Doodle Bot is a very simple beginners robot that can write messages using white board markers, jumbo chalk or crayons. The kit comes with all parts including an Arduino compatible controller and a screwdriver. You will need to supply 4x AAA batteries and a suitable USB cable to program the robot. A large, full colour […]

So I’ve decided to build a robot using Arduino to control the sensors. Here’s my progress so far – I am hoping that my mistakes here and over the coming posts will guide people in more detail about what to avoid. Also I won’t provide a parts list until I have a working robot… The […]

The Arduino Cellular Shield allows you to make cellular telephone calls, and send text messages. The brains of this shield is the SM5100B which is a robust cellular module capable of performing many of the tasks of most standard cell phones. This shield requires use of a SIM card to connect to a cellular network. […]

The human-machine interface, once simply known as an “operator panel” or “terminal”, is changing rapidly, due to the graphical, visual way operators now interact with an industrial machine or process. At one time, designers of these systems could get by with a three-line segmented LCD display. Today, LCD interfaces are quickly replacing traditional LED and […]

This project is a part of experiments done while doing an artist in residence at Instructables. You can see the other projects here. You can use bit-shifting as an alternative way of creating “music”. This principle enables you to squeeze as much processing power as possible out of the Arduino while creating novel and interesting […]

I’ve started to delve into Processing and passing values between Processing and Arduino. If you’re wondering what Processing is, basically its an open source programming language for vizualising data that can interface with Arduino either by reading values/ pins or by setting them. Just remember that they are 2 very different things and require 2 […]

UPDATE 02/13/11 : Voting has started for the Sparkfun Microcontroller Contest. Please VOTE for me! UPDATE 02/26/11 : I won a second prize!! Huzzah! Thanks for all the votes guys! UPDATE 03/17/11: I would love to win a Laser cutter in the Epilog challenge as it would help the small DIY community in Calcutta,   […]

the idea of anything can be an instrumental music has been always in my mind so i made a wooden tissue box that i installed inside it a guitar of light strings Step 1: Building Box i made this wooden tissue box Step 2: Wiring we make the LDR wiring on a the top shelf of […]

So here it is! Courtesy of Dangerous Prototypes Dirty PCB service, I have been able to put together and complete the testing of the first prototype of my very own location based development board. So lets talk about what you’re looking at. The board is a 4 layer PCB of dimensions 50 x 68 mm. The populated […]

Hey – have a look at my new project HERE In this project I built a 3D Scanner, that enables generating 3D models of physical objects. The files can later be viewed in 3D software (GLC Player, Sketchup, Rhino, or sites such as http://3dfile.io) and even manipulated into .STL file and 3D printed. The software […]
