In this project, you’ll learn to read an RFID tag using the Innovations ID-12 reader and an Arduino Duemilanove. Step 1: Let’s Get Started! We’ll be using the ID Innovations ID-12 to perform the task of reading an RFID tag. At a minimum, it requires +5V, ground, and a digital pin (on the Arduino) that […]

This is one of the first projects I have made with Arduino. It’s a little siren with a LED that fades and blinks on and off. It demonstrates basic use of LEDs and speakers. Also check out this article: 8-Pin Programming Shield Constructive criticism is appreciated! Let’s get started! Step 2: Solder jumper wires

This robot will mow the grass of your garden, staying within a defined area, avoiding all obstacles and working in complete autonomy, automatically charging itself with a solar panel. In this post we present a robotic lawn mower, powered with solar energy and able to operate just with the clean energy from the sun; this

Convert your Arduino into a sofisticated web control platform using Teleduino. Teleduino is both a product and a service. Once the Teleduino sketch has been loaded on your Arduino (the ‘product’), it then connects to the Teleduino server awaiting your instruction from anywhere in the world via the internet (the ‘service’). Typically there are no

Use the force, Luke. Close your eyes, hold on tight to your light saber and…….. Don’t touch that dial. No tweaking the knobs. Just wave your hands in front of the two sensitive sensors embedded in this bespoke piece of wearable tech. The garment has an embedded Adafruit Flora wearable microprocessor to generate R2-D2 theremin

Hello everyone…..Today I have taken something out of my flower garden….We all know,plants have their own lives,they can feel just as we feel..but they can’t express it…But what happens if a flower gains the ability to interact with you? Imagine a flower sitting at your desk looking at you,waiving it’s leaves,saying hello and bye….sleeping and

This Instructable will demonstrate the building of a bare bones (and really inexpensive… less than $5) Arduino compatible module that can be put together on a small piece of stripboard and can be used either on a breadboard or independently. The following links / similar projects were used as inspiration: * http://www.instructables.com/id/Small-form-factor-DIY-Arduino-on-stripboard/ * http://tinkerprojects.blogspot.com/2012/06/minimal-arduino-on-small-stripboard.html * http://shop.moderndevice.com/products/rbbb-kit * http://txapuzas.blogspot.com/2010/07/paperduino-stripboard.html The

The following steps will enable you to build your own tweiger-counter! It searches in current twitter messages sent around the globe for the words like nuclear, calculates a sliding window average and pushes it to the arduino that will click for every incoming tweet like an original Geiger counter and will steer a servo as
The tweiger counter Continue Reading
My entry for the Microcontroller contest is a whiteboard cleaning robot. The goal of this project was to create a robot which could erase written text on a whiteboard completely autonomously, i.e. no human interface. The processes involved in this project included devising a method for the robot to search a whiteboard for text, designing

The Internet has become a pretty good mask to portray yourself as anything you want. This includes hiding your true emotions when posting facebook statuses, IMing someone, or sending emails (like telling you’re boss they are awesome when they are really a jerk). But what about talking to someone in real life? How do you
