In my Arduino 101 tutorial, you’ll be taught how to setup your environment in Tinkercad. I use Tinkercad because it is a pretty powerful online platform that allows me to demonstrate a range of skills to students for building circuits. Feel free to build all my tutorials using the Arduino IDE and a real Arduino! In this […]

A pyranometer measures the sun’s irradiance (power/area, basically “brightness”) on a surface. Despite the similar names, it is completely different from a pyrometer, so stop right here if that is what you are looking for. This Instructable describes how to build and test a modified version of the pyranometer kit offered by Dr. David Brooks of the

Introduction Did you run out of input pins? Don’t worry, here is a solution without any shift registers. In this video, we are going to learn about connecting more than 100 switches to a single pin of Arduino. Step 1: Working Theory Take a look at the circuit diagram first, otherwise, you won’t be able

In this instructables I want to show you how to build your own automated mixed-drink maker to satisfy all your liquid (and alcohol 😉 )needs. For a while now, I have been satisfying my thirst and taste-buds with pre-made concentrates from sodastream. The unit allows you to easily carbonate water and add flavoring to it.

This instruction is a story about how I made an ornithopter prototype. For those who do not know, an ornithopter is a machine designed to achieve flight by flapping wings like a real bird. The idea was to create an ornithopter from scratch, to control it remotely, and of course to make it fly. Please

This project is my implementation of an alien themed slot machine using two ATmega328P-PU micro-controllers. The slot machine is for entertainment and educational purposes only. I tried my best to make the game simulate a real slot machine as closely as possible. The project is completely built. An enclosure was added after the parts arrived
