I adopted a cat a couple of weeks ago (Figure 2&3). To celebrate, I wanted to make a cat whisker sensory extension puppet that looks like my cat! This project will show you how to create a computationally enriched puppet that has whiskers. The Puppet (who I call Mr. Bits) has four flex sensors attached […]

3-dimensional Star Cluster using an Arduino
This instructable will guide you through the process of making your very own star-cluster from LEDs and acrylic. I made this piece for my electronics final project at college and had access to a machine shop. This instructable assumes that you have access to similar tools. This project was very much inspired by http://www.instructables.com/id/working-progress-n-how-to-make-a-multilayered-a/#step8. Step 1: […]
Gliderscore Timing Board
Gliderscore is a program developed by Gerry Carter that not only scores a model plane flying competition, but provides timing for the various flying tasks One feature of Gliderscore Timer is that it outputs a Serial ASCII string that contains the countdown time, the group , the round and whether it is working time or […]
Ardubuino (an Arduboy Compatible Clone)
Arduboy is an open source credit card size gaming console that has an active community not only on its software where alot of people develop their own game for the platform but also on its hardware where there are also alot of people came up with their own custom arduboy hardware. I personally cannot afford to buy the […]
Lite Brite LED clock using an Arduino
Lite Brite pegs look like LED’s don’t they? That’s what I though the other day after working on an LED cube for a few hours. I happened to see my daughter’s Lite Brite sitting there, and I looked at the pile of LED’s on my desk. What a perfect match! In this instructable I will […]
Cheapest Plug & Play Room Automation Setup
Their are many people who are struggling to make projects that are needed for their daily needs. One of the major example is none other than room automation. Even though many of the room automation setup cost a little bit higher can’t we make it little bit cheaper. Can’t we make it using the Arduino’s […]
Sensors in Phone and Arduino Serial Communication
Sensors are one of the crucial things when it comes to building projects/robots. Many a times the sensor might be not available locally or it might take too long to ship. Smart phone have most of the basic sensors like proximity, accelerometer, light, magnetometer, gyroscope, etc. embedded and we can in fact use these sensors […]
DIY 3D Controller using an Arduino
Make a 3D interface using an six resistors, aluminum foil, and an Arduino. Take that, Wii. Update: a much more thorough explanation of this project is available from Make Magazine. It might be easier to follow their instructions, and I think their code is more up to date. The basic goal here was to make […]
Analog Fabric Joypad using an Arduino
How to make an “analog” input device from fabric and a few other necessary materials. “Analog” in parenthesis because, although it is made up of 4 analog inputs, the only analog transition between the directions (up, right, down and left) comes from the buffering material (in this case 3cm thick squishy packing material) that absorbs […]
Arduino Game Controller for Both PC and Android
In this instructables session we are going to see . How to make your joystick . Which is compatible for PC, Laptop , Smart Phone . By Using UnoJoy Libary. With this libary we can convert a arduino uno into USB game Controller . People who are physically challenged can make there own Joystick based […]
