So my boss came to me one last week and said he wanted to scare the trick-or-treaters who came to his home, and the kids who would come to work during a special Halloween Walk the community does. Thus was born the talking pumpkin. In short, I used an Arduino, an SD card read/writer, and […]
I began this project with the objective of cheaply turning my RC helicopter into something of a UAV or at least to fit some sensors to reduce collisions and other “mis-haps.” Now unfortunately at the beginning of the project i miscalculated my little helicopter’s lift capabilities and so with the equipment fitted it has insufficient […]
Hello Everyone. This is my very first Instructable so please go easy on me. This was more or less a test project to see if my new arduino board worked. Any friendly advice will be greatly appreciated so my future posts can be even better. I am going to show you how to create the […]
Welcome to my FIRST instructable, i will show you how to connect a 16×2 lcd display to an arduino, follow these simple step by step instructions and you will have it done in no time 🙂 Tools Needed : Soldering Iron Wire Strippers Pliers Soldering Iron Flux ( Liquid Or Solid ) Soldering Iron […]
Hey, I am a big fan of Instructables. I have consistently used it for the past 3 years and now its time for me to write one myself.Here we go. This instructable is for those who want to make some inanimate object tweet automatically. Like say for example you are building a robot and you want the […]
This instructable describes how a simple but powerful webserver used for controlling of home appliances can be done. The hart of the circuit is the ATmega328 microcontroller. I have chose this because I wanted to use all available Arduino libraries compatible with them. The Ethernet chip used is ENC28J60. A lot of Arduino libraries exist […]
You’ve bought your first Arduino or you’re planning to get this great little device? Obi Wan would say: “That’s good. You have taken your first step into a larger world.” Same thing for me! Congratulations! You’ll see, as soon as you master the basics, you’ll have so much fun with this little device. There are […]
News: In this latest months I’ve made some important fixes and improvements to the code and to the webserver of the project. See datura_mega_v19.ino for the latest code. The most functional project over internet – Use it as a complete irrigation system for your garden, or use it to control your aquarium, or just to […]
This example shows you how to read an analog input on Pin 0, convert the values from analogRead() into voltage, and print it out to the serial monitor. Circuit: image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect the three wires from the potentiometer to your Arduino board. The first goes to […]
For my project I created a robot with an attached water cannon. My mentor and I built it in a budget of around $300 (not including the necessary equipment), and it functions quite well. For the motors we used drill motors, powered by the 18 volt drill batteries. To control it all we used an […]
