Caveat Emptor: (I don’t want to put you off building one but I also don’t want you to be disappointed.) This Instructable is now 2 years old. Many of the parts it uses are out of date (there’s no drop-in replacement for the now-discontinued gyro, for example) and I’ve had reports that the code is […]

The idea was to invent an Arduino-based, robotic toy that my dog could interact and play with. One that could record scores, automatically deliver treats, and grow more advanced as the dog learns to play with it. I wanted to find a task to test my dog’s intelligence, so I chose a simple system with three

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use a wireless PlayStation 2 (PS2) controller and an Arduino Uno pilot a robotic tank. Story An Arduino Uno board was used at the core of this project. It receives commands from the wireless controller and sets the speed of the motors. Other development boards might also

We built a system that uses eight air-clamping cylinders (McMaster-Carr 62185K64) to push down on a piece of glass to seal it to a sidewall. A number of times, the glass has cracked. So, this project is an attempt to come up with an inexpensive way of measuring how many pounds of force the cylinders

In moments of hypo- or hyperarousal, when the thinking brain is offline, this Arduino-based Calming Book Box will prompt self-regulation with a wave of the hand. Inspired by Tinkercad’s Crystal Ball project and Instructable user cah65‘s Arduino Powered Fortune Teller, a liquid crystal display reveals a series of nervous systems regulation activities each time the photoresistor reads a decrease

NOTE: Vocab RFID Reader – The box-like object that can be activated by an RFID tag RFID Tag/RFID Card – The card or tag that activates the reader. I took apart one and is displayed in the pictures above. RFID System – The tag and the reader work together. Electromagnetic Waves – A wave that
The temperature in my office at work varies quite a bit depending on the time of day, season, and the whims of the other people I share the floor with. When I’m sitting at my desk shaking uncontrollably or sweating profusely it would be nice to know if it’s due to the temperature or just
