Let’s say that you’re trying to drive a few Nixie clock tubes, or you want to make a strobe light. A variable high voltage DC power supply from 50-200+ volts may be required. Transformers are terrific, but difficult to find the right one and a pain to wind. Why not use a boost converter? They’re […]
This is a quick arduino project that is great for beginners. Enjoy! There is a video on the last step! Step 1: What you Need To build this project you will need: 10 LEDs, any color will do. Some wire, I used a ribbon cable I had Most importantly, an Arduino Perhaps some electrical tape […]
Hi! Kaeru no Ojisan is back with Car No.06. Car No.06 is a Programmed Automatic Driving Car with following procedure; – Simulate the Car Trajectory based on the Target Passing Points. – Drive automatically as simulated using Reflective Photosensor and Gyro Sensor . – Adjust Car Position to the starting point using Web Camera, after […]
Have you wanted to make a sweet Cylon/Knight Rider (Larson) Scanner effect? But you don’t want to use up all of your Arduino IO pins? Well, you can make a nice 8 LED Scanner with a shift register IC. In this tutorial we’ll be using the 74HC595 8 Bit Shift Register, and this is what […]
The 3D LED Cube is a really cool device that enables you to see in three dimensions, get some depth perception and has 512 LED’s or 512 pixels. It is based on an Arduino Uno which is an Atmel AVR microcontroller on a development board with some standard interfacing pinouts that allow you to quickly […]
The project TiDiGino We developed a new GSM remote control called TiDiGino. The name recalls the initials (TDGxx) of our previous GSM remote control and is also based on the Arduino project. All the details of this circuit can be found below, but no the sketch, because this is your assignment. The contestYou have to write the firmware for this project. The device must perform all the functions […]
We’re going to show how to wire up and control an Ikea DIODER LED strip with an arduino, using a 16X PWM LED Fader board as an intermediary. The 16X PWM board is basically a bunch of mosfets under PWM control (switches that turn on and off really fast) that can be used to mix […]
Secret Knock Description – My final project is a door lock that listens for your personalized knock. The lock uses an arduino board and a piezo speaker and will not unlock the door unless the specific pattern is used as a knock. Arduino Program – /* Detects patterns of knocks and triggers a motor to […]
This project shows how to send SMS text messages to a cheap scrolling LED display via an Android app and arduino with USB host shield. The project was originally inspired by a friend wanting to make a “sexting themed” costume, with a scrolling LED display of live texts sent from people at the party. We […]
