A simple and elegant way to help keep your personal space bubble from being invaded by close talkers and overly huggie people. This is a stolen or borrowed idea from Phillip Torrone of Adafruit, who mused about something like this on an episode of Adafruit’s “Ask an Engineer.” I decided to incorporate this idea […]

Welcome to my ‘green’ instructable! I am going to show you how to use an Arduino, two servo motors a temperature sensor and some metal (or wood) to make a digital thermostat for a through-wall HVAC unit. According to CB Richard Ellis (a major real estate firm), New York City is a renters market, with

This Instructable will walk you through my process of making a Slot Machine costume with addressable leds controlled with an arduino! Step 2: Lets Get started Picture set up: I found my slot picture online that the best graphic that when enlarged would stay nice and clear. Be sure to follow the directions on

They are so dang cute. If you have ever seen the cool promo for the Necomimi Neurowear wearable set of cat ears that respond to brainwaves, you would want a set too. But it seems they may be vaporware since it hasn’t materialized on the market yet, not that I would be able to afford

This is the high-tech version of hanging a tennis ball from the ceiling from a piece of string. Of course, if you have two different types of vehicles, that tennis ball isn’t going to land in the same place on both of them. This project can prevent hundreds of dollars in dry-wall repair and bicycle

Network monitoring is very important in todays world. The internet is a scary place. People have taken steps to raise their awareness by installing Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS) such as SNORT. The problem with most of these systems is that upon first installing them they are vigilantly watched. After a week the allure wears off and

This piano-liked thing is what I called touch sticky note. I Use a piece of sponge as the paper, and put 8 x 8 LEDs under the sponge. Whenever I touch the touch screen, the related LED will turn on, and this is how I write for the sponge. I got the idea from the

I got this idea for a while but I never had the chance to try it out. Friday, a workmate gave me a LCD shield for Arduino and I thought that was the right time to build a clock that comunicate the time through QR-codes. Of course, it’s extremely useless (as most of the clocks nowadays). In the
The useless but mazing QR-clock using Arduino Continue Reading
So, instead of buying a nightlight for my kid’s room, I decided I could do a much better job of it. This nightlight cycles through 1500 colors over 7 mins and turns on when it is dark and turns off when it is light. It is also small enough into small objects to add effect.
