Small DC Motor Pwm Speed Controller
Posted on: 19 Mar 2015
The photo depicts a speed controller, wired on a breadboard which allows you to vary the resistance in the potentiometer in order to, in effect, control the speed of the small DC motor. The big picture problem is creating an efficient PWM motor controller that allows for an analog variance of voltage across the motor. […]
Arduino Monitor/Tester
Posted on: 19 Mar 2015
I finally finished my Arduino Monitor/Tester! This is how it turned out to be: One LED for every single input or output Can be used with Uno, Leonardo, Mega, Due, Mini, etc. Also fits with my universal I/O board Power taken from Arduino 5V and 3.3V outputs, and the Vin Load on any pin is […]
Capacitive Sensing + Open Frameworks + SPACEBREW
Posted on: 19 Mar 2015
This is a step-by-step on how to connect Arduino to OpenFrameworks using Spacebrew. More specifically our project focuses on the awesomeness of Capacitive Sensing to alter OF projections to create an awesome tactile experience! What the process will involve: Arduino -> Processing -> SpaceBrew -> OpenFrameworks What you will need: Software: Arduino Processing OpenFrameworks Capsense […]
One or two die approach to automotive sensors
Posted on: 19 Mar 2015
Abstract ISO 26262 is intended to be applied to safety-related systems that include one or more electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems and that are installed in series production passenger cars with a maximum gross vehicle mass up to 3 500 kg. ISO 26262 does not address unique E/E systems in special purpose vehicles such […]
Arduino Personal Soundtrack Hoodie
Posted on: 18 Mar 2015
This was inspired by Raj’s personal soundtrack shirt in Big Bang Theory S3, E16, “The Excelsior Acquisition”. You can now buy them online but it’s much more fun to make your own and it’s possible now that buttons designed for use in electronic clothing are available from Connectedwear. Nine of the buttons on the Connectedwear […]
Charliexplexed LED Clock – Arduino
Posted on: 18 Mar 2015
One of my clocks stopped working – and it happened to be a clock my wife likes a lot. Went to the repair shop and the guy said that he didn’t have the spare parts and could not repair this. So – I thought – why not build an LED clock – I had tons […]
Star Jar Geiger counter triggered LED decoration using Arduino
Posted on: 18 Mar 2015
This instructable builds on top of the Geiger counter triggered LED decorations I made last year. This version powers the Geiger counter from the Arduino (itself now powered from a mains adaptor, so I no longer need to keep feeding them batteries) and the LEDs now fade in and out for a more gentle effect. […]

I used: an Arduino Uno a Parallax PIR Motion Sensor and a Seeed Studio SD Card Shield Arduino, shield, sd card, logging shield, storage, logger Check out This instructable on PIRs in case you didn’t know what it is: http://www.instructables.com/id/PIR-Motion-Sensor-Tutorial/ Step 1: Connect your PIR Sensor Hook up the PIR Sensor Ground pin to Ground […]
Capacitive Sensor Design Using Arduino
Posted on: 17 Mar 2015
Capacitive sensors are an elegant way to control an Arduino using the Capacitive Sensing Library. But the sensitivity and error tolerance depend strongly on the hardware (sensor) design. I found a design guideline here and tested different setups which mostly work well if the Arduino was powered by battery. But the sensor signal changes dramatically […]
Physical Computing with Arduino
Posted on: 17 Mar 2015
Digital pins 1-7 are generally used as input pins and Digital pins 8-13 are used as output pins. Digital pins 9-11 can be used as analog output pins. That is, they can send they can send signal of variable voltage. 5/15/2012 Getting started with Arduino. I have skimmed through the “Getting Started with Arduino” and […]
