This instructable is a guide for setting up an automated gardening system using an arduino and other cheap electronic parts. It allows sustainable gardening by using sensors to determine soil moisture, as well as a webscraper to determine future weather. It uses this information to save water by only using the requisite amount. Requirements for this project include experience soldering, […]

How To Make A Board Game Using Arduino
In this Instructable, we’ll teach you how to create your own “Would you rather… ” board game using conductive paint, an Arduino microcontroller, and some electronics components. Players take turns moving along the game path as directed by an electronic dice roll. Along the way, they answer questions each time their piece lands on an […]
Scan QR Codes with Raspberry Pi Pico
To extract information from QR codes and use a Barcode & QR Code HAT and a Raspberry Pi Pico. Description To extract information from QR codes and (even create your own barcode & QR Code using Python), use a Barcode & QR Code HAT and a Raspberry Pi Pico. What Are QR Codes and How Do They Work? […]
Capacitive touch Mood light using Arduino
This instructable is a quick write-up of my experience creating a multifunctional moodlight. Some basic knowledge of electronic circuits is expected. The project has not yet finished, some adding functionality and tweaking has to be done but it is already functional. If you guys are enthousiast about this instructable I will update it. At the […]
Arduino-plex 2.0: Modular Plexiglas Arduino Work Surface
Last year I needed a board that I could stick my breadboards to, that would also securely hold my Arduino. I used some Plexiglas I picked up at Skycraft in Orlando and I glued everything together with Crazy Glue. This worked well, but it didn’t give me the freedom to reconfigure or put something on […]
Pantomime – Gestures to actions for disability aid and more
Pantomime is a configurable gesture controller unit that can be used for reliable human-machine interaction. For the demo purpose, we have shown a use case of the Pantomime in a chassis of 4WD, which here can be easily altered with a smart wheelchair. The Pantomime responds to the hand gestures to control the 4wd rover. […]
The morse code generator by a PS\2 keyboard using Arduino
Hi, all! Today I’ m trying to explain you my last project: “The morse code generator by a PS\2 keyboard” I’ ve used an PS/2 keyboard to send input to my Arduino board (like described in here) and transform it in morse code that activate a speaker and a relay. Components: – PS\2 keyboard – […]
Nokia LCD & Sensors using an Arduino
Arduino: Nokia LCD & Sensors PROBLEM: Making my Arduino, a Temperature-Relative Humidity sensor and a Nokia3310LCD screen work together. Now, I’m a Lazy Old Geek, so what I wanted was an Arduino kit that would take shields. This Freeduino was the cheapest that I could find at the time. http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/freeduino-usb-complete-kit-p-58.html?cPath=79_82 Since I was at Seeedstudio, […]
Bluetooth Speaker Wifi IoT Clock With Spectrum Analyzer
I made a Bluetooth Speaker with Clock . It display Date , Time, Temperature & Humidity & gets updated from Internet at 15 minutes interval.It also has a 32 band Audio Music Spectrum Analyzer which displays different music patterns. Clock or spectrum Analyzer can display while playing music. Clock can also display when Bluetooth is […]
Program an ATtiny with Arduino
Follows are directions for programming the ATtiny microcontrollers using the Arduino IDE. In plain English, this is how to program 8-pin Atmel chips as you would normally an Arduino. This is cool because the ATtiny is tiny, and – well – this allows you to make tiny things that don’t need a big ol’ microcontroller. […]
