NOTE: This instructable is now slightly old and a better machine has been made with lower cost parts and much better software that automatically allows you to “pair” new cards with new tracks as they are added to the iPod playlist. iPod playback track selection simply by putting RFID “bricks” on a table. – An […]

This is something I’ve already worked on but was never really happy with the result, mainly because the potentiometre that I used was of poor quality and hence non linear and “jumpy”… The problem is simple: I need to have a reliable and easy to use servo tester, that I can use to test/play with a […]

Here is a quick write up on how to use the tymkrs “Turn Me” rotary encoder.  This supports the “push down” feature of the tymkrs kit.

Let’s say that you’re trying to drive a few Nixie clock tubes, or you want to make a strobe light. A variable high voltage DC power supply from 50-200+ volts may be required. Transformers are terrific, but difficult to find the right one and a pain to wind. Why not use a boost converter? They’re […]

This is a quick arduino project that is great for beginners. Enjoy! There is a video on the last step! Step 1: What you Need To build this project you will need: 10 LEDs, any color will do. Some wire, I used a ribbon cable I had Most importantly, an Arduino Perhaps some electrical tape […]

Hi! Kaeru no Ojisan is back with Car No.06. Car No.06 is a Programmed Automatic Driving Car with following procedure; – Simulate the Car Trajectory based on the Target Passing Points. – Drive automatically as simulated using Reflective Photosensor and Gyro Sensor . – Adjust Car Position to the starting point using Web Camera, after […]

I bought this skull to decorate my computer desk. However, analyzing better, I could do something more interesting. I hope you enjoy. Step 1: Materials – A plastic skull – 8 screws; – Microcontroller (I used an Arduino board); – A Protoboard – A nunchuck (for nintendo wii control) with a adaptador Note: I bought […]

Introduction For our ECSP project we have made a bot that senses and follows light and at the same time avoids obstacles. Rationale We wanted some hands on experience in using microcontrollers and electronics in general . Using a combination of light and distance sensors seemed like a strong combination and a good learning oppurtunity. […]

In a recent instructable Indigod0g described a mini weather station that works pretty well, using two Arduinos. Maybe not everyone wants to sacrifice 2 Arduinos to get humidity and temperature readings and I commented that it should be possible to do a similar function with two Attiny85’s. I guess talk is easy, so I better […]

Have you wanted to make a sweet Cylon/Knight Rider (Larson) Scanner effect? But you don’t want to use up all of your Arduino IO pins? Well, you can make a nice 8 LED Scanner with a shift register IC. In this tutorial we’ll be using the 74HC595 8 Bit Shift Register, and this is what […]
