This robot head was originally built as a end of the year project for my physical computing class, but over the summer it has “learned” how to talk. The head is powered by two Freeduinos, 3 TLC5940NT chips and an Adafruit Industries Wave Shield found here: www.ladyada.net/make/waveshield/. The head is currently connected to a computer by two […]

There are other Instructables about building LED cubes, this one is different for several reasons: 1. It’s built with a low number of off-the-shelf components and hooks up directly to the Arduino. 2. A clear, easy to reproduce circuit diagram is provided with plenty of photos. 3. A unique approach is used for the software

This Instructable is all about one of life’s simple actions, flipping a light switch on and off. At oomlout we do it many times a day, so many in fact it came to a point where we asked ourselves “Can’t we get an Arduino to do this?”. Of course we can, what follows is how

So I mentioned in an earlier Instructable that I am a teaching assistant (TA) for an introductory engineering course for biomedical engineering majors at Vanderbilt University. My main task as a TA is to re-write a few laboratory exercises that the students will be performed during the class. One of the laboratory exercises was to
This was my first time working with an Arduino Lilypad. I have been wanting to try something that dealt with soft circuits for awhile now. This project is what I came up with. The concept is based off my friend Ethan Dicks from theFusefactory.org‘s emergent Sheep Sculpture project. The Lilypad Interactive Passion Sensing Scarf works

Open-source hardware? Arduino(tm) is the first name to come to mind! As great as it is, sometimes we need a small microcontroller solution for a project, or a stripped-down version for cost-effectiveness. The Ardweeny is the solution. These small kits are 100% compatible with the Arduino programming environment, are very small, (and unlike the regular
This is an addon shield to an addon shield. That’s right, you have to have the Core2duino on your Arduino to be able to understand why you would want this in the first place. So once you have your Core2duino saddled up, give this one a shot (you don’t technically have to have the core2duino
Updated Aug 4, 2011 A streamlined version is now described here. Beside the enclosure, the original feature of IllyClock is showing the time in colors: 3 hours before wake-up time, color changes from green to orange; 1 hour before wake-up, the time is shown in red. One can estimate how much sleep is left just by squinting

Or, an exercise in input and output multiplexing, and working with bits. And a submission for the Arduino contest. This is an implementation of a tic tac toe game using a 3×3 array of bicoloured LEDs for a display, a simple resistive touchpad, and an Arduino to tie everything together. Parts and consumables One perf

I’ve seen a number of tutorials about how to build the platform for a 3-axis CNC milling machine. I have not seen anyone tackle the tricky subject of the electronics. Here now is my attempt to do so. Step 1: Parts You’ll need: – an arduino. I chose duemilanova. (depends on the board you get)
