In this Instructable I will be giving you step-by-step instructions on how to interface The Arduino, A Motor Controller (L293D), and a laptop to make a Wifi controlled rover you can drive around your house or work from anywhere in the world. I started and made this project for my Gr.11 Computer Engineering class, it […]
This was my very first arduino project. Its great for beginners. Fade the color or the lights my moving your hands near it. It fades from a pretty purple blue to a firey red-orange. Its was SUPER easy to build, not to hard to write the code, and its really impresses people! I gave it […]
Bring Touch Control to the Arduino. Use interesting touch sensors like Carrots or Beets to make a “Beetbox”. In this instructable you will learn: * How to use the Cap Sense library to make Arduino responsive to touch * How adding a Wave Shield (and some root vegetables), you can make a “Beetbox” Step 1: […]
The PhytoBot is a semi-intelligent plant which responds to external stimulus (light intensity and light location) and responds to it as a phototropic plant would. Essentially it is designed as a piece of interactive artwork for operation over a long period of time. The motivation driving this was triggered by the lack of understanding & […]
Let the world know what you’re eating for breakfast with an 80’s style vocal synthesizer! This project uses an Arduino to send your Twitter stream to a voice generator chip called the SpeakJet. The setup that I use here can also be extended to other applications where you’d want to translate text into speech, some […]
In this tutorial we make an LCD shield for using 20 character by four row LCD modules with Arduino Uno. Updated 18/03/2013 In this article you can follow the process of making another LCD shield for the Arduino Uno or compatible boards. In the past (which explains the word another in this title) I made a 16 x 2 […]
This is an instructable to show how to mount a webcam on a servo in a meccano frame and controlling it via an Arduino board. For a while now I was looking to do something more than blinking LEDs with my Arduino. This idea came to me while Skyping in our morning-meet with my colleagues […]
It all started as a weekend project with my kids and soon enough I got sucked into a 4 month project with their school ! The idea was to get a small group of kids aged 6 to 9 to participate to a robotics contest (http://www.eurobot.org/eng/index.php). It was a fun journey and they did really […]
For science fair this year, I felt like building something instead of doing an experiment. All I needed to do was look around Instructables for a project idea. I was inspired by njkl44’s robotic hand since it reminds me so much of stuff out of science fiction movies. My goal was to create a system […]
Essentially another tutorial involving controlling DC motors. In this post I’m going to first alter a robot arm I had built previously from a beginners kit so that it can be controlled from Arduino. Then I’m going to write a series of posts on different ways to control the robot arm using Processing and other […]
