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 clip on CT sensor, making the setup quite safe as no high voltage work

FOBO is the fourth prototype from Project Biped. It is a 3D printed, self-contained, statically balanced, bipedal robot. It has 8 DOF (degrees of freedom) and can walk around its environment and avoid obstacles using an ultrasonic range sensor. All of the designs, instructions, source code, and parts lists are provided for free. FOBO was

I have watched the availability of high power (>10W) LED’s jump over the past year or so and… drop in price. I came across some very inexpensive 10W white LED’s from Deal Extreme that were in the $3 dollar range and put out 900lumens, which is more than a 60W incandescent bulb. I immediately thought

Introduction: As a group, we feel that everyone should be able to enjoy the things they love to do despite their limitations. Our project is designed to enable people who are unable to use their legs to operate the pedals of a piano and to be able to do so by simply attaching a

Small Kit with Big Functionality By Ryan Winters Product Manager There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a breadboard or PCB. It takes less space, projects don’t always require every pin to be used on the I/O headers, or maybe you won’t be using a shield but you still want Arduino

materials: arduino uno 3 photoresistors 4 buzzers 3 10k resistor (optional) usb solar pannel or usb battery Step 1: Why? During the 2014 art Exhibition at Met (M. di Ragusa), I created (with the technical collaboration of Carmel Iurato), this theremin made from three photoresistors, managed by the light and powered by a solar panel.

Ok, you’ve completed your prototype using an Arduino Uno board, perhaps using a shield or a breadboard for any additional components, but now you want to finalise your design and construct it using your own pcb. Well, that is fairly straightforward, as we have made a complete kit of essential parts available for the ATMega328

Converting an RC car into a robot is a quick and easy way to get started with robotics. At the very least, when you get bored of playing with your remote control car after three days, you can turn it into a robot that will do all of your evil bidding. Well, maybe not all

The Arduino Guitar Pedal is a digital multi-effect pedal based upon the Lo-Fi Arduino Guitar Pedal originally posted by Kyle McDonald. I made a few modifications to his original design. The most noticeable changes are the built-in preamp, and the active mixer stage which lets you combine the clean signal with the effects signal. I

Send a Foosball down a ramp and try to score on the goalie! But scoring is not so easy – the goalie moves left and right to block your shot! This project was made for a class called “Thinks that Think” at CU Boulder for the Spring 2012 semester Step 1: Ramp Materials: Aluminum tubing, Basswood, Wooden
