This is a simple Arduino sketch that was originally designed to experiment with arrays and the built-in timing functionality. I based it on the tutorial sample code http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Knock The system consists of a piezo sensor connected to an analog pin that listens for a knock from the user. The Arduino then stores the time the knock […]
This is a tutorial for using the 7-Key Slider/Wheel Breakout from Rachel’s Electronics. I’ll show you how to solder up the header pins for maximum usability. Rachel’s has the QT1106 datasheet on their site, and a great arduino library for this breakout. The kit from Rachel’s Electronics comes packed with cool stuff: QT1106 breakout with […]
These are step by step instructions for assembling the 8×8 LED Board kit from moderndevice.com. I had never played with LED displays before using this kit. I suggest reading through all the assembly steps BEFORE starting to solder because assembly order DOES matter with this kit. Overall, this is a very simple assembly. It does […]
Can you believe that we live in an age where you can touch an object (any object – if it has metal on it) and a light will turn on in your loved-one’s space – even if they live in a different city, state, or country!? You could tell your loved ones or friends when […]
Although it is great controlling the robot arm with computer or mobile phone, I think using joystick is also cool, so I’ve bought a joystick shield and make a new project. This joystick shield is compatible with Arduino. It also support Nokia 5110 LCD module, nRF24L01 wireless module and Bluetooth module. It should be fun […]
Designing a Mini BillBoard using LED Lights(different colors) , Arduino and Bread Board. Thought of creating a mini billboard, that could display my name (“Josh”) . This is for one of the build nights (required us to use LED lights). This billboard would blink in out josh several times just like any big billboard. Here […]
Good day fellow enthusiast! Here is one of my latest and simplest shield designs for an arduino board. The thing here is, sometimes we have a hard time checking out which I/O pins are LOW or HIGH, especially when we are dealing with LED, motors, etc. Now, here is one of the solutions that you […]
The synthduino is a fun Arduino project to do and as a beginner it is a great way to learn new things about Arduino’s many features. With only using household items to build the synthduino you will be satisfied with the finishing project and feel accomplished. the synthduino uses the six potentiometers on the controllers […]
Build a unique personalised gift that’s cool and reflects the character of the recipient. What’s different about this Word Clock is that it is small enough to sit on a bedside desk, displays the recipients name and has personalised messages that appear at different times ie. Happy Birthday, Carpe Diem, Good Morning or whatever you […]
Sure you can use LDR’s, potentiometers and buttons to generate sounds, but what about strings? When I began thinking about an Arduino string instrument, I realized what I wanted to create was a soft potentiometer. I found my inspiration from Hannah Perner-Wilson’s Fabric Potentiometer http://www.kobakant.at/DIY/?p=543. Step 1: Parts Step 2: How it Works Each string is […]
