Converting an RC car into a robot is a quick and easy way to get started with robotics. At the very least, when you get bored of playing with your remote control car after three days, you can turn it into a robot that will do all of your evil bidding. Well, maybe not all […]

The Arduino Guitar Pedal is a digital multi-effect pedal based upon the Lo-Fi Arduino Guitar Pedal originally posted by Kyle McDonald. I made a few modifications to his original design. The most noticeable changes are the built-in preamp, and the active mixer stage which lets you combine the clean signal with the effects signal. I

Send a Foosball down a ramp and try to score on the goalie! But scoring is not so easy – the goalie moves left and right to block your shot! This project was made for a class called “Thinks that Think” at CU Boulder for the Spring 2012 semester Step 1: Ramp Materials: Aluminum tubing, Basswood, Wooden

This project is a subset of my idea of an interactive wall.. so this is an interactive wall-piece.. What does it do ? Mine is a touch activated light display. How does it work? It is controlled by an Arduino UNO which senses the inputs and turns on the respective outputs. Step 1: Building the

I came across these Force Sensitive Resistors. I like them a lot and I wanted to do something with them, may be making them more usesable than standing on the breadboard. Few months ago, I created the pocket-sized RevIO – Arduino Compatible and having fun with it since then. While playing with these two, I decided

Obstacle avoiding vehicle, continue in “3D Laser Range Finder” series ( project 1, project 2). The basic idea is the same, measuring distance using red laser pointers, CCD analog camera and Arduino UNO. Modification was made in geometry. Two lasers were set for “far field” obstacle detection, few meters in front of vehicle on left

This game is a homage to Ariadne, the maze-generator from Inception 🙂 If you haven’t seen the movie yet – watch this video again after you do (you can also watch it now – it’s not a spoiler, it’s just funnier for inception-vets). The nice thing about it is that it’s a 1st-person game, so when you

For a class on youth and technology, we were assigned to a project using the LilyPad Arduino, a microcontroller board for making e-textiles. I decided to make a hanging board with a starscape that would light up and play a lullaby. I used cardboard, black cotton material, felt and silver beads to create the actual board

If the thought of dozens of tricker-or-treaters in gross-out costumes knocking down your door makes you want to spew, have we got the pumpkin for you! Every time the Arduino-Controlled Chemical Foam Spewing Pumpkin encounters a trick-or-treater at your doorstep, it spews burning chemical foam all over your front lawn. Now you can convey how

For Halloween 2012 I created an interactive Magic Mirror. The Magic Mirror has a sonar (PING)))) sensor that detects when kids are are close. Then the mirror says a few random phrases and automatically drops candy to the bucket. I repurposed my Automatic Candy Dispenser from two years ago. The PING))) sensor, fog and red lights
