I have been spending the last few months doing research into biologically inspired robotic structures. While my approach may seem formalistic in nature, these devices were simply a means for ultimately conducting social research. This desire stems from my experience building Simple Bots, and their subsequent display at multiple Maker Faires. While displaying these robots, […]
This is a project that I quickly made one night because I wanted to ‘clap’ to turn off and on the light in my room! I have a small room for myself, so I basically have no other noise around. So, I was able to use an amplifier, which finds the value of the sound […]
Arduilay is an 8 channel AC relay box for use with Arduino, Max/MSP, Processing, etc. I designed this system as an alternative to the USB>DMX 4 channel relay option. While DMX gives you dimming control, the setup is easily 5 times as expensive as this simple relay box. Step 1: Get all the parts To […]
Sous-vide cooking is a great new way of cooking food. I will not explain why and how it works here… for great recipes and explanations, you can check out those guys : http://modernistcuisine.com/2013/01/why-cook-sous-… Unfortunately, a good (and I mean precise to the half °C) sous-vide machine is very very expensive (500, 1000$ or more). If […]
Let’s make a simple inverted balancing robot, and operate it. You need only half a day to do them, if you have an arduino and some materials. [a video of a robot you would make] introduction: After a few work with arduino, I have thought of making an inverted pendulum. Then I had two policies […]
A motion sensing soft-circuit interface. The following instructable will guide you through the construction of your own personalized Nama Instrument. I’d love to hear some feedback. Hope you like it and it serves you somehow! : ) Access http://www.viraseres.com/nama to download the project’s open source files and access the full description of the project. INTRODUCTION: […]
Hi there, You’re going to transform any RC toy car into a big message writer that can be used to transform your city squares into witty messages, political statements or beautiful drawings, and for less than 20$. The idea is to drop a trail of powder or paint behind the car to write the message. […]
A medium sized box that requires the user to succeed in a game of hang man in order to gain access to the contents of the box. Great gift Idea!!! my Arduino sketch will be included in this instructible sorry for the poor quality pictures! and keep in mind this is my first instructable, and […]
Conducting energy through people to stimulate tangible public interactions http://ijustwannaholdyourhand.com/ http://vimeo.com/56350598 What did we do? We put together an Arduino, some wire, a Mac mini and a DLP Projector, then created a pair of hands out of aluminum. We additionally 3D printed some wall plates that resemble light switch plates, but instead of holding an […]
Hi everyone, Lucy Matchett, Nicole Yi Messier, and Joselyn McDonald (Snax_and_Macs) made a remote flower-watering device so you can water your loved ones’ plants when you water your own. We used Arduinos, a photoresistor, a servo, Arduino and Processing sketches, Spacebrew, and a little elbow grease to put it all together. We’ve posted the instructions, […]
