NESBot: Arduino Powered Robot beating Super Mario Bros for the NES using arduino

Game – Entertainment Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

An Arduino Duemilanove (other boards will probably work, but you will have to adjust the steps for your device) Working NES Console Super Mario Bros. (Note: this must be only the single game, not the two- or three-in-one cartridge) A controller you can cut the cord from Two LEDs (two different colors are recommended but […]

Q&D-Poor man’s-Skinner-Sadist-Jeopardy game using arduino

Game – Entertainment Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

In this instructable you will learn how to make a Q&D-Poor man’s-Skinner-Sadist-Jeopardy game . First off, the disclaimer: I’m not responsible of whatever you do. You have to know that with a great power comes…bla-bla-bla. Just be careful and remember that electricity reserves respect. While the energy involved in this project is generally safe, it

Radio Telemetry for a Model Rocket using arduino

Radio Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

Flying model rockets is fun, but there is always the question of how high did it go. Using a programmable micro-controller and some sensors, you can monitor the entire phase of flight and measure acceleration and altitude, among other things. With this project, I’ll show you how I did just that, using off-the-shelf open source hardware and

Bubblebot: Gigantic Bubble Generator using arduino

Game – Entertainment Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

While being a bit lengthy and requiring experience with Arduino, this contraption is bound to grant you infinite glory among your friends, toddlers and grownups alike! Step 1: What You Need Here’s a list of the materials and parts I used: The Frame * 5 x 4-feet long rectangular profile (0.5″ x 0.5″) pieces of

Arcade Button MIDI Controller using arduino

Sound – Audio Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

Having a hardware interface to your favourite music / DJ / VJ software can really open up doors in your creativity. The most widespread form of hardware control to your PC for such applications is a MIDI based controller. A MIDI controller can send and receive MIDI messages to your PC, allowing direct control of

Arduino Basics: RCtime using arduino

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

RCtime is a function for the Arduino that finds its roots in Basic-based micro controller programming languages (such as the Basic Stamp). This function basically counts the amount of time it takes to charge a capacitor through a resistor and returns a digital value. In some sense, it is a simple hack for analog to

Arduino Mega Pololu Shield using arduino

Development Board – Kits Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

RepRap Arduino Mega Pololu Shield, or RAMPS for short. It is designed to fit the entire electronics needed for a RepRap in one small package for low cost. RAMPS interfaces an Arduino Mega with the powerful Arduino MEGA platform and has plenty room for expansion. The modular design includes plug in stepper drivers and extruder

Light Meter Using I2C Level Converter, LCD, and TSL2561using arduino

LCD Projects, Metering – Instrument Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

I recently needed to measure how different materials affect light transmission for a gardening project. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to try out the new logic level converter to run both a 5v LCD and a 3.3v light sensor on a single i2c bus. I used the following parts in this project: Arduino

Arduino GPS Clock usign arduino

Clock – Timer Project Ideas, GPS Based Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

I had a Holux M-1000B Bluetooth GPS module that was just gathering dust in my room. I had bought it from DealExtreme back in the days when I had GPS-less (but external GPS capable) Nokia E51. Upgrading to a Nokia E52 has since made this receiver redundant. However, since getting an Arduino, and being put
