The ‘Poduino Case’. A protective case for your Arduino (with breadboard work area): I just received my Arduino Duemilanove and breadboard today. After some careful thought, I realized there is no way this thing could possibly survive daily life on my desk. I saw some great Instructables on plastic cases, and even one that used […]

LCD Temperature Shield Assembly Instuctions
These are assembly instructions for the LCD Temperate Shield with buzzer that i am going to be selling soon. Please note, all the photos are my own, but are of one of my Prototype stage boards, and are subject to change, the production boards WILL look different and may have slightly altered layout, but the […]
Catching Your Breath
We are nation of obsessive counters: of pulse, steps, followers and calories. Most of these numbers mean little as physiology cannot be reduced to these metrics. But we try and I wondered how do we count a breath? Remember the cinematic days before hospital demise a cold mirror was a crude indicator of expiring breath. […]
Light and Water Reactive Raincoat
This semester at college, I am in a class called Computing and Craft which is about incorporating circuitry and micro-controllers and craft to bring our projects to the next level. For our first big project, I decided to make a raincoat the reacted to light and water. Being from California and going to school in Massachusetts has […]
Dutch 8×8 Word Clock
I know that I am not the first to make a word clock, using an Arduino. Still it was always something on my ‘to do’ list to make a Dutch one. For a different project I’ve bought a ‘colorduino / rainbowduino / funduino’ a long time ago to test something. This gave me the inspiration […]
Arduino 101
To get started with Arduino, you’ll need some basics. In this tutorial, we’ll go beyond a little blinky light and teach you about: Variables Input and Output pins Sensors and reading data Mapping results Functions In another tutorial, I’ll cover classes and why we might use them. But, we might still make a little light […]
VORONOI HEART LAMP
Hi makers, we are here again with a beautiful and stylish lamp Project. VORONOI HEART LAMP. In this project, we benefited from epoxy resin material and 3D printer. Step 1: What Is VORONOI ? In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a partitioning of a plane into regions based on distance to points in a specific […]
Getting your Nokia 5110 LCD up and running on an Arduino
We purchased one of these very cheap, very cool 84×84 LCD backlit screens off of eBay a couple of weeks ago. It’s a very nice product for adding visual elements to your projects at a very low price. We paid £3.89 for the screen and it was delivered a few days later. Take a look […]
Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lighting With Arduino
I built this Arduino based automatic LED light controller for a set of poorly lit stairs in our new home. The stairs are quite dangerous – especially at night – but not any more thanks to the Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lighting with Arduino (a.k.a. “the stair butler”). By carefully positioning the LED’s and […]
Hidden light control using Arduino
I’ve bought recently some cheap dual axis magnetic sensors at SureElectronics (http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=944), I’ve tried first to use them as straight compass. Annoying problem : it’s impossible to accurately compensate the tilt of the sensor without using a gyro sensor. On the other end, if you stay on the same horizontal plan, the measures are pretty accurate even […]
