This is a funny project that makes our plants “talk” to us. It’s very simple and you can create it in few hours. We use a sensor to read the soil moisture of our plant and a led matrix to dislay how the plant “feel”. You can use an ATtiny85 as a microcontroller. Step 1: […]
How often do you ever forget to feed your fish? Well, for me I don’t forget that much. I just couldn’t go out town for a couple of days and also be ridiculous if I should bring my tank along. When I won a Sparkfun RedBoard from Sparkfun Analogy Contest, this was the first project […]
This was originally going to be a tutorial on how to hook up a pumpkin to the internet so that the lights inside it could be controlled via twitter, text message, motion or more. To get started I carved a pumpkin for the first time in 20 years. Needless to say I was proud of […]
Description This little project makes a great ornament to hang in your window at Christmas time. It is a 20″ wide star with 50 “neopixel” leds around the perimeter. Each led is individually addressable and it is controlled by an arduino device which can be programmed to sequence the leds in various patterns. Depending on […]
Quick and simple start guide for using and exploring the Flame Sensor module with an Arduino. The model in the example I am using is from Deal Extreme [DX] and can be found HERE. (The instructable for the Rain Sensor is now available!) Materials needed: Flame Sensor (model with an analog out) Male to Female […]
Are you tired of having a hard time trying up a circuit on a breadboard because your arduino takes up a lot of space? This shield can be a solution to your problem! The Arduino breadboard shield is again, an accessory for your arduino board and can make your life easier when trying up circuits. […]
In this instructable I show you how to build remote control tank with FPV camera. At the beginning I build only RC tank without FPV camera but when I was driving it in the house I have not seen where it is. So I came up with that I will add to it the camera […]
Lighthouses have been guiding boats to safety for thousands of years. One of the earliest and most notable of these was the Pharos of Alexandria. This huge structure stood for nearly two thousand years. When deciding on a lego project, I wanted to build something practical, yet at the same time fun. Although I won’t […]
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make a 4x4x4 LED cube for around $15.00. The cube has 64 green LEDs which make up it’s 4 layers(positives) and 16 columns(negatives). These are all wired to a Arduino Uno. An Arduino is a single-board microcontroller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments […]
In this Instructable I will show you how to make an Arduino calculator that is just as good as any other calculator (well… sort of). Even though it’s probably not practical due to it’s size, repetitive use of the equals button (due to the lack of keys), and cost (You can probably buy a calculator […]
