My mailbox is across the street from my house because our mailmen don’t walk door-to-door, so I never know when the mail is delivered. Sometimes, I’m waiting for something and I’d really like to know when it arrives. I got my first Arduino last week, and thought it might be a neat toy project to

This game is a homage to Ariadne, the maze-generator from Inception 🙂 If you haven’t seen the movie yet – watch this video again after you do (you can also watch it now – it’s not a spoiler, it’s just funnier for inception-vets). The nice thing about it is that it’s a 1st-person game, so when you

Experience Level: Intermediate (requires soldering) Time Required: 3-5 hours depending on experience J-BOT Kit Jameco P/N 2140285 Someone mentioned that Jameco needed a robotic mascot. I have always been a tinkerer, especially with radio-controlled electronics and so I volunteered for the chance to design and create the J-Bot. While this was my first autonomous

I love my Arduino. It got me into, and hooked on, microcontroller programming. I also like the expandability that shields provide. My Arduino can be a GPS Locator one minute, and be connected to the web the next. There’s also a kit that lets you make your own shields. That last option always bothered me.

The yoga breathalyzer is a breath visualization tool to help you understand and get in touch with your breathing. Breath is the basis of yoga and meditation, and this biofeedback tool is one way to develop a deeper understanding of your own breath. Using Arduino, a headset-mounted wind sensor, and an LED strip, it’s simple

As a Water Quality professional working in the drinking water field, I know how important it is to accurately monitor the disinfectant levels in the drinking water that gets served to the public. Usually, that means taking weekly grab samples in the distribution system and measuring free chlorine or total chlorine residual via a DPD

This instructable is a detailed guide on how to build an automated controller to run a motor that can operate the opening and closing of blinds. The controller enables the blinds to open and close based on a schedule, room temperature and out door luminosity. The controller settings can be set up via a web

This instructable shows you how to build a Web-enabled tri-color LED based on an Arduino and the WIZnet Ethernet shield, controllable from any Web browser . Check the live demo at http://try.yaler.net/~arduino/led Because the LED is exposed through a simple RESTful web service running on the Arduino color changes can also be triggered by Pachube
