Overview: I’ve often thought that a lighthouse would make a great project for an Arduino, and so I decided to give it a try using one of the local lighthouses here in Erie, Pennsylvania as inspiration. I chose the North Pierhead Lighthouse that guards the entrance to Presque Isle Bay. The model features a white […]
[ This Instructable was made at the Taipei Hackerspace littleBits Instructables Build Night. ] Can’t watch the World Cup football games, but want to know when important game events (ie. goals) happen? Then littleGoal is for you! The littleGoal setup will monitor the game’s progress, and alert you via vigorous flag-waving and a photogenic Goal! […]
Hey, what’s up, everyone? So here’s something useful: a custom breakout board for using the ESPWROOM02U module for tinkering and testing. The ESP-WROOM-02U Breakout Board is an ESP8266EX-based microcontroller that offers the same features as its predecessor, the ESP Series, but is way smaller, making it suitable for implementing into a badge or wearable project. […]
This shield makes it easy to control two brushed DC motors with your Arduino or Arduino-compatible board. Its dual MC33926 motor drivers operate from 5 to 28 V and can deliver a continuous 3 A per motor. These great drivers also offer current-sense feedback and accept ultrasonic PWM frequencies for quieter operation. The Arduino pin mappings can […]
Stepper motors are not smooth – they move in “steps”. Different motors have a different number of steps to make one complete rotation. You use software to step the motor forward or backward at different speeds. There are two kinds of stepper motor bipolar and unipolar – Unipolar will have five or six cables coming […]
The aim of this project is to create a setup to capture the image of a falling object or any object in motion at a precise time using a DSLR and Arduino microcontroller. It can be done in many different ways, but the method I tried is illustrated below. Figure 1: Schematic of the setup […]
A Binary Clock! I was recently looking at some binary clocks and I felt like Why not? I have everything to make one and I don’t have a clock in my room. So I decided to build one and here it is. Hope you Like it and maybe build your own. It’s a cool project […]

Hi all, For a project, I was looking for a cheap solution to send data from an Arduino to an other one. The serial port was already taken, and my transmission (unidirectional) needed to be wireless. My researches has brought me to discover these kinds of radio modules (433MHz). They were available on the net, […]
Hey guys! Since I’ve got my servos, I’ve had two that I set aside for hacking. So, coming to my favorite website for help, I was sorely disappointed when I couldn’t seem to find any instructables on how to mod a micro servo. After viewing a few, I went to my workbench and got to […]
