This sketch blinks the Esplora’s RGB LED. It goes through all three primary colors (red, green, blue), then it combines them for secondary colors(yellow, cyan, magenta), then it turns on all the colors to create white. For best results, cover the LED with a piece of white paper to see the colors blend. Circuit Only […]

The useless alarmed Coke can using Arduino
Hi all! This is the most useless project in the world! It consist in a Coke can attached to an Arduino trough a coaxial cable and two resistors that make a sound when an hand is near it. Step 1: Materials and Tools For make that I’ve used: Materials: -1x Arduino Uno Board (or equivalent) […]
Drive a webpage in real-time using Arduino, SensorMonkey and Processing.js
Remote visualization of real-time sensor data. This tutorial describes in detail how to use the free SensorMonkey service to push real-time sensor data from an Arduino to a webpage for visualization using Processing.js. No server-side coding or Ethernet shield is required. A standard, run of the mill Arduino will work perfectly. You’ll also need a sensor to […]
RC Paper Tank – Bring your 3D models to life
Bring your 3D models to life! In this instructable we will custom make a remotely controlled tank. We will infuse paper-craft with an arduino based system. This tank will be controlled on a android based phone though a bluetooth connection. I’ve strived to create something with a pleasing fit and finish. Remote control is also quite cheap […]
Quality of Life Meter
Harsh new rules at work getting you down? Overtime sucking the life out of you? Or maybe things are great, either way now you can show your co-workers and management exactly how you feel about your job without a single meeting, memo, or team bonding exercise. This is the Quality of Life Meter. Boss take […]
PEZ Robo Dispenser Using Arduino
I was strolling down the candy aisle at the supermarket and there it was: the PEZ dispenser, conjuring up sweet (literally) childhood memories served up by my favorite cartoon characters in squarish sugary pellets. Then, all of a sudden, an LED went off in my head. PEZ meets Arduino. In this age of over-automation, where robots […]
The LED Strip Jellyfish Costume with Arduino & LPD8806 Led Strips
It all started when I saw a BBC documentary in 2002 about deep waters of the ocean. There was a biolimunescent jellyfish in the documentary, probably of the species “ctenophores” that grabbed my attention so in the later years I decided use it as a Halloween costume. It wasn’t until 2011 when the led strips using LPD8806 driver chips […]
Analog In, Out Serial using Arduino
This example shows how to read an analog input pin, map the result to a range from 0 to 255, and then use that result to set the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) of an output pin to dim or brighten an LED. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect one […]
3D Printed Digital Camera
This is a 3D printed digital camera that you can build yourself. By making your own digital camera, it takes away some of the mystery around how such devices work, and are fabricated. Also, it allows you to fully customize the camera to your liking. You can expand the circuit to have new functionality, or […]
RGB LED Skate Light
I like to go skating every week but I noticed that the my skates weren’t cool enough so I decided it was time for some lights! I installed these lights on my Dad’s skates as a thank-you present for taking care of the pool for us :D. Thanks Dad! The project is just two RGB […]
