I was trying to think of a quick toy I could build for my kids. I came up with this idea of an ultrasonic range finder, an Arduino, and a speaker. Basically the Arduino plays a tone out of the speaker based on the distance from the range finder. The result works pretty well and […]
This instructable will show you how to create a game using littleBits. The game will start with a sound trigger. Each player will have to press a button repeatedly. The first person to press their button 25 times wins. A buzzer will sound to end the race while the winning machine will do a victory […]
So I was a bit bored this weekend (actually I wrote this some months ago) and since I had ordered a bunch of Attiny85 chips the week after I decided to make a quite random project with them. This is a decision box, it takes decisions for you by showing a green or a red […]
To Learn about the basic LED usage practice, read here. What is a RGB LED? With an RGB (Red Green Blue) LED you’ll be able to produce any colour that is flashing everyone’s eyes. At first glance, RGB LEDs look just like regular LEDs, however, inside the usual LED package, there are actually three LEDs, one red, one […]
This is a (moderately) simple Arduino project that is a spectacular display from LEDs – that you can wear on your head! It also uses a program that is not intricate at all, so you can modify it for different patterns and cycles. It’s also a great first or second project for people new to […]
Here’s a little show and tell of my Android controlled home automation box. It’s a small extension box that’s controlled by an Android smartphone. You can turn the individual outlets on by tapping a button from the app or use the speech recognition app, found from my previous tutorial. I’ve teamed up with my friends […]
So here is how i made my foot pedal used to start Linux terminal using an Arduino. It’s made because I am board of pressing the terminal icon with my mouse. P.S. Sorry for my English. I am from Croatia. Tools needed: -Soldering iron and some solder -Wire clippers or any other cutting tool -Screwdriver […]
The Musical Table is a toy table that allows kids to play musical phrases by moving toys around the surface. Each of seven switches can play different musical phrases in four bases, making 27 different musical phrases in total. Some of the phrases are musically related and some of them are not. This toy […]
In this project I will discuss how you can make a cheap wireless home security system.Though during starting of this project the main objective was only for security alarm but later I found this device can be used to solve several problems.These are the few practical problems which I have faced in the past : […]
The ZIFduino, for all intents and purposes, is an Arduino with a ZIF socket. It’s geared toward those that want to do prototyping on the platform, but then move the ATMega chip to a stand-alone environment. The pin layouts are exactly the same, so it should be compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino. […]
