Before COVID hit my son went to a costume party dressed as Professor Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody from Harry Potter. I made him a moving eyeball using an Arduino, servo and ping pong ball. Step 1: Parts list Arduino Uno https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B008GRTSV6 Arduino Case https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00HFSWC06 9-volt Battery Clip https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01AXIEDX8 12g Servo https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=ES08MA (any mini servo will do but I have yet to […]
EDIT: This Instructable has won Second prize in the 2013 Radio Shack Microcontroller Contest. Thank You to all who voted! This is our very first Instructable and this step by step guide will show you how to build a fully functional electronic replica of the world famous German Enigma machine. This Arduino based Open Source […]
This tutorial shows how to play MIDI notes from an Arduino. MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a useful protocol for controlling synthesizers, sequencers, and other musical devices. MIDI devices are generally grouped in to two broad classes: controllers (i.e. devices that generate MIDI signals based on human actions) and synthesizers (including samplers, sequencers, […]
This example demonstrates string-based communication from the Arduino board to the computer using a call-and-response (handshaking) method. The sketch sends an ASCII string on startup and repeats that until it gets a serial response from the computer. Then it sends three sensor values as ASCII-encoded numbers, separated by commas and terminated by a linefeed and […]
My first meeting with microcontrollers was a few decades ago (you might remember the first Parallax Basic Stamps) but with the Arduino platform it happened more recently, only 6 years ago and although at that time the development boards were quite difficult to find, even then I found it was a very interesting thing. Later […]
Hey dudes! Lets build the trinity synt! ! More information about the synth at: www.bastl-instruments.com Before you start: the board solders from both sides and the component goes always above its printed sign so it hides the sign! You should know that there are some differences between some of the versions. SQNCR has more buttons […]
Once after Russian EFT community podcast where one of the guests said that expensive items, such as LEDX, should occupy a larger number of the slots in secure containers… It didn’t happen in 0.12,6 patch, but it did happened in my workshop. Supplies Things required: Arduino microcontroller (in different steps I used Arduino Uno and […]
This example demonstrates multi-byte communication from the Arduino board to the computer using a call-and-response (handshaking) method. This sketch sends an ASCII A (byte of value 65) on startup and repeats that until it gets a serial response from the computer. Then it sends three sensor values as single bytes, and waits for another response […]
An Egg plotter is an art robot that can draw on spherical shaped objects such as eggs. You could also use this machine to draw on ping pong balls and golf balls. You can use your imagination with the designs you put on it, you could for example make personalized eggs for Easter. In this […]
I love collecting and analyzing data. I also love building electronic gadgets. A year ago when I discovered the Arduino products, I immediately thought, “I’d like to collect environmental data.” It was a windy day in Portland, OR, so I decided to capture wind data. I looked at some of the instructables for anemometers and […]
