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?
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

Description Mystick is an innovative hiking stick that promote exploration and allows you to share your hiking experiences and special findings with other users. When picked up by a user, the Mystick already has a predetermined location to which it directs using a compass and GPS to direct LED lights in the direction of the location.
So about a year ago I decided that I wanted to get into AVR microcontrollers. After ordering an AVR pocket programmer from Sparkfun , I soon realized that it was too delicate to be sitting on a workbench full of wire clippings. I knew I needed a small enclosure to put it in, but couldn’t
After buying a Nanode (an Arduino-compatible board with ethernet built-in) last weekend, we’ve been trying to work it out by making a couple of simple examples, the ‘Binary Dice’ is the first one with input and outputs. A note, this code example is based on the one from the book Arduino: A Quick-Start Guide by
Quickly testing a GPIO pin To set pin GPIO_PH1 as an output: sudo su (Enter your user password. Defaults to “ubuntu”) # See which pins are currently configured as GPIO, and what their state is. cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio # Validate that the entry for the Tegra GPIO controller has a base value of 0. If not,
