This instructable will show you how to create a dice using Arduino and few components. It’s an easy and fun project, suitable for beginners and those who want to start with Arduino; it also requires a minimal amount of components. This explains how to create it in the breadboard, how to solder it and how […]

Smart meters will only save 2% on consumers’ bills – an average £26 per household per year – according to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) – a committee of MPs – which disagrees with the opinion of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) that smart meters will lower bills and make switching easier. “Smart […]

B-Squares is a modular electronics platform that enables users to build, customize, and continuously update their own electronics applications. In this B-Squares App we will cover how to assemble a simple Color-LCD Application using the Arduino-Square. Hardware: 1. Arduino-Square. 2. Battery-Square 3. Color LCD Shield. 4. FTDI USB connector (3.3V). Software: 1. Arduino Software. 2. BSQ-ColorLCD […]

Everyone loves the Simon game ! So we decided to take it to another level. This project was done for our Things That Think class where we had to make a PlushBot (a plush toy that thinks! “with computation”) thus, kids were our target.We decided on an octopus that would have all eight arms flashing, […]

Easy FTDI USB interface hardware explained in step 10 Easy FTDI USB interface programming explained in step 13 NEW code uploaded works perfectly with speaker output! see step 13 […]

Aiming at cost-sensitive applications that need 32bit processing, to run stacks or process audio for example, Microchip has introduced a couple of cheaper MCU families, PIC32MX1xx and PIC32MX2xx, with MIPS M4K cores. 83Dmips is available at 50MHz, with up to 256kbyte flash and 64kbyte ram. “This enables embedded designs to implement functionality which includes digital […]

Description The LMR16006 is a PWM DC/DC buck (step-down) regulator. With a wide input range of 4 V to 60 V, it is suitable for a wide range of application from industrial to automotive for power conditioning from an unregulated source. The regulator’s standby current is 28 µA in ECO mode, which is suitable for […]

For my Digital Multimedia class final, I created a treat dispenser that is activated by pulling a chain, which starts a servo motor that spins a wheel to dispense treats to my to African Grey parrots. Step 1: Gather Materials Step 2: Construct Button 1. Cut two strands of wire around 6in long. 2. Solder one of […]

This page will show you how to put together a simple stepper motor driver board that can be controlled with an Arduino. I built mine to use with my heliostat projects, but it could be used for other things too. Update: I no longer use this driver board with my sun tracking / heliostat system. […]

For a recent project I needed to build a large and obvious bar graph display. This was to show the power generated from a bicycle generator. I came up with this design and was pretty pleased with the final results as it is relatively low cost but still pretty visual. It stands 1.5m high and […]
