In the age of mobile phones, you would expect that people would be responsive to your call 24/7. Or… not. Once my wife gets home, the phone stays buried in her hand bag, or its battery is flat. We don’t have a land line. Calling or SMSing to ask for a lift home from the […]
This book clock was inspired by florinc and the impresive selection of clocks like the wise clock3 etc http://www.instructables.com/member/florinc/ My girlfriend likes reading books and there is always a pile of them around the house, however to be able to build this for her birthday present I had to source the book from a second […]
Most of the buttons on a remote control are never used. So why not use them to control appliances and other electronics around your house. In this project, I am going to show you how to use an Arduino to decode the signal from your remote and use it to make an outlet switch that […]
In Part 2 of the DNA Melting Lab you will make revisions to allow greater control of your instrument and to reduce the effects of noise. You will add a pulse-width modulation (PWM) heater controller to enable careful control of the heating and cooling rates of the DNA sample. This will allow you to maintain […]
Electrical Components The electrical components are the five motors and their associated circuits, the buttons, and the thermocouple. The Circuit We are controlling two stepper motors, three servos, a thermocouple, and a set of buttons using an Arduino. Our final circuit diagram looks like this: Building the Circuit 1. Stepper motors: The first step we […]
This lab most recently revamped by Edgar Berdahl and Wendy Ju. Chris Carlson, possibly Bill Verplank, and others have likely contributed. For this lab you need your Satellite CCRMA kit, a laptop computer with Ethernet adaptor to program it, and some headphones with a mini 1/8″ (2.54mm) stereo jack. You are also invited to bring […]
Blast away your friends for hours on end with this custom laser tag system. Who needs to pay to play in an arena when you can make your very own game? Best of all, no special equipment is required, because the “guns” are regular universal TV remotes! Step 1: Parts and Materials This list includes […]
Design: The rotational motion produced by the motor is transformed into linear motion through the use of a standard 1/2″-13 threaded rod as a lead screw. To account for angular misalignments in the rod the motor is not attached to it directly, but rather through a belt and pulley system. The ball bearing screen door […]
In this project I take an Arduino Mini Pro connect it to a custom made Etch A Sketch panel and use it to control a Blacknose laser cutter. The result is hours of crazy laser cutting fun, which we will be taking round most of the UK Maker Faires this year for JustAddSharks.co.uk The Etch […]
¿What questions need to be resolved? ¿How to recognize the origin of the table? — The table is the piece of the machine where you place your board, and is critical for the pick and place operation. I’ve thinking in a limit switch system. Will be the use of the “tglue layer” of the Eagle […]
