This sketch shows you how to read information from the Esplora’s joystick and use it to control the movement of the cursor on your computer. You’re making your Esplora into a mouse! This sketch will take over the mouse movement of your computer. If you lose control of your cursor do the following : unplug […]
Who wants grinning faces and candles when you can have an interactive pumpkin this Halloween? Play your favorite block-stacking game on an 8×16 grid carved into the face of the gourd, lit by LEDs and using the stem as a controller. This is a moderately advanced project and requires experience soldering and programming in the […]
This is my first time using Arduino, or any microcontroller. I’m glad it worked out so well but my wife may not be, due to the stacks of microcontrollers that will being showing up on our doorstep soon for future projects. Any feedback or questions are welcome, as are votes in the Arduino Contest. Why (Problem) […]
In the spirit of Earth Day, I have created a revolutionary new energy-saving lighting solution that is only ever on when your eyes are open. This is remarkably more efficient than normal lighting that remains on, even when your eyes are shut. Using my device, you get light when you need it, and darkness when you […]
I love Ardunio. I love the things that people make with them and I love to make my own. Last August I published an Instructable on how to make your own postage stamp sized Arduino compatible. This Instructable will show you how to to make a rugged, versatile Ardunio compatible with basic components on board. It […]
Just as you can concatenate Strings with other data objects using the StringAdditionOperator, you can also use the += operator and the cconcat() method to append things to Strings. The += operator and the concat() method work the same way, it’s just a matter of which style you prefer. The two examples below illustrate both, […]
Here’s a six word tragedy: My arduino needs four AA batteries. Really? Isn’t this 2012? Where’s my jetpack?!! Here’s a way to the future — a way to make a solar panel, from scratch, that can power any arduino off of sunlight or even light in your house. Sort of a peel-and-stick power source for […]

Hi all! This is the most useless project in the world! It consist in a Coke can attached to an Arduino trough a coaxial cable and two resistors that make a sound when an hand is near it. Step 1: Materials and Tools For make that I’ve used: Materials: -1x Arduino Uno Board (or equivalent) […]
The YaNis EOS controller is a device that allows you to wirelessly control your Canon DSLR from your Android phone. What’s really exciting here is that the Android interface allows you to change most of the camera’s settings (like Shutter Speed, Aperture Size, ISO, White Balance, Focus Position and others) from more than 20 meters […]
