I am twenty years old. I picked up my arduino for the first time this Christmas, and I’ve been keeping busy on my arduino applications so that I can bring you this instructable. I hope that it helps!!! The purpose of this project was to build a stepping stone from remote controlled flight to completely […]
In our previous two tutorials (see here and here), we created a Simon-type game using the Arduino, a hardware platform for simple, and not so simple, electronics projects. We placed three buttons and three LEDs on to something called a breadboard, and wrote a small program that would send a random sequence to the LEDs, […]
This is a simple solar tracker which automatically orients itself towards the sun or any bright source of light like the sun .If you place solar panels on this robot it can increase their productivity by 90 to 95 %. At first creating a solar tracking robot may sound complicated but it quite quickly becomes […]
In part 1 of our Arduino tutorial seres we covered the basics of how the Arduino works, and we’re going to use that knowledge in a hands-on project and see how this open-source hardware programming environment works when we’re actually trying to get something done with it. After this, you’ll have more than enough information […]
I was inspired by Frits Lyneborg’s Yellow Drum Machine. Watching the videos, it has such personality! I have also been thinking recently about sound and robotics. I did some research looking for a version of the robot that used the Arduino as a brain, but couldn’t find one that seemed so responsive and alive as […]
Arduino is cool. It’s cool because it’s a tiny device – about three inches by two inches – that comes with a USB port and a programmable chip. It’s cool because you can program it using a very simple programming language known as Wiring. But most of all, it’s cool because the entire reference design […]
This instructable will show you how to make an RC launch system for your Estes rocket, which can be operated with a TV remote. What it does is it allows you to press the center button on your TV remote, and it’ll automatically launch your rocket. In this way it is basically a wireless version […]
A quick introduction to the Arduino Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling […]
Throwies are great. They have a minimal parts count – 2 or 3 depending on whether you use a magnet – and produce a great effect. They are very cheap and easy but not highly efficient: 1) They are on all the time, so on average they waste half of their energy shining during the […]
I have been researching a project which will help me with my understanding of electronics, networking, and programming. I decided to build an online thermometer which could be used in applications that need temperature monitoring. I currently work in a lab environment where I test, troubleshoot, and calibrate equipment which is installed in nuclear power plants […]
