IMP-ERSONATOR: Electric Imp + Arduino + Wave Shield = Remote Sound File Player

Sound – Audio Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

This Instructable will demonstrate how to make a remotely activated sound file player. It uses an Electric Imp, an Adafruit Wave shield and an Arduino Uno The Electric Imp enables you to quickly connect devices (including arduinos) to the internet through your Wifi network. The Adafruit Wave shield makes it simple to play audio files

Wing Tip Extensions for Arduino

Greetings, One late night of web surfing I came across some 45 Degree Extension boards. Thinking to myself “Wow!” that’s cool and then I looked at the price…$27.00 before S&H. “Yikes!” I’ve been looking for an excuse to learn Eagle PCB layout software and this was the project I decided to cut my teeth on…”Wing

DIY FSK RFID Reader using Arduino

How To – DIY – Project Ideas, Projects, RFID - NFC projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

This page explains how to build an RFID reader with just an Arduino (Nano 3.0 was used in testing, but other models may be compatible), a wire coil made by hand, and various affordable common components. Credits The hardware and software designs for this project are based in part on the ideas, code and schematics

RFIDuino – Using an Arduino & RFID Reader to make a puzzle GeoCache

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

I enjoy both Geocaching and electronics and have made a couple of electronic puzzle caches using an Arduino. My latest creation (with the help of a fellow cacher for the code) is using an Arduino and RFID reader to make a puzzle geocache we call RFIDuino. The GeoCacher takes RFIDuino and has to find 3

Poor Man’s Robot Base

Robotics – Automation Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

I’ve been wanting to get into robotics for awhile now, but it can cost at the very least 20 dollars to build a decent motor base, and I wasn’t willing to invest that much money into it, so I made a robot base using parts I had lying around. You’re not likely to build this

Bike taillight with a twist using Arduino

Arduino Car Project Ideas, Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

Let’s face it. Taillights are boring. At best they go ‘blink blink – look at me! I’m blinking – woohoo’ all the time. And they’re always red. Very creative. We can do better than that, maybe not much, but still better than just ‘blink blink’. I was riding my bike during new year celebrations and

EARTH SAVER: Autonomous Material Sorter using Arduino

Ideas, Other Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

This Arduino project was part of an Association of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) contest to create an Autonomous Material Sorter. The sorter was to sort four glass bottles, four plastic bottles, four Tin cans, and four Aluminum cans. There were requirements such as size of the bottles and size of the machine. The machine had to

Acrylic Arduino Prototyping Stand

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

I do a lot of projects with Arduino’s and breadboards. Often as I work on a messy workbench, the Arduino or breadboard get jostled and the wires pop out of the headers or the breadboard. To solve this problem, I decided to make a simple acrylic stand for mounting an Arduino and a breadboard that

Tilt Sensing Bracelet using Arduino

Ideas, Sensor – Transducer – Detector Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

A bracelet decorated with six conductive fabric petals and a thread of beads with a metal bead at the end, makes for a simple six point tilt detection. It is also designed so that the metal bead will make contact with two petals if it lies in between. and then of course it will make

RoboDolly

Robotics – Automation Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

The Birth of RoboDolly The conception of the RoboDolly can be traced back to my senior year of high school. This aluminum ornament evolved from housing a few flashing lights to displaying a fully handmade LED matrix. The final product was awarded to my robotics programming mentor; it now sits on his desk and gleams
