Who would have thought that just about every Arduino attachment can be controlled in some way with a TV remote? Now its time to find out how. Arduino.skp141 KB Step 1: Setup and Materials The setup for this is quite basic. The real challenge is finding neat products for this and writing the code. Materials. […]
Frugal Engineering is the best way forward for science. If you’re interested in making some arduino’s from scratch , you’ve come to the right place. You can see a video tutorial of this instructable : here It will supplement any loopholes or doubts you may have. Lets start with an introduction on what we’ll do […]
This is an introduction on how to setup, make a basic connection, and send data to and from an Arduino using Bluetooth! Bluetooth is great for transmitting data over medium distances and what’s more, Arduino just treats it like a serial data connection. This means that we can use the Serial Library. That’s a nice […]
This Instructable covers the assembly of a circuit capable of PWM-ing (pulse width modulating) a high-power RGB LED strip and programming an Arduino to cycle through a range of colors. In this context, “high power” is 9-12 volts. I will discuss how to mount a transistor to a heatsink and assemble the circuit. I will […]
Step 1: IR library First you need to go to this page and download the IR library. You just need to follow the read me file to install. I think that any IR remote control can do this, I’ll be using a Philips Universal one. Step 2: Parts required Parts list: 1x Arduino 1x Breadboard […]
This is a simple Arduino sketch that was originally designed to experiment with arrays and the built-in timing functionality. I based it on the tutorial sample code http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Knock The system consists of a piezo sensor connected to an analog pin that listens for a knock from the user. The Arduino then stores the time the knock […]
For science fair this year, I felt like building something instead of doing an experiment. All I needed to do was look around Instructables for a project idea. I was inspired by njkl44’s robotic hand since it reminds me so much of stuff out of science fiction movies. My goal was to create a system […]
Hello everyone! This instructable is a tutorial that will guide you on using the Capacitive touch sensors with Arduino. A Capacitive sensor is a kind of touch sensor, that requires little or no force to activate. In this Instructable about capacitive touch sensing, I’ll show you: How Capacitive Sensors work How to use them with […]
UPDATE: Added Schematic, Top Layer PCB, Bottom Layer PCB, and both Top, Bottom PCB images When I finished the “RevIO” – an Arduino Clone that has the different way of exposing pins usage. I decided to go further to the next project. To test my “RevIO” board that it could do the bigger task than […]
This is a tutorial for using the 7-Key Slider/Wheel Breakout from Rachel’s Electronics. I’ll show you how to solder up the header pins for maximum usability. Rachel’s has the QT1106 datasheet on their site, and a great arduino library for this breakout. The kit from Rachel’s Electronics comes packed with cool stuff: QT1106 breakout with […]
