Hello everyone; I was looking for this project for a long time. Finally I it it together with a lot of effort. For this project you will need: [box color=”#985D00″ bg=”#FFF8CB” font=”verdana” fontsize=”14 ” radius=”20 ” border=”#985D12″ float=”right” head=”Major Components in Project” headbg=”#FFEB70″ headcolor=”#985D00″] 1- Arduino Uno ($30 from Radio Shack) 2- RTC DS1307 (like […]
Nothing puts the fun back into coding like watching your very own creations come to life in the physical world. Luckily, with the current glut of high-tech toys and electronic gadgets on the market, it’s never been easier to experience the thrill of designing your own hardware by modifying what’s already available. A great way […]
Contents Aim To create a device that takes a users input and based upon that input play sounds. I want this ‘synthesiser’ to be simple to play, requiring little or no skill. Therefore, allowing the user to experiment with the sounds they are producing instantly as opposed to learning the technicalities of it first. Research […]
This ible is for the building of my small, almost matchbox size, arduino compatable board. As seen in this ible.. http://www.instructables.com/id/Pocket-Ardiuno-kit/ I experemented with the one in this ible to see how it can be impreoved, but the consept is the same and so is the build to a degree. Origonally made as a pocket […]
Hello, I have plans to build myself a solar powered wireless Geiger counter using a RH Electronics Arduino IDE Geiger counter connected via a serial connection through a logic level converter to a 3.3V ATmega328P-AU Pro MCU with an ESP8266 serial WiFi tranceiver to send the readings from the Geiger counter to radmon.org.I intend to […]
As mentioned on the Contents page, two different hardware platforms have been successfully used to support Mk2 PV Routers. [Update at 7/3/14: Since writing this article, I have developed a new hardware platform which has been specifically designed for this product. The main board has an integral power supply and RF module, and there is […]
In this tutorial you will learn how to communicate with a computer using a MAX3323 single channel RS-232 driver/receiver and a software serial connection on the Arduino. A general purpose software serial tutorial can be found here. Materials needed: Computer with a terminal program installed (ie. HyperTerminal or RealTerm on the PC, Zterm on Mac) […]
I just brought a new lamp and after a week, I’m tired of looking at it randomly change colours between red, blue, green. What can you expect from a cheap lamp brought at 5$ . Looking at the lamp I realized that I could make a Gmail lamp, that shines green every time I got […]
This article describes a simple spectrum analyser for the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi band. It’s based on the Cypress CYWM6935 Wireless Radio Module. Although the manufacturer doesn’t recommend it for new commercial projects, it is still widely available from eBay suppliers and Farnell here in the UK. The module has 1 MHz channel spacing […]
This project uses an Arduino, a pair of speakers, and a laser pointer to create a laser projector able to trace out designs in a dark room. To power it, I’ve cannibalized a PC ATX power supply capable of delivering plenty of current for the speakers. Most of this project was directly adapted from the […]
