So, I have always wanted a nice lamp by the side of my bed, Something simple with out any buttons. Of course this would mean it had to be wireless. I also wanted to use it from my bed but not getting out of my bed to turn it off. So it had to be remote controlled, […]
Tyree (he wears a tie and he has tires) actually smiles after he bumps into something (see video). Using an Arduino motor shield, he detects obstacles using the “more current into the motor means something is in the way” principle. Tyree started out as a sketch and morphed into a real object thanks to Autodesk’s […]
In this article we are going to take a detailed look at how to build the driving circuit for the 8x8x8 LED cube. In other words we are going to design and analyze the circuit which translates the signals coming from the Arduino to appropriate currents passing through each of the LEDs, so that the […]
ArduSensors are open source plug-in-play sensors for Arduino. These were originally made for beginners to get started with Arduino, a very cool electronics prototyping platform, but anyone can use them. I still play around with them all of the time, and I bet a ton of people that are experienced with electronics still love them. […]
Using an ATmega 2560 and therefore the heart of Arduino, we have developed a universal remote control with GSM. This allows to control 2IN/2OUT, DTMF key, gate control and GSM thermostat activated remotely. We have already presented several remote control with different functions. But now we want to present the best remote control ever made […]
How To – Parking your car with an Arduino Code: // Back up Helper, by Kevin Darrah v4 #include <SoftwareSerial.h>// to read the data fron the range finder on any digital pin SoftwareSerial sonar(5, 6); // RX, TX //we’re only using the RX pin (5), so who cares about the TX pin int huns, tens, […]
For some strange reason I have a fascination with various types of electronic clocks (which explains this article). Therefore this project will be the start of an irregular series of clock projects whose goal will be easy to follow and produce interesting results. Our “Clock One” will use a Freetronics Dot Matrix Display board as […]
Introduction Ardu-Bot-Tom is a fun project created to show you how you can use wireless transmission modules to send commands to your robots, also it touches some specific subjects such as, servo interfacing and programming, joystick value mapping and the calculations required to determine which way the joystick is pushed, using the Serial Monitor to monitor and debug your robot’s […]
The 74HC595 is an easy and inexpensive (at about 60 cents apiece) way to increase the number of digital out pins on your Arduino. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to drive up to 16 LEDs with one 74HC595 using a technique called multiplexing. In the end, all 16 LEDs will require only three […]
This is my first build using an arduino microcontroller. I wanted to create a simple tone output device along the lines of the 555-basedatari punk console, but using solely the mcu as the tone generator. Unfortunately, that was just too simple a task with a microcontroller to play with–it was done in about five minutes and my […]
