The Super Mario games were my childhood. I’ve always wanted to have some of the props in the games, and now that I have the tools to do it, I decided to start making them. The first up of that on my list is the Question Block. I managed to make the question block so […]
We are a generation that love sound and light – can’t do without them really. Our most preferred time of day is night, or what we would call evening. We are particularly well acquainted with technology; doesn’t hurt these days. Our prerequisite for everything is that it be ‘cool’. Put it all together and in
This is a simple arduino based project that consists of a laser tripwire that, when triggered, will begin a countdown sequence on red, orange and green LEDs. I designed this to be an easy project for someone learning how arduinos work (like me). This is my first instructable so please bare with me 🙂 (I’ll
Egads! LED Goggles you can see through (surprisingly well, too)! They pulse subtly, making them so cold and dehumanizing. They were totally perfect for the character I was going after – Mr Freeze. It was my first time really playing with LEDs and Arduinos, so it was a good learning curve hugely aided by the

In this instructable, I’m going to show you how to make a simple circuit/code with an arduino, which will make an LED connected to it flash from off to on, with 1-second intervals, as shown below. This is a very easy, basic idea, however it leads to many more complicated codes and circuits. Attaching the
Dorm rooms are notorious for their dreadful lighting, so I wanted to make a cool alternative light source for my room at school. I made it phone controlled so there would be an easy and wireless way to change the color of the lighting. The lighting consists of Tricolor LED Strips and are controlled by
I have always enjoyed the various acrylic laser-cut night lights that others have made. Thinking more about these I thought that it would be great if the night light could also double as a form of entertainment. With this is mind I decided to create jigsaw puzzle that would fit into a thin box that

As a result of the questions from lekirst on this ible of my hand: LED-as-lightsensor-on-the-arduino/ and the cleaner code made by hansc44 at: Arduino-Use-LED-as-a-light-sensor/ it was time to come with a better Ible. So here it is. (I didn’t solve lekirst’s problems yet so she probably is open for suggestions) What is the idea? You might know that a LED emits light
With this you just type the text you want on your computer and your 5×5 dot matrix shows the message. Used: ~25 leds ~Arduino uno ~5x 100ohm resistor ~and a bit of skripting It took me a while to figure this all out but in the end it was quite rewarding. not really practical though.
With Valentines Day approaching I thought it would be nice to make a project for the people who are special in my life; I thought the people of instructables would probably like it too! I’ve designed a ~100mm x 100mm or ~4in x 4in PCB heart. It uses the Attiny85 SMD microprocessor as the brain.
