Wii Nunchuck as general purpose controller via Arduino board

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-/

High-Low Binary LED Arduino Game

Arduino LED Project Ideas, Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

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

Arduino Noise Machine Jacket

Home Automation Project Ideas, Ideas, Sound – Audio Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

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

Arduino Bracket

Ideas, Interfacing(USB – RS232 – I2c -ISP) Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

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

Temperature-controlled USB fan using Arduino

Ideas, Interfacing(USB – RS232 – I2c -ISP) Project Ideas, Temperature Measurement Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

As summer is coming, I bought a USB fan from HuaQiangBei, Shenzhen. However, when I focus myself on work(or game), I could hardly notice its existence. If I can teach it how to think and execute its duty without my order, that will be more practical and fun! So roll your sleeves and follow me
