This is a set of musical bells which are driven by solenoids and controlled by an Arduino microcontroller. There are 8 bells covering one octave. The bells are controllable from a PC, or the tower can stand alone and play pre-programmed melodies. Check out the final page for video of it in action. Step 1:

X-Track is a prototype wireless device which connects you to the music, by providing entertainment with its bright beat-synched LEDs and tracking your moves so that you can later learn how much you enjoyed the night, and which parts were especially moving you. Remote wireless visualizations fully synced to the beat: * Supporting dynamic control

So, instead of buying a nightlight for my kid’s room, I decided I could do a much better job of it. This nightlight cycles through 1500 colors over 7 mins and turns on when it is dark and turns off when it is light. It is also small enough into small objects to add effect.

Everybody wants to know how many pageviews your own website has. But see what’s happening you need some analytics code and stuff like this. I wanted to be connected to the wold when I’m sitting on my couch so I connected my Lucky Cat to the internet. Whenever someone visits a page on my website
Arduino powered Lucky Cat as physical Webcounter Continue Reading
For my 30th Birthday I decided to have a D-Themed costume party, my girlfriend Kylie and I decided that we would go as Daft Punk. The costumes were quite involved to make, but we had lots of fun and they looked great! We used a lot of resources from the internet, including a great article

Obstacle avoiding vehicle, continue in “3D Laser Range Finder” series ( project 1, project 2). The basic idea is the same, measuring distance using red laser pointers, CCD analog camera and Arduino UNO. Modification was made in geometry. Two lasers were set for “far field” obstacle detection, few meters in front of vehicle on left

So about a year ago I decided that I wanted to get into AVR microcontrollers. After ordering an AVR pocket programmer from Sparkfun , I soon realized that it was too delicate to be sitting on a workbench full of wire clippings. I knew I needed a small enclosure to put it in, but couldn’t

Project MACKRA was started after I saw the many problems with pre-built robotic platforms e.g. size, programability, mobility, need for batteries,PRICE, and most being dedicated to a single microcontroller. the goals of the MACKRA project were to do the following: 1.create a cheap, and easy to manufacture chassis 2.draw all power from only a 5

A while back the instructables robot made a post on Facebook about some guys who played pong on an Arduino (http://wayneandlayne.com/projects/video-game-shield/games/#pong) but after looking around, i saw that everyone who did this was only worried about making it work. and often resulted as a very hard to use system with only potentiometers to use as controllers.
