About: Ibrar Ayyub

I’m creating a robot, but am finding that it’s better if I break the build down into smaller projects. This is one of those projects, and it seems to have a look that could be used for other things as well. Step 1: Destroy a lady’s compact mirror. I took the mirrors out of their plastic […]

Despite the Arduino YUN was presented just recently, already a new board that is compatible with GNU/Linux has been released. This one is based on x86 technology and made by Intel, the leader of this technology. Evolution of embedded technologies could be considered a fact if a giant like Intel decided to participate with his […]

This simple instructable will show you how to make a nightlight out of a translucent container, a bottle of tonic water, an Arduino, and ultraviolet LEDs. If you’ve ever played with a black light, you’ve noticed that some substances glow brightly under these lights. In this case, we’ll be using tonic water because it contains […]

Low-current, momentary action pushbutton switches, such as PCB-mount ‘tactile’ types, are cheap, and available in an abundance of different styles. Latching types, on the other hand, are often larger, more expensive, and available only in a relatively limited range of styles. This can be a problem if you need a small, inexpensive switch for latching […]

Your last two Arduino projects of the semester will deal with infrared communications.  This lab will prepare you for those projects.  In this lab, you will: build a circuit and code for sending infrared light, build a circuit and code for detecting infrared light, and work with a partner to experiment with IR communications. This […]

About this project The Arachnio is the first Arduino variant with an integrated ESP8266. Arachnio hardware and software is fully Arduino-compatible and open source. This makes it easy to get your Arachnio up and running. Easy-to-use libraries make joining an existing WiFi access point or creating your own local access point quick and simple. The day that the first Arachnio leaves […]

This is the assembly instructions for the Tiny Tank from Rocket Brand Studios. This is a great little robot kit, and can be purchased as a complete kit or as a rolling chassis, ready for the micro controller of your choice –Arudino Uno, Duemilanove and Nano, Picaxe 28 board, or Gadget Gangster Propeller Board. The […]

This sketch shows you how to read and calibrate the Esplora’s light sensor. Because light levels vary from one location to another, you need to calibrate the sensor for each location. To do this, you read the sensor for a few seconds, and save the highest and lowest readings as maximum and minimum. You’ll use […]

The title “MultiMovEDIA” does not mean much – if anything – at first sight. However, looking at more carefully, we can see it is a composition of two words: “Multimedia”, referring to the information content and the channels it uses (text, image, sound), and “Move”, meaning movement. This project incorporates movement and dynamics into the […]

Introduction: Give a brief description of what you are trying to solve. Include a high-level overview of what you made, why you made it, what parts you used, and what it does. In today’s growing technology, it seems every little electronic is becoming touch or motion sensored. Our team wanted to incorporate that type of technology into a […]
