Breadboards are very handy, but sometimes I just want to connect one IC or some LEDs and resistors to the controller. My simple solution was to canibalize a cheap Breadboard to get two expandable PrototypingShields with some additional features. What I used: Breadboard (~3$) 2 Pieces of Veroboard (<1$) 28 PinHeader (<1$) 28 femaleConnectors (<1$)

Intro: If you’ve got an Arduino Uno and want to start duplicating projects without having to buy an Uno every time… get ready to live! This instructable will show you how to move your projects (that do not require serial communication) onto a breadboard for prototyping or expansion. If you’re looking for a more permanent

Welcome to my first Instructable! This is for something I’ve coined the “Tweety” or, Tweety-Button. The concept is simple, you’re on your computer and the inspiration to Tweet is welling up inside. Chrome is being slow today, and you want to get those 140 characters out, fast! No fear, just click on the Tweety button

Background: I made a self-balancing electric skateboard which is steered using a Wii Nunchuck by either using the thumb joystick on the top or by tilting it left or right, depending on which of the two buttons on the end are being pressed. A simplified self balancing board is described in the instructable here: www.instructables.com/id/Easy-build-self-balancing-skateboardrobotsegway-/

This is a pretty simple game: The Arduino shows a number in binary on the green LEDs. You then guess whether your green number is bigger than the computer’s number. The Arduino shows its number on the red LEDs. If you were right, you will see a green flashing pattern. If you are wrong, you’ll

As a project for one of my college classes, we were asked to create something using the Arduino. After a few different ideas, I settled on putting an Arduino noise machine into a suit jacket. It uses parts of the jacket to make function, so that it appears that the jacket is making sounds for

This 3X3X3 ft. LED PVC cube is the ultimate in mood light fun! An LED (light emitting diode) will burn longer than traditional bulbs so that you can enjoy your giant light for a LONG LONG time. Build it and see! Step 1: WARNING!!! THIS PROJECT WILL COST ABOUT $150 Also…. make sure that your dimensions

When you are tinkering around with your Arduino and a breadboard you might want to make yourself an “Arduino Bracket”. Nothing more than header pins and a piece of wire, the “Arduino Bracket” keeps wiring neat and tidy, and lets you easily disconnect your Arduino for use in other projects. Step 1: Gather Necessary Supplies

Eat too many cookies? These are some guidelines for how you can add a few security features to an ordinary box of cookies – or at least have a fun toy. The runaway cookie box will roll away when objects approach it and sound an alarm when it is picked up. What you need for
