As the hardware is at the point of initial release, but the firmware and GUI aren’t quite there yet, I decided that it would be prudent to split off the firmware and GUI components into their own GIT repositories. Tracking all files in the same repository was convenient through the initial stages of project development, […]
Entertain humans and pets alike with paper planes launched by your voice. Story In this project we will take a look at a combination of some old and new technologies to achieve something even older, entertainment. Maybe I won’t have the timeline right but the technologies used in this projects are listed from the oldest
While working on a new Instructable (coming soon) I had decided to use an Arduino Uno with an LCD/button shield I purchased off of AliExpress. It’s a knockoff of the DFRobot Shield. I knew that I needed a menu for my project but was becoming so disillusioned with the terrible menu template programs available for
Hello everyone, In this instructable, we will be building a laser guided tripwire alarm system using a development board. Step 1: Parts Components used in this project: Development board – SainSmart Leonardo R3 Enclosure – Junction Box Trip wire – Red Dot Laser Diode Alarm – Buzzer Sensor – Photoresistor Power supply – 9v battery
Description When the world’s lifeforms are forced into subterranean dwellings due to nuclear fallout, evolution into lizard people or warming of the Earth, we will require a simple method for determining our position underground. In our current age, we are still working out the intricacies associated with determining our location in areas where GPS cannot

At Coolest Projects 2018, we showcased the Wia platform with a facial recognition Ferris wheel! Story At Coolest Projects 2018, we showcased the Wia platform with a facial recognition Ferris wheel – if you’re smiling, the wheel turns, and if you’re not smiling, it stops. Today we’re going to talk about how we built this

Introduction During the development of my electronic projects, I sometimes need to develop a graphical user interface (GUI) that talks using serial communication with the devices I create. In the past, I usually chose to develop those interfaces in C# and using the .Net Framework; framework which allows a rapid development, offers great ways to customize the interface (for
A well known power supply circuit is the capacitance multiplier. It doesn’t regulate, but instead reduces ripple & noise while the output tracks at some fraction of the input voltage. The R1/R2 voltage divider determines VOUT (a VBE below VB), and must be chosen to account for the maximum ripple on the minimum VIN. If
Combine the Si4844-A10 analog-tuned radio receiver with an Arduino to make a full-featured multiband radio. The idea of a single chip radio is intriguing. The prospect is especially interesting to me because, frankly, I envy the analog skills I associate with building a radio receiver. When I browsed the circuit literature in the area, I
The “ESP8266 OLED SSD1306″ is an open source library which allows you to control those pretty OLED modules from our beloved ESP8266 module. Fabrice Weinberg cleaned up all the ugly pieces of code which I initially wrote caused by my near C/C++ illiteracy. He also added support for Pasko’s BRZO I2C library which is partially written in assembler and
