The Bass Master 3000 is a game that I built for a work carnival along with a small and very talented team of co-workers. I’ve seen this type of game on the net, but I wanted to kick it up a notch with some Arduino powered sensors that would trigger lights and sound when someone …

The most common method to drive DC motors in two directions under control of a computer is with an H-bridge motor driver. H-bridges can be built from scratch with bi-polar junction transistors (BJT) or with field effect transistors (FET), or can be purchased as an integrated unit in a single integrated circuit package such as …
Servo Cable The continuous rotation servos that come with the BOE Shield-Bot have a 3-wire cable for connecting it to the power and controller. The black wire is the ground, the red wire is the power (positive) and the white wire (sometimes yellow, depending on the servo) is the signal wire. The signal wire is …
This is what came out of my attempt at combining some of my favorite tools and themes…Grasshopper, 3D printing, kinetic motion, and linguistics. I put these gloves on my friends, asked them to tell me a story, and used Grasshopper to record the data from their hand gestures. While these gloves are far from precise …
Construction Mechanical structure Compressed air comes from air compressor and goes in the proportional valve. Coming out from the proportional valve, there are two branches of air flow (one is compressor air, the other one is exhausted air) which connect to the air cylinder (pneumatic actuator). The pneumatic actuator connects to a cart (the aluminum …
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use a wireless PlayStation 2 (PS2) controller and an Arduino Uno pilot a robotic tank. Story An Arduino Uno board was used at the core of this project. It receives commands from the wireless controller and sets the speed of the motors. Other development boards might also …

This is a very easy project. Here is the result I won’t go into too much detail how each part works, because I have written some information on my blog. But you should be able to make it work with the information given on this instructable. Step 1: Prepare RGB LED strip The RGB LEDs …
LED Cubes are awesome. The first one I created was a 8x8x8 blue led cube. It still works like a charm. But being able to display every colour in the spectrum is much more spectacular. Let’s start with a small and simple 4x4x4 RGB LED Cube. Step 1: Watch part 1 of the video series! …

A while ago, I made the ESP32 version of Midbar which later evolved into a multi-user Cipherbox. While developing the Cipherbox, I realized that even the Lite version of it might be too expensive and too redundant for some people, so I “resurrected” the single-user Midbar project and made an ESP8266 version of it. The purpose of Midbar is to …
So there I was, browsing eBay, looking for some cheap deals on Atmel chips when i came across a pair of ATTiny13 chips for £2.50. I just had to have them! After all, how hard can it be? I needed a small chip to read servo signals from a hobby RC Receiver and control a …
