My goal for this project is to make a watch with selectable dials, stopwatch and millidays. This idea started with an Aprils fools prank about metric-time. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K35xG1buyFA) First I wanted to make a metric clock but soon this idea evolved from a metric watch into an open course watch. I knew that it would be […]
A few years ago, I became a dog owner for the first time. I didn’t like leaving Cody in the kennel alone all day. I had a webcam on him, but I couldn’t watch it all day long. What if he was in some kind of distress? What if there was a emergency at the […]
Can you believe that we live in an age where you can touch an object (any object – if it has metal on it) and a light will turn on in your loved-one’s space – even if they live in a different city, state, or country!? You could tell your loved ones or friends when […]
When I say simple, I don’t mean use a speed control. But control the motor directly without any external circuitry. Here’s how: How this came about: I recently was working on an instructable about charlieplexing with an arduino. And I was wondering if the same principle would work with motors to some extent. So I came […]
These are step by step instructions for assembling the 8×8 LED Board kit from moderndevice.com. I had never played with LED displays before using this kit. I suggest reading through all the assembly steps BEFORE starting to solder because assembly order DOES matter with this kit. Overall, this is a very simple assembly. It does […]
The project This project follows on from the excellent work by ScotSEA and his Arduino reset program (see http://www.instructables.com/id/CatGenie-Resetting-a-SaniSolution-Cartridge/ ). I had never taken my Catgenie apart as Scott did, but had built a small contact board instead. I had previous updated Scott’s program to so that it output some debugging output to the computer […]
Although it is great controlling the robot arm with computer or mobile phone, I think using joystick is also cool, so I’ve bought a joystick shield and make a new project. This joystick shield is compatible with Arduino. It also support Nokia 5110 LCD module, nRF24L01 wireless module and Bluetooth module. It should be fun […]
Beat Sync is a single frequency audio spectrum volume meter. It can isolate around a certain frequency ( I choose the bass ) and display it on a creative 8 segment LED bar graph. This is meant to be quite simple, yet allowing room for more difficult upgrades. It is built around the Arduino Open […]
Good day fellow enthusiast! Here is one of my latest and simplest shield designs for an arduino board. The thing here is, sometimes we have a hard time checking out which I/O pins are LOW or HIGH, especially when we are dealing with LED, motors, etc. Now, here is one of the solutions that you […]
My brother posted a video about this on facebook almost a year ago. Some old floppy drives playing Bach’s masterpiece Toccata & Fugue and it got me really interested. So I read about it when the author posted a how-to on his blog and did a couple of tweaking using SammyIAm’s Musical Floppy program when the project gained a […]
