to start with a new one with a little upgrades to my previous instructable. What does this thing do? Well its quite simple it is just an replacement for an distance tape. It can also measure temperature, […]

Good morning, please take a seat and watch that tofu wobble. This is not CGI, it is honest work of a papercraftsman. These are, in fact, 16 different papercubes that switch places in each frame. That technique is commonly known as replacement stopmotion. Problem: It only works on the screen and not in reality. Therefore, some […]

Project Gado is an initiative which aims to create an open-source archival scanning robot which small archives can purchase for $500 and use to autonomously scan their photographic collections. This talk presents the Gado 2, a prototype

Sometimes you get a chance to combine helping out your family with a nice hobby project.. In this case my father in law was looking for a lighting system for his bird breeding cages. A daylight simulation system to be exact. He asked me to take a look at a website which sells such systems, […]

This instructable is a basic version of Bley Joel’s (“It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in”) Solar Shield, and it should work for most arduinos.  I’ve tested it with SparkFun’s Arduino Pro, and the new Leonardo. Myself and the other Solar Pocketeers* are actually waiting for a new set of PCBs […]
