The Mystery Beeping Prank is a device hidden in a hollowed out book that beeps intermittently at different frequencies. I made this because I am surrounded by a lot of incredibly creative people who have a penchant for pranking one another, and this seemed like the most subtly annoying thing that I could think of. […]
Last week, we learnt about the basic structure of an Arduino program and took a closer look at the ‘blink’ example. Hopefully you took the opportunity to experiment with code, adjusting the timings. This time, we’ll be writing something from scratch. In fact, let’s make a traffic light. Apart from the basic Arduino, you’ll need: […]
A couple of mounts ago i order a 1M long WS2801 RGB led strip, just for fun. I took me a while to get the strip working with my Arduino. The next step was to figure out what to do with the strip. after some time the idea came to me: a Bluetooth controllable floor […]
Practicing the art of time-lapse photography without an intervalometer is doable, but not particularly efficient. And while any decent photo equipment store will be happy to sell you one, you can go the DIY way and build your own intervalometer based on the excellent Arduino platform. Theoretically, building an Arduino-based intervalometer is as easy as connecting an infrared […]

This laser game is a simple project that utilizes an Arduino mini. All target boards have an Arduino, sensors, and servo control ports. Shooting the target center triggers the servo and the board falls flat. Step 1:What you need Step 2: Soldering Assembly all components on the PCB. Step 3: Prepare the target board Cut […]
This is an inexpensive, DIY, Arduino-powered oneironautics device that allows users to alert themselves when they are in a deep dreamstate, without waking up. In other words, this machine will tell you when you are dreaming, while you are dreaming. Why is this such a big deal? Because, this is the first step to achieving a […]
So have you heard of sous vide? Well, this Lazy Old Geek (LOG) hasn’t or hadn’t. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide It’s French. So it’s kind of like boil-in-a-bag only you don’t boil it. The equipment can be rather expensive. http://www.sousvidesupreme.com/Shop_Online/SousVide_Supreme_Demi/Department.aspx?DeptID=3&&AdID=245&gclid=CN7PyM6uw7cCFWNp7AodomkA6g I thought that was rather expensive for a tender steak, so I decided to make my own. There […]
This was my first animated Halloween prop. I found this witch at the local hardware store. It was meant to hang up by a cord and if someone came close to it, an infrared sensor would trigger the prop. The prop has LED eyes that would light up and it would trigger a voice tract […]
As an artist, sometime I created an art pieces without planning ahead what I want to draw or paint, just want to add colors or lines onto the drawing or canvas, and never think of the outcome of the piece. Let’s our own instinct and subconscious leading away! Then I thought, “What if I am using electronic components, […]
