The Arduino is a pocket-sized computer (also called a “microcontroller“) that you can program and use to control circuits. It interacts with the outside word through sensors, leds, motors, speakers… even the internet; this makes it a flexible platform for lots of creative projects. Some popular uses include: – programmable light displays that respond to […]
Now that you’re up to speed on using Arduino’s inputs and outputs, this Instructable will give you everything you need to get started using sensors to trigger MIDI notes from Arduino. This post is the last installment in a series of workshops I led at Women’s Audio Mission. The first two classes are Intro to
Book Description Arduino is an open-source platform that makes DIY electronics projects easier than ever. Readers with no electronics experience can create their first gadgets within a few minutes. This book is up-to-date for the new Arduino Uno board, with step-by-step instructions for building a universal remote, a motion-sensing game controller, and many other fun,

I started learning Arduino a couple of years ago and started playing around with a 16×2 LCD display that uses the Hitachi HD44780 chipset. I soon found out that the screen provides 8 character slots that are customizable. I found a project in which someone used the slots to create their own special characters, which

We all know about Arduino. It is one of the most popular open source micro controller board which is highly useful for doing DIY projects. This Arduino based 3-Way Traffic Light Controller is a simple Arduino DIY project which is useful to understand the working of traffic lights which we see around us. We have covered

I’ve been in possession of an Arduino Duemilanove for a couple of weeks. If you are unfamiliar with the Arduino, it is defined as “a platform for creating electronics prototypes using adaptable, user-friendly hardware and software”. The setup consists of a small microcontroller, a USB port for programming on a computer, a power socket for
Today, we will be measuring weight by connecting a Load Cell and HX711 Weight Sensor with Arduino. Weight machines can be found in various stores, and they show the weight when an item is placed on the weighing platform. Thus, we are constructing a weighing device with Arduino and load cells capable of measuring up

This instructable will attempt to show you how to make an animatronic doll controlled by a wireless nunchuk. This doll can only move its head though. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who can take this and expand on it and make it much better, and I encourage that completely. 🙂 This

Equipment: Arduino UNO microcomputer, PC with Arduino IDE installed, and a USB cable. CdS PhotoSensitive Resistor(s), 10K Ohm Resistor, and Parallax PIR Motion Sensor Passive sensors detect some physical phenomena and provide some amount of information about it that can be used for action or reaction. If sensors are passive, they may have an
