How to build an Arduino energy monitor – measuring mains voltage and current arduino

Including voltage measurement via AC-AC voltage adapter and current measurement via a CT sensor. This guide details how to build a simple electricity energy monitor on that can be used to measure how much electrical energy you use in your home. It measures voltage with an AC to AC power adapter and current with a

Stereolithography at Home

Build a Laser 3D Printer – Stereolithography at Home using arduino

Here is how to make a Stereolithography 3D Printer. It is still a bit of a work in progress but so far it is working pretty well. This is mainly an experiment which started as a Delta Robot Stereolithography Printer but ended as a more traditional Cartesian Stereolithography Printer. Stereolithography (SL or SLA from Stereolithography

Stroboscope (zoetrope) using Arduino and a broken Xbox 360 DVD drive using arduino

Stroboscope (AKA zoetrope) is a device that creates an illusion of a moving picture by showing a rapid successions of frames  “stopped” for a fraction of a second due to the persistence-of-vision (POV) effect. It is a very old toy; zoetropes have been amusing crowds since 19th century. It makes it all the more fun

For Maker Faire Detroit 2011, I displayed a hack I made to a FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony. My fellow LVL1 Hackers and I had taken control of the motor control system of the toy and added a flame thrower to it.  It seemed to go over really well with the crowd, so I am putting

Real Time Energy Monitor with Arduino and LabVIEW

Real-Time Energy Monitor with Arduino and LabVIEW using arduino

We present the candidature of Mr. Michele Mancini for the TiDiGino Contest. He proposes us a recent application with Arduino: Real-Time Energy Monitor This is a simple power meter to analize the current consuming in a house using the led indicator of a house energy meter. Reading the red led of a home energy counters
