**DISCLAIMER** I do not and will not take responsibility for anyone who gets in trouble for this, by either imitating emergency personnel, or using without a permit/lisence. Updates! -I have shortened the code -Changed 16 LED’s to 8 -Changed/added more flash patterns -Renamed variables As promised, this is the ATMega 2650 version of the police […]
As you might be able to tell from recent posts, I’ve been doing quite a bit of work with an Arduino. I’ve now got at least one project that I’d like to make a little more permanent, rather than it just being a bunch of components on a breadboard. The easiest option would probably be […]
Ever wanted an LED tree? Well now you can have your LED tree and eat it too (no, wait, you probably shouldn’t).. Step 1: Gather the parts You will need: 1x ATtiny85 10x male header pins Solid core wire, 2 colors A bunch of LEDs 1x Arduino Uno to program the ATtiny Step 2: Program […]
The goal of this experiment is to convert the Arduino board into an USB keyboard plus a VGA sniffer to crack the password of a standard BIOS using the brute force attack method. There are no advantages in using this method, in fact this can be very slow and you may never find the password […]
Theremins are cool. Fact. You may also have heard of them as either aetherphone/ etherophone or termenvox/ thereminvox. Essentially its an electronic music instrument that plays a certain note depending on the position of your hand and its distance from an antenna. Building a very basic one with Arduino is easy – easier than my […]
A really fun project sent into us by Thomas Meghe. He’s translated it all from his native French, which is a technical achievement itself. If you’d like to see the original, you can find it here. Bored of your favorite Twitter client ? No problem, here’s the solution ! In this post we are going […]
Walleye is an interactive light installation which engages users in temporal gestural and bodily play. It generates temporal light propagation patterns, or a large scale very low resolution pixilated image (depending on how you look at it) based on the realtime movement of visitors in the space. The project is informed by discourses around emergent […]
So you saw our video and you’ve fallen in love with Fixbot, have you? That’s okay, it’s understandable. We’ve fallen in love with it too. We have some great news! You can build your own Fixbot too, provided that you’re okay with getting your hands dirty and that you have access to a Makerbot / […]
I think this’ll be the start of a few more projects for me. I’ve seen some cool LED PoV stuff (Persistance of Vision) with mounting displays on bikes, so hopefully I’ll get round to doing something like that. Anyway as a start I’ve got 5 LED’s connected to 5 pins on the Arduino, nothing complex […]
This instructable will show you how to create a simple servo leg that can be controlled by buttons on an arduino or via serial. Here is a video of the leg in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8i1nrPIJvo Leg Materials: Popsicle sticks-make sure that all of them are flat and not curved, like in the picture Paper clip 4 […]
