This is a relatively simple clock to build, in terms of the hardware required and in terms of hooking up all the wires. The complexity lies in the software, which I’ve conveniently included as part of this instructable 🙂 This instructable illustrates a few things: * Keeping relatively accurate time on an Arduino without using […]

I spent the better part of the day on Saturday doing some more basic research into connecting an Arduino and LCD for this ongoing project. For the most part, it’s pretty basic and following the wiring diagrams and tutorials online is fine. I ran into a problem with getting text on two lines, which I’ll
Arduino ISP – LOG So this Lazy Old Geek (LOG) has had a lot of trouble getting Arduino bootload on Atmega chips. I couldn’t get either of these to work with Arduino UNO Rev3. http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP http://letsmakerobots.com/node/35649 So I developed a couple that worked for me: http://www.instructables.com/id/My-Arduino-Bootloader/ http://www.instructables.com/id/UNO-Bootloader-In-Circuit-Programmer-1/ Problem: Well, my second Instructable works good for

The Arduino Yún is a WLAN capable development board featuring an ATMega microcontroller, as well as a separate chip running a small Linux distribution, making it a perfect candidate for home automation projects like in the picture below! This basic tutorial will show you how to communicate wirelessly between your Arduino Yún and an Android

One day while exploring the bric-a-brac at the markets, I stumbled across an old, Bakelite slave dial from the 1950’s. Slave Dials are clock movements without the actual time keeping circuit. All they contain is the mechanism to drive the hour and minute hands, which can be advanced by an electric pulse. This pulse is
In this project we make electronic dice. Updated 18/03/2013 In this article you can learn how to make an electronic die (die is the singular of dice), using an ATmega328 with Arduino bootloader and a few inexpensive components. The reason for doing this is to introduce another object that you can build, learn from and be proud
Control the position of a RC (hobby) servo motor with your Arduino and a potentiometer. This example makes use of the Arduino servo library. Hardware Required Arduino Board (1) Servo Motor (1) Potentiometer hook-up wire Circuit Servo motors have three wires: power, ground, and signal. The power wire is typically red, and should be connected
This is a down and dirty prototyping shield that will work for Arduino Mega’s and there pin compatible clones. This is the first time i have made this board, but i have other projects i think this would be handy for. Limitations: I tend to build projects for megs that require multiple serial ports and
I’ve been slowly working on this project for the past month or so. I finally have some time to share and post-up what I’m working on. I know there are commercial products available, but then what’s the fun in that! What I want is a Fully Automated LED Primary Lighting System which can control separate
Firstly, why would I make a music player when one can be purchased for so little and Apple iPods are so great? Well, I’ll tell you. After several cheap MP3 clones have died due to their Lipo batteries and my cracked, inoperable screen on my current iPod touch; I’ve had it with locked down devices
