Overview of the Project Arduino Nano Matter is the new project that is to be opened with the same main board and additional software based on the Arduino Nano microcontroller. The idea is to create a small-scale, affordable, and versatile platform for as many practices as possible. Actually, at this stage – called “Community Preview” […]
Nixie tubes are really cool looking and are becoming quite popular for their ‘retro’ look. Although there are a number of tutorials out there on using nixie tubes and some nice pre-packaged units (see these nice ones from ogi lumenand ArduiNIX) I hadn’t seen a simple tutorial on running them using a shift register like the SN74HC595.

This Instructable will demonstrate the building of a bare bones (and really inexpensive… less than $5) Arduino compatible module that can be put together on a small piece of stripboard and can be used either on a breadboard or independently. The following links / similar projects were used as inspiration: * http://www.instructables.com/id/Small-form-factor-DIY-Arduino-on-stripboard/ * http://tinkerprojects.blogspot.com/2012/06/minimal-arduino-on-small-stripboard.html * http://shop.moderndevice.com/products/rbbb-kit * http://txapuzas.blogspot.com/2010/07/paperduino-stripboard.html The

I have been designing and building a robot. It got to the stage where it was time to do a head for it, but before I did the head I needed to design some Eyes for it using the Nokia screens found cheaply on eBay. There was certain criteria I wanted this project to meet. One

Breadboards are very handy, but sometimes I just want to connect one IC or some LEDs and resistors to the controller. My simple solution was to canibalize a cheap Breadboard to get two expandable PrototypingShields with some additional features. What I used: Breadboard (~3$) 2 Pieces of Veroboard (<1$) 28 PinHeader (<1$) 28 femaleConnectors (<1$)
The goal of this instructable is to make a no solder arduino breadboard shield like this one: Step 1: You will need Parts list: Super glue*Mini breadboard size 4.5×3.5 cmArduino pin headers** * Hot glue wont cut it** Normal female pin headers can also work Optional, but recommended: ArduinoSmall clampsSand paper Step 2: Sanding
This is a self sufficient Arduino board, which is powered by harnessing solar power and using a 9V rechargeable battery. It is perfect for anyone who is interested in doing Arduino projects that do not require a computer or any power supply. You can take this to the most remote places for any project. Step
Wearable computing, e-textiles, soft circuits or whatever you want to call it, is a growing field of applying technology to garments or accessories like bags, shoes or backpacks. It is a fun and creative challenge which goes beyond just adding LED lights to fabric. For a primer, you must check out the work of Lynne
This little ‘Add-on’ board allows you to ‘Twist’ an existing Arduino Shield 90 degree from its original footprint Twist Shield.brd42 KB Step 1: The Problem… Have you ever finished a project and then realized you stopped one step too soon? While plugging in various shields I have into the ‘Wing Tip Extensions’ I built I noticed an
In this instructable I will detail how I went about making a quick and easy, Arduino compatible, H-bridge shield. But first, a brief intro into what got me motivated to make it. A couple of years ago, I started wanting to learn more about micro-controllers. This led me to want to make my own robot,
