Welcome to the Boss Box Bot instructable, or as we like to call it, the Bo-Bo Bot. The Bo-Bo Bot was designed to use extremely low cost materials to allow people to construct a robot without high-priced kits. Our Bo-Bo Bot will be made using various tools such as AutoCAD, Corel Draw, and a laser […]
This is my first Instructable, so please judge harshly so that I can learn 🙂 Its a simple project minimal skills needed. Drawings are made using: Fritzing Code Written using Codebender The cold plate got to -20c Watter in the cup measured @ 5.5c compared to icecube @2.5c Step 2: Wiring everything Optocoupler 4N33 […]
Using only an Arduino, a few resistors, a buzzer, and some bits of aluminum foil, you can create your own touch-sensor piano keyboard in just a few minutes! Using an Arduino Uno, you can create a piano with up to 18 keys; or with an Arduino Mega, you can get over 60 keys! Other Arduino […]
This instructable shows how to build a shield to connect devices that send MIDI signals (e.g. a masterkeyboard) to an Arduino. The basic schematic is derived from: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1187962258/ Step 1: The schematic Basically the schematic is just an optocoupler with some resistors to decouple the MIDI device from the Arduino. Note that the DIN connector […]
As promised, this week brings another communications tutorial! In this video, we’ll use both the serial and processing knowledge that we gained last week, plus an I2C enabled temperature-sensing IC. We’ll use processing to generate a pretty room temperature display on your computer screen. If you are new to processing, they have an excellent […]
MIT has developed a fantastic visual programming language called Scratch. It is also an amazing learning tool for children, because it is simple, cute, and by providing interaction with the real world by a board called “Scratch Sensor Board”. This Instructable shows the development of a shield for Arduino that can interact with Scratch and replicates the […]
Setting up an Arduino on a breadboard has become a process I have grown to love. Within a few minutes you can have a fully working Arduino platform to work with as you will see in this tutorial. There have been several occasions when I was at school and quickly put together one of these […]
With this device you’ll be able to: take pictures from anything you can sense or detect: – movement – sound – … You don’t need to modify your camera or flash for this. It’s compatible with the old High Voltage flashes and the new TTL ones. Why I did this project? A friend of me […]
This post is based on the work made previously by tomek in wiring LCD displays using 4 bits. The basic idea is to group the 7 pins that are needed to drive the LCD in only 3 using a shift register. This is a cheap alternative to serial LCDs. The schematic shows that wiring the […]
Hello everyone! Today I present you : Arduino Joystick! One day I was checking the inside of old joystick. System wasn’t that hard to understand, so I thought of making my of system. The whole build is made only by me. I didn’t check the internet pages about joysticks etc. What is it? It’s a […]
