I saw these POV(Persistence of Vision) devices on other Instructables and thought I would like to make one and I have always wanted my own “APPLAUSE” sign. Next improvement will be to make it go on whenever I enter the room. 🙂 Maybe have it say, “And here’s Charlie !” But that is for another […]

NOTE: This instructable is now slightly old and a better machine has been made with lower cost parts and much better software that automatically allows you to “pair” new cards with new tracks as they are added to the iPod playlist. iPod playback track selection simply by putting RFID “bricks” on a table. – An

I bought this skull to decorate my computer desk. However, analyzing better, I could do something more interesting. I hope you enjoy. Step 1: Materials – A plastic skull – 8 screws; – Microcontroller (I used an Arduino board); – A Protoboard – A nunchuck (for nintendo wii control) with a adaptador Note: I bought

Introduction For our ECSP project we have made a bot that senses and follows light and at the same time avoids obstacles. Rationale We wanted some hands on experience in using microcontrollers and electronics in general . Using a combination of light and distance sensors seemed like a strong combination and a good learning oppurtunity.

Here is a simple tutorial to build a Distance sensor which will show the distance from the distance sensor HC-SR04 ( Or any other compatible devices) to the wall or obstacles in front of the sensor in CentiMeters. This project uses a HCR-SR04 distance sensor and atmega 328 or any other atmega chip which is programmed

Secret Knock Description – My final project is a door lock that listens for your personalized knock. The lock uses an arduino board and a piezo speaker and will not unlock the door unless the specific pattern is used as a knock. Arduino Program – /* Detects patterns of knocks and triggers a motor to

Overview Jump to the Table of Contents This is a simple board for measuring temperature. It uses an AD595 chip to make thermocouple measurements easy. The AD595 amplifies the thermocouple signal and conditions it for easy use. Thermocouples are great due to their linearity over a large range, and their high temperature capability (up to

The HMC5883L magnetometer This component (a small chip) HMC5883L, produced by Honeywell, bases its operation on AMR (Anisotropic Magnetoresistive) technology and allows you to be able to measure both the direction and the magnitude of the earth’s magnetic field. This magnetometer HMC5883L has within 3 magneto-resistive sensors arranged on three perpendicular axes (the Cartesian axes x,
Welcome to my 3rd Instructable everyone ! Today we’re going to build a ‘device’ to control a mini-sized helicopter with a Wii Nunchuk. The helicopter that we’re using is a cheap (26$) 3-channel (yaw, throttle, pitch) helicopter that I bought a 1 month back from Dealextreme.com . I can say that it is a VERY

I just hope every body’s heard. The Bird is the Word! This is a simple device to play Surfin Bird really loudly when someone trips off the motion sensor. If you don’t already own an Adafruit Wave Shield, I’d highly suggest purchasing one. It’s become my favorite shield by far. I love the idea of
