A hideaway cat litter box is a great way to make your apartment look like a residence for adults instead of crazy cat ladies. A hidden litter box in a cabinet, under a sink, or built in to some other furniture does a lot for appearances, but what about the smell? Here’s how you can […]
This was my first time working with an Arduino Lilypad. I have been wanting to try something that dealt with soft circuits for awhile now. This project is what I came up with. The concept is based off my friend Ethan Dicks from theFusefactory.org‘s emergent Sheep Sculpture project. The Lilypad Interactive Passion Sensing Scarf works

Or, an exercise in input and output multiplexing, and working with bits. And a submission for the Arduino contest. This is an implementation of a tic tac toe game using a 3×3 array of bicoloured LEDs for a display, a simple resistive touchpad, and an Arduino to tie everything together. Parts and consumables One perf
An Arduino Duemilanove (other boards will probably work, but you will have to adjust the steps for your device) Working NES Console Super Mario Bros. (Note: this must be only the single game, not the two- or three-in-one cartridge) A controller you can cut the cord from Two LEDs (two different colors are recommended but

In this instructable you will learn how to make a Q&D-Poor man’s-Skinner-Sadist-Jeopardy game . First off, the disclaimer: I’m not responsible of whatever you do. You have to know that with a great power comes…bla-bla-bla. Just be careful and remember that electricity reserves respect. While the energy involved in this project is generally safe, it

While being a bit lengthy and requiring experience with Arduino, this contraption is bound to grant you infinite glory among your friends, toddlers and grownups alike! Step 1: What You Need Here’s a list of the materials and parts I used: The Frame * 5 x 4-feet long rectangular profile (0.5″ x 0.5″) pieces of

Update! See Step 32 to find out how to use this project with a green laser! Also – checkout the LaserTweet Instructable to make this project display data from Twitter: http://www.instructables.com/id/LaserTweet-Twitter-Projecting-Laser-Show/ This project uses an Arduino and some cheap audio speakers to create a real laser show with full X and Y axis control. The

For the Smart Cities exhibition in Leeds in a couple of weeks, we’ve been building a physical representation of an agent based simulation. Hex Bug Spiders are relatively cheap hexapod robots that are controlled via an infra-red transmitter which has an A or B code so that you can control two simultaneously. The way it walks
Idea: To take one of my old Playstation 1 controllers and extract the dual thumbstick setup so that it can be easily used in a microcontroller project (in my case: with the Arduino) without extra libraries or drivers that you would need if you want to use the entire controller. Please let me know what
Make A “doorbell” using an Arduino Uno, a Wave shield from Adafruit, a small speaker, a plug, a Sharp distance sensor and a Shaun the Sheep. Our Shaun is used in an open doorway to alert store staff when a customer has entered. Step 1: Parts List 1. Wav Shield Party Pack (includes speaker and
