The idea behind this project was very straightforward: design an inexpensive remotely controlled system capable of taking still pictures and uploading them to a remote file storage with a camera to be activated by either remote commands or sensor events. And after numerous brain storms the following solution has been found.In base configuration the system […]
To all other teens (I’m 16) who have begun to pick up an intrest in robotics and electronics the following project will give you a great user-system to get started with. This is not for complete beginers, but after only 6 months of teaching myself to code and develop robotics I have developed T.A.B.U. What […]
CustomKeys is a customizable, Arduino-based, polyphonic synthesizer. The CustomKeys keyboard uses capacitive touch sensing – each key is made of a conductive material which, when touched, signals the synthesizer to emit a tone from the speaker. The CustomKeys library allows the user to choose an 8-note musical scale for the keys. Furthermore, users have a […]
A few weeks ago, it came to my attention that IKEA do a set of colour-changeable LED strips. I’ve been looking for a decent way of providing some lighting behind my computer to reduce eye-strain for a long time, and these seemed perfect: I was very pleased with them, but no self-respecting nerd would stop […]
So this time around, it’s another fun and functional microcontroller based DIY, a g-force measurement system with data logging to SD card. HARDWARE USED: 1) Arduino UNO w/ATmega328P 2) 3-axis accelerometer breakout 3) SD card 4) SD card breakout w/level shifting circuit 5) LED HOW IT WORKS: Basically, the system uses an accelerometer to measure […]
Introduction Ghosty is an autonomous little robot who is adventurous and loves to explore his surroundings. However, unlike a normal ghost, he doesn’t like to scare people. Instead they actually scare him! In our most current version of Ghosty, his vision line is based on the data of two proximity sensor data reads. The difference […]
I love the movie Stargate and when I first saw it I immediately knew I wanted to make one of the super cool Horus guard helmets. I had sketched multiple designs over the years and figured out several different methods for building it but rejected them all for one reason or another- usually due to […]
Draw curve traces for both Bipolar and CMOS transistors using this hardware and free online software. Step 1: Upload and Plot Curve for NPN, PNP, NMOS, and PMOS The data for the transistor curves gets uploaded into any computer and can be plotted using SciLab or Octave Step 2: Hook Up The Circuit The circuit […]
*** I AM THIRTEEN. I REALLY ENJOY PUTTING TOGETHER THESE INSTRUCTABLES. PLEASE SHOW SUPPORT BY VOTING FOR ME IN THE LASER CUTTER CONTEST – http://www.instructables.com/contest/epilog3/*** I started thinking about this project a couple of months ago now. A laser tripwire that can log when the beam is broken and has the ability to take a […]
