Idea: To take one of my old Playstation 1 controllers and extract the dual thumbstick setup so that it can be easily used in a microcontroller project (in my case: with the Arduino) without extra libraries or drivers that you would need if you want to use the entire controller. Please let me know what

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

Make A “doorbell” using an Arduino Uno, a Wave shield from Adafruit, a small speaker, a plug, a Sharp distance sensor and a Shaun the Sheep. Our Shaun is used in an open doorway to alert store staff when a customer has entered. Step 1: Parts List 1. Wav Shield Party Pack (includes speaker and

I came across a bunch of stepper motors and I have since been looking for a project to do with the kids. An old Telecran (French for Etch-a-Sketch) later, we are in business ! What I used for this project: – an Arduino Uno – 2 stepper motors – 2 easydrivers v44 (by www.sparkfun.com) –

This is an audio spectrum VU meter using the LoL Shield for Arduino . The LoL Shield is a 14 x 9 LED matrix which fits onto the Arduino as a shield and is controlled through an efficient method known as Charlieplexing . It was designed by Jimmie P. Rodgers . This project uses a

The TROBOT is a miniature six-axis articulated robot, modeled after large industrial & assembly line robots. The prototype versions were developed to be interfaced with ABB’s Robot Studio software. Robot Studio was designed to program, simulate, and debug real industrial robots in an offline virtual environment. This project uses the power of ABB’s ‘Virtual Robot Controller’

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,

I saw these POV(Persistence of Vision) devices on other Instructables and thought I would like to make one and I have always wanted my own “APPLAUSE” sign. Next improvement will be to make it go on whenever I enter the room. 🙂 Maybe have it say, “And here’s Charlie !” But that is for another

NOTE: This instructable is now slightly old and a better machine has been made with lower cost parts and much better software that automatically allows you to “pair” new cards with new tracks as they are added to the iPod playlist. iPod playback track selection simply by putting RFID “bricks” on a table. – An

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
