I love collecting and analyzing data. I also love building electronic gadgets. A year ago when I discovered the Arduino products, I immediately thought, “I’d like to collect environmental data.” It was a windy day in Portland, OR, so I decided to capture wind data. I looked at some of the instructables for anemometers and […]
Hey dudes! Lets build the trinity synt! ! More information about the synth at: www.bastl-instruments.com Before you start: the board solders from both sides and the component goes always above its printed sign so it hides the sign! You should know that there are some differences between some of the versions. SQNCR has more buttons […]
EDIT: This Instructable has won Second prize in the 2013 Radio Shack Microcontroller Contest. Thank You to all who voted! This is our very first Instructable and this step by step guide will show you how to build a fully functional electronic replica of the world famous German Enigma machine. This Arduino based Open Source […]
This tutorial shows how to play MIDI notes from an Arduino. MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a useful protocol for controlling synthesizers, sequencers, and other musical devices. MIDI devices are generally grouped in to two broad classes: controllers (i.e. devices that generate MIDI signals based on human actions) and synthesizers (including samplers, sequencers, […]
At the place I work, we use xymon to monitor of our servers. All of the services monitored are important, but we wanted a separate indicator to simply show the overall health of the most critical systems. Furthermore, we came up with the following criteria: We wanted this visible to everyone whether or not they […]
This project is a collaboration between idesigner4 and bhasudha(me), students in the Fall 2012 course Things That Think (CSCI 7000) at The University of Colorado – Boulder. The story of our bug-catching spider automaton goes like this: A giant evil spider resides in a big web. One day an unfortunate lady bug gets trapped in […]
MIT has developed a fantastic visual programming language called Scratch. It is also an amazing learning tool for children, because it is simple, cute, and by providing interaction with the real world by a board called “Scratch Sensor Board”. This Instructable shows the development of a shield for Arduino that can interact with Scratch and replicates the […]
This example shows you how to answer a HTTP request using an Ethernet shield. Specifically, it connects to pachube.com, a free datalogging site. The example requires that you set up a pachube.com account, as well as a pachube feed (for more information on setting up an input feed, please click here). Your Ethernet shield will […]
Many times, we often use LCD as display equipment, from tiny temperature monitors to large industrial equipment. The funny thing in this project is that it combines two Red LED Matrices as display. You don’t need other devices except Arduino to drive it. This project is build for to counting the shipped with wifi support. […]
This game is a homage to Ariadne, the maze-generator from Inception 🙂 If you haven’t seen the movie yet – watch this video again after you do (you can also watch it now – it’s not a spoiler, it’s just funnier for inception-vets). The nice thing about it is that it’s a 1st-person game, so when you […]
