Arduino Twitter garage door

Twitter garage door using the GE Choice ALERT system & Arduino

You know that feeling of driving away from your house almost getting to work and saying “Now Did close the garage door?” .  I hate that feeling and seeked out to resolve it in the smiplest/cheapest way I could.  The starting point was of course Arduino.  This project ended up being simpler than I could

Driving two Nixie tubes with an Arduino via a shift register and two SN74141s

Driving two Nixie tubes with an Arduino via a shift register and two SN74141s

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.

3D printed parts for a new 3D printer!

Making the Maker Hub: Printing a 3d printer, Arduino and construction pics

RepRap Update I have finally printed all the plastic parts for the Griffin Open Source 3D printer I’m building, and they look fantastic! The remaining components should arrive soon, and then I can start construction. In the meantime, I’ve been configuring the printer control board, an Arduino Mega 2560 with the RAMPS 1.4 extension. RAMPS

Reading pulses from meters with pulse outputs..

Reading pulses from meters with pulse outputs.. using arduino

A note on what this document covers The key addition to the wealth of online information about pulse counting is the method of counting pulses from multiple sources (up to 12) using continuous sampling and direct port manipulation in an Arduino sketch instead of interrupt-based counting. When tallying pulses from one or two pulse output

Arduino Based Vehicle Accident Alert System using GPS GSM and Accelerometer

Arduino Based Vehicle Accident Alert System using GPS, GSM and Accelerometer

In our previous tutorials, we have learned about How to interface GPS module with Computer, how to build a Arduino GPS Clock and how to Track vehicle using GSM and GPS.  Here in this project, we are going to build a Arduino based vehicle accident alert system using GPS, GSM and accelerometer. Accelerometer detects the sudden

Custom OBD II Gauge in With OEM Look using arduino

Custom OBD II Gauge in With OEM Look using arduino

https://github.com/stirobot/arduinoModularTFTgaugesI built a custom OBD II (on board diagnostics version 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics) The clock in my Subaru BRZ (GT86, FRS) was a popular feature, and many people asked me to make one for them. This is how you can construct your own. My spouse is close to delivering our second son and since all the
