First of all, I’m from Switzerland so please excuse my english mistakes. Here is one of my first little project I did with my Arduino Uno. It’s is just a little light seeker. The servo turns towards the light. Step 1: The wiring Here is the exact wiring I used. The only difference is that […]

Background: I made a self-balancing electric skateboard which is steered using a Wii Nunchuck by either using the thumb joystick on the top or by tilting it left or right, depending on which of the two buttons on the end are being pressed. A simplified self balancing board is described in the instructable here: www.instructables.com/id/Easy-build-self-balancing-skateboardrobotsegway-/

This instructable shows how to use some freely available code, an arduino, and a standard magnetic stripe reader to scan and display the data stored on magnetic stripe cards such as credit cards, student IDs, etc. I was inspired to post this after reading the intro to magnetic stripe reading and Stripe Snoop that is

This Arduino project was part of an Association of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) contest to create an Autonomous Material Sorter. The sorter was to sort four glass bottles, four plastic bottles, four Tin cans, and four Aluminum cans. There were requirements such as size of the bottles and size of the machine. The machine had to

Here on instructables weather stations have already been introduced. They show the current air pressure, temperature and humidity. What they lacked so far was a presentation of the course within the last 1-2 days. This process would have the advantage that you can not only graphically read the current values but also at a glance,
Some Arduino boards can added to the most common and powerful simulation software for electronics hobbies which is Proteus from Labcenter Electronics. Here are steps for adding Arduino library for Proteus ISIS. Step 1: Download the following zip file DOWNLOAD Step 2: Extract the zipped file and you will find two files ( ARDUINO.IDX and

How cool would it be to have your own Arduino weather station right in your backyard? Sounds fun? Geeky? Having your own weather station means that you don’t need any more inaccurate results from the weather channel! You can even log the data and play around with it. Set mood lighting according to the weather?

The Christmas light show with Arduino is a project that controls a number of lights according to a song in sync with the music. It can be used to control stage lights and fog machines (that don’t have DMX) with a computer to achieve wonderful synchronization for performances on stage, which is not always possible

Biotechnology is powerful, but only for those with the tools to experiment with and utilize it. The DIYbio movement seeks to put the tools and techniques used in well-funded laboratories around the world into the hands of ordinary people who have an interest but not the means to investigate biology. One of these tools is
