This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com). What is an DIY project? DIY also known as Do It Yourself, is often denoted as projects that can be completed by oneself rather than employing a professional. That is what most engineers in their […]

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

I have been a school teacher for most of my adult life, and like most students, I look forward to the long summer break that awaits us each year. This year as one of my classes learned the basics of LED control with Arduino and then graduated on to displaying simple messages with 4-digit 7-segment

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

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.

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
100+ Switches in a Single Pin of Arduino Continue Reading
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
