Now with more LED. Arduino mega powered breathalyzer using the MQ-3 sensor.   A relative gauge for judging how intoxicated you are. NOT TO BE USED AS MEANS OF BREATHALYZING NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. This is more of a device to encourage one to drink more. The MQ-3 can’t achieve the accuracy to register exact […]

Its been a while i was searching for a cheap wifi module and with the help of smart-prototyping.com, i was able to get a module almost less than USD 5. To connect the module to breadboard for prototyping, i made a small jig to interconnect with the board easily. So i can wire up the […]

Analog sensors produce an analog (continuous) voltage that typically varies from 0 to 5 volts. They have three wires – ground, power, and signal (typically red, black, and white, respectively). Examples shown below include: Potentiometers Proximity Accelerometers Ribbon Bend Pressure Light Temperature Sound Multi-touch Touch Other Potentiometers Potentiometers typically measure rotation or linear travel, and […]

This is an audio spectrum VU meter using the LoL Shield for Arduino . The LoL Shield is a 14 x 9 LED matrix which fits onto the Arduino as a shield and is controlled through an efficient method known as Charlieplexing . It was designed by Jimmie P. Rodgers . This project uses a […]

Introduction The project use a custom printed circuit board for the charge controller power management electronics, and requires an external Arduino pro mini to run the control firmware. The power management board design has the following features: PV input transient and reverse polarity protection Sensing for PV input voltage, converter output current, load current, and […]

his project is mainly based in this one from Glaciar Wanderer. I just liked his idea and worked it on my own. (I think this guy and me would be friends, as the projects he has in his photography category are things I’ve been wanting to do since I got my Arduino. I will not […]

The TROBOT is a miniature six-axis articulated robot, modeled after large industrial & assembly line robots. The prototype versions were developed to be interfaced with ABB’s Robot Studio software. Robot Studio was designed to program, simulate, and debug real industrial robots in an offline virtual environment. This project uses the power of ABB’s ‘Virtual Robot Controller’ […]

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is the fourth task group of the IEEE 802.15 working group, which defines Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standards. The IEEE 802.15.4 market has the following advantages; low power consumption, low cost, low offered message throughput, supports large network orders up to 65k nodes, low to no QoS guarantees, and flexible […]

Quickly testing a GPIO pin To set pin GPIO_PH1 as an output: sudo su (Enter your user password. Defaults to “ubuntu”) # See which pins are currently configured as GPIO, and what their state is. cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio # Validate that the entry for the Tegra GPIO controller has a base value of 0. If not, […]

I saw these POV(Persistence of Vision)  devices on other Instructables and thought I would like to make one and I have always wanted my own “APPLAUSE” sign.  Next improvement will be to make it go on whenever I enter the room.  🙂  Maybe have it say, “And here’s Charlie !” But that is for another […]
