Sign Language Translator using Arduino
Posted on: 02 Mar 2015
First of all, this project is not finished. We’re still trying to improve and fix some problems. Right now, we’re only able to translate letters from “A” to “E”. The program still have problems while identificating those letters, the values for each of them match sometimes, so we’re still trying to fix this. Many people […]
AC Dimmer Circuit: 46
Posted on: 02 Mar 2015
Green wire is zero_cross signal, goes to Arduino digital pin 2 in. Yellow wire is light dimming signal, comes from Arduino digital pin 11. The LED on board should dim or fade along with the AC light source. Fading will not work until AC power is connected, it depends on the zero-cross info from the […]
Maze Solving Robot
Posted on: 19 Feb 2015
In this instructable I will be showing you how to build a maze solving robot. This is actually my 3rd attempt at making one. The first was a complete failure. The second was alright at finding the end of the maze, but it could not go back and drive the quickest path. This is my […]

Zigbee Wireless Relay Control and Power Monitoring System
Posted on: 05 Feb 2015
Introduction We designed a system for wirelessly controlling relays and monitoring current. This is used for a home load simulation. By wirelessly turning relays on and off by sending commands from a PC to a microcontroller we can change the total load (current) to our simulated home. For wireless communication, we used XBee Series 2 […]

How many TV shows and movies have some mysterious device counting down to zero those displays are 7 segment displays.With the 7 segment displays you can display any number or some alphabets that your heart desires. At first controlling a 7 segment display seems quite complex but it quickly becomes clear. What follows is a […]
Breathalyzer using an Arduino
Posted on: 15 Jan 2015
What is a breathalyzer you may ask? It is a device for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample. In simple terms it is a device to test weather a person is drunk or not. As the title suggests it runs on the Arduino. Our breathalyzer uses the MQ-3 alcohol sensor from sparkfun. […]
How to Make a PIP-Boy using an Arduino
Posted on: 14 Jan 2015
So what exactly is a PIP-Boy, you ask? For those unfamiliar, a PIP-Boy is a device used by the protagonist in the popular Fallout series of video games for navigation, radiation detection, data storage/playback, and inventory management. Being a major fan of the franchise, I decided I wanted to make my own version, but no […]
Arduino Leonardo Pinout Diagram
Posted on: 07 Jan 2015
Arduino Leonardo Introduction: The Arduino Leonardo is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega32u4 (datasheet). It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 7 can be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a micro USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to […]
