Arduino Twitter Mood Light

Twitter Mood Light using an Arduino

How’s the world feeling right now? This box tells you. Powered by: an Arduino, a WiFly wireless module, an RGB LED, Twitter.com and a 9v battery. I’m a news junkie. I want to know everything that is going on in the world as soon as it happens. I want to wake up and know immediately if something big has happened overnight. However, I’m […]

Bootload an Arduino

Bootload an Arduino with a ZIF Socket

Bootloading an Arduino with a ZIF socket allows you to easily program a lot of chips at once without worrying about mangling the pins. The reason for this is that ZIF stands for “zero insertion force,” and as the name implies, ZIF sockets don’t require any force to take the chip in or out. This […]

Arduino data logger

Arduino V-USB / HID 14 channel data logger

UPDATE:  Please see Addendum 2 at the end of this article for an Excel automatic logging implementation. There are several good articles on Instructables about building your own Arduino.  Depending on your horde of electrical parts, you may be able to build an Arduino clone for as little as $3.  I recently built two: one […]

Smart Home Control System With Touch Screen

Smart Home Control System With Touch Screen

In this project, I have shown how to make a Smart Home Control with Arduino Uno and Nextion touch screen to control door lock system, temperature and daytime monitoring. During the article, I have shown all the steps to make this smart home system. This Home Automation system has the following features: Control Lock – […]

Arduino Internet Gizmo

The Arduino Internet Gizmo

The Arduino Internet Gizmo is a USB, Arduino, and RFID device for web surfing.  The gizmo works by placing an RFID tag on the top of the gizmo.  The gizmo reads the RFID tag and sends the tag number via USB to a program running on a PC. The program looks up the tag number […]

3D Printed Holo Clock With Arduino 1

3D Printed Holo Clock With Arduino

Hello everyone! This is my first instructable. This project is a 3D printed clock powered by a stepper motor and is controlled by an Arduino Uno. It was designed in OnShape over the course of a month. It keeps time very precisely and only needs to be plugged into a USB port once programmed. Credit […]

Arduino Motors and Transistors

Arduino Motors and Transistors

This week, we’ll finally be using the Arduino to control some motors! First up, we’ll control a standard DC motor running off a 9V battery with the help of an NPN transistor and a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signal from the Arduino.   Next, it’s onto 180 degree servo motors, which we will power on […]

Logic Analyzer

Oscilloscope / Logic Analyzer using Arduino

One of the frustrating things about developing and debugging electronic circuits is that you can’t look inside the circuit to see what is happening. Even with a circuit laid out before you on a workbench and powered up it may seem like you’re in the dark, unable to figure out why an input change or […]

Arduino Digital Book Cricket Game

Digital Book Cricket Game with ATtiny 85 using Arduino

The project described here is a digital implementation of “book cricket game” which Indian students normally use to play in their childhood time. The heart of the project is 8 bit MCU from AVR family called ATtiny85. ATtiny85 are small and cheap microcontrollers which are convenient for running simple programs with low footprint. The software […]

Arduino Weather Station

Arduino Weather Station Part2

So my last project was a Arduino wind chill machine. http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Wind-Chill-Machine/ Naturally, this Lazy Old Geek wanted to add a weather vane (wind direction) to my weather station. Who cares, you may ask? Well, I am a Geek. Actually, wind direction has some importance. Here in the high desert, the winds are usually from the […]
