I know LEGO has the Mindstorms-set that probably is great, but wouldn’t it be even better (and cheaper) to hack your regular bricks into your own micro controller controlled LEGO? Well I think so! I had this idea for a long time, but to many other projects stood in the way until Tristram posted this […]

Introducing RFToy 1.0 Nov 9th, 2014 by ray Today I am introducing the first version of RFToy — an Arduino-compatible gadget for interfacing with Radio Frequency (RF) modules. First, let me show you a few pictures of RFToy and a video introduction: Features ATmega328p @ 3.3V, 8MHz, with CH340G USB-serial converter and Arduino bootloader. Programming […]

This is my second version of my arduino robot after “Build your first robot”. My Second version is slightly complicated as compared to my first one but offers better features. In this instructable I’m going to show you how to build a fast robot which can measure temperature, find things in front of it, stream […]

Description The AH1898 is a micropower magnetic range selectable (Bop/Brp) Omnipolar Hall effect switch IC with internal pull up and pull down capability, designed for portable and battery powered consumer equipment such as cellular phones and portable PCs. To support battery powered equipment and low voltage microcontrollers, the AH1898 can operate over the supply range […]

The breathalyzer microphone is a system for the inconscpicuous collection of blood-alcohol content level data sets. In other words, you can measure a person’s sobriety with a device, that for all intents and purposes, looks no different than a standard microphone. This tool adds new dimensions of truthiness to any standard interview. It can also […]

Introduction We designed a device that measures and graphs various aspects of AC power and acts as a computer-controlled remote switch. With the recent push for green energy and environmental friendliness, more and more people are concerned about their personal daily power usage. We developed a microcontroller-based device to measure AC power. The user will […]

This instructable will show you how to build a portable Touch Screen Oscilloscope for less than 40 U$! The oscilloscope is one of the most powerful electronic instruments that is available to electronics hobbyist, experimenters, and engineers. It is mainly used to measue time-varying signals. Any time you have a signal that varies with time( […]

In this instructable I am going to show you, how to paint a black and white image of Darth Vader and bring it to life by adding a binary clock and making it talk. If you are not a big Star Wars fan, don’t worry you can use the electronics and code to make any […]

The idea behind this post is to bring together some robot designs and trasform them in a new device with new hardware and standard software (arduino of course) and so easier to use.  These robots have three things in common: a mechanical structure, the hardware and the software. While the mechanical part is necessarily different, […]
