Robopod is a simple arduino robot that uses antennas to detect obstacles. Robopod’s motors are controlled by an H bridge and powered by a nine volt battery. Robopods circuit is based on a breadboard for easy modification. Step 1: Tools and Materials Material Arduino uno Breadboard H Bridge 9 volt battery 9 volt battery […]
Not even Zombies are exempt from a good pat-down. Scanner security wands are used at the most exclusive nightclubs and venues. Does not detect metal to indicate a presence of weapons but will indicate the lack of a soul which means a more rigorous body cavity search to remove any last shred of dignity you […]
Every summer, Qualcomm hosts a Battle of the Schools competition, which gives employees the opportunity to represent their home universities. This year, entries were to be homemade contraptions, and they were judged according to how cool they were perceived to be. Virginia Tech’s cannon project tied the University of Michigan for first place. The project […]
Remote control is almost a standard accessory for most home applications, like TV, Hi-Fi, air conditioner and so on. Though remote control brings us leisure, when you really need it but have completely no clue where it is, or which one it is, you have every right to be pissed off. To solve the remote […]
This variation on the For Loop example shows how to use an array. An array is a variable with multiple parts. If you think of a variable as a cup that holds values, you might think of an array as an ice cube tray. It’s like a series of linked cups, all of which can hold the same […]
This example shows how to use the tone() command to generate notes. It plays a little melody you may have heard before. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect one terminal of your speaker to digital pin 8 through a 100 ohm resistor. Connect the other terminal to ground. […]
I just happened to see some large strips of LED lighting when I was picking up some parts at Maplin which were on sale (if I remember correct they were around £12 per approx. 2m strip) however the controller/driver was still around £40, so I thought I would just build a better one myself. I […]
What is an ACEDUINO? It is the Philippine Arduino clone. See pic 2 and 3. Quote from Fall Electronics: If you have already tried you have found out you can’t use the ATTiny chips in Arduino. This is because it doesn’t have the cores for the chips. A core in this context is a bunch […]
Hello, Here is a simple hexapod that can be built by hand very quickly. The mechanical design is not great, but it is very much in the KISS (keep it stupidly simple) style and should be doable in a weekend for builders of novice to medium experience. I won’t be improving this project any time […]
A couple of weeks ago, I published a great little controller module that provided 6 relays able to be controlled from a computer via a network. After I published it, I got to thinking that the same basic design, with a couple of changes could be pressed into service as a garden watering system controller. […]
