Although nowadays many portable devices (smartbands, smartwatches, smartphones,…) are available that can detect the Heart Rate (HR) and perform trace analysis, chest strap belts-based systems (like the one in the upper part of thr picture) are still widespread and used, but lacking the possibility to record and export the trace of the measurements. In my …
BMO from Comedy Central’s Adventure Time is adorable, if only someone would make one that can walk! Atleast we can make one with a personality. Here is a build using easy to get parts including Arduino Pro Mini, Nokia 3310 LCD screen, audio playback, accelerometers, and distance sensors. The parts added up to around $70.00 …
A medium sized box that requires the user to succeed in a game of hang man in order to gain access to the contents of the box. Great gift Idea!!! my Arduino sketch will be included in this instructible sorry for the poor quality pictures! and keep in mind this is my first instructable, and …
After completing my GSM Home Alarm V1.0 and some time of using, I decided to make some modifications. In the hardware the main changes are the replacement of the ultrasonic sensor and the introduction of a keypad. On the software, I change the SMS notification by e-mail. Also I decided to scale down the circuit and design …
This Instructable will show you how to make a Portable Digital Optical Tachometer using an Arduino Uno. This project is inspired from This instructable and is an enhanced version of it with an LCD display and a modified code. Instead of a slotted sensor , it has a reflection based sensor. So : 1. You …
RC cars can be WiFi Cars…? RC cars are cool, but cheap RC cars have limited range and can only be controlled with the particular controller that was included with the car. I purchased a RC jeep, complete with 4 wheel drive, flexible suspension, and off-road tires for about 30 bucks. Not long after playing …

An unremarked casualty of Progress is the aneroid home barometer. These days, you might still be able to find examples in the homes of people over ninety, but millions more are in the dump, or on ebay. In truth, the old-school barometer didn’t help itself by being pretty much useless at its one job. Even …
This instructable shows how to modify an inexpensive RC car so it can be controlled by an on-board microcontroller. You can program the controller to make the car do any number of driving patterns and stunts. Once you have the car being controlled from the on-board controller, you can add sensors for light and sound …

This fun little project will allow you the trivial joy of letting a electronic network announce that you have rain! The AI controlled, tear eliciting price’d Tesla has been rumored to have sensors that awaken the windshield wipers at the onset of rain. Being in a fully glass-enclosed cabin you would think that the obviousness …

This will explain how we re-purposed a hand drill to re-spool solder using a roboduino (arduino compatible), two servos, and a DIY encoder. While one could use TRIACs to play with the AC power going into the drill, just using a servo to control the throttle is simple and avoids the pesky high voltage. Hand drills …
