I recently dug up my old RC transmitter and receiver and thought “How can i control my arduino with this?” so i powered on my scope to see what was going on at the receiver. Sure enough, it was sending out the standard PWM signal that servos use. Now I just needed something to control. What’s easy […]
This example shows how to use the tone() command to generate different pitches depending on which sensor is pressed. Circuit Connect one terminal of your speaker to digital pin 8 through a 100 ohm resistor, and its other terminal to ground. Power your three FSRs (or any other analog sensor) with 5V in parallel. Connect each […]
www.ArduiNIX.com presents: ArduiNIX Nixie driver shield assembly The ArduiNIX shield is a user programmable platform for driving multiplexed Nixie tube or other high voltage displays**. The ArduiNIX is open source hardware Welcome to the assembly portion of the site. Here we will take you step by step through the build process of your ArduiNIX kit. First, […]
This example shows you how to read different analog sensors to change the brightness of the three colors in the RGB LED. In this example you will read the amplitude from the microphone, the amount of light on the light sensor, and the position of the linear potentiometer. These three sensors will control the intensity […]
A few years ago I saw an Instructable where Groover had used a pair of DVD-RW drives to make a pocket laser engraver. Inspired by the idea, driven by the recent purchase of a full-sized 50 watt CO2 laser cutter, and roused by the launch of the Microcontroller contest I took the decision to have a crack at making my own […]
My First ever Robot. It tracks objects using Infra-red sensors, and has basic AI that follows and avoid objects. I will describe the how I made this robot, and upload some videos. Version 1 (16 Dec 2011): —————–The components used ———————- I actually planned this robot before making it. I didn’t use all the parts […]
I play chess pretty poorly and have always wanted to get better, but I don’t even own a chess set. I decided I wanted to make my own set, but with a twist. I have made a chess board with a secret drawer that is locked unless the pieces are arranged on the board in […]
Intro: If you’ve got an Arduino Uno and want to start duplicating projects without having to buy an Uno every time… get ready to live! This instructable will show you how to move your projects (that do not require serial communication) onto a breadboard for prototyping or expansion. If you’re looking for a more permanent […]
The best part of haunted houses and amusement park rides is getting to see pictures of your friends screaming in terror. To get these kinds of pictures requires perfect timing. The best way to get this is with an electronic control circuit. So in this project, I am going to show you how to make […]
This instructible will show you how I built (and you can also build) an Arduino Timelapse Panning controller for GoPro cameras. There are obviously some refinements that can be made to the design, but in general I am very happy with the results that I’ve captured with it. Check out the video below for a […]
