Quadrotors are the new Segway’s: a mesmerizing, somewhat magical, self-stabilizing platform that every tech person wants to have. You can’t ride a quadrotor (well, maybe you can), but they do fly, and you can build one yourself from scratch! I helped with a previous quadrotor build (Instructable here), and after flying it I decided I […]
Need more Arduino board? Do not spend more money for another one. Why not try to build your own DIY Arduino board? It is easy and simple. DIY Arduino Step 1 Get an Atmega328–PU or Atmega328P-PU (with bootloader inside). atmega328p A brief introduction on the Atmega328 chip: 8-bit MCU 32kB Flash Memory 1kB EEPROM 2kB […]
This electronic instrument allows you to sequence and loop audio and MIDI data. Most of the time I use it to sequence drum samples so I can play around with different beats and rhythms. The really great thing about this instrument is that it is very portable, it fits in your hands easily, runs off […]
this is a project which makes an android app, then configure it to use it with android debug bridge or android accessory development kit. for making the android app we use android mode of processing. For hardware, I always choose Arduino. Here I have a Freeduino ADK from embedded market. for the communication since ADK […]
I’m working on an Arduino clone. The Arduino is essentially an ATMEGA328P development board with a bootloader pre-loaded. There are a lot of custom macros built into the programming interface that make it really easy to use, and even easy to build some powerful applications. Arduinos have taken off and can be found everywhere, doing […]
I have loved making projects with Arduinos, but at $30 a piece your projects can get expensive. So I want to show you how you can make your own Arduino from scratch and save money doing it. Make your own Arduino for around $8. For this instructable I show you how to make one on […]
I built this project at at uni as a 3rd year project (with a couple of classmates) at the University of Technology, Sydney.It is aimed at Baby Boomers and targets a skill and level based memory and fine motor skills exercise game. The form is based on Arduino microcontrollers and hardwired with a randomised sequence […]
The Freetronics LeoStick is a handy break-out board for the ATmega32U4 microcontroller. The board has a convenient USB stick format, and is based on the pinout and connections of the Arduino Leonardo reference design for compatibility with the Arduino IDE. Before you plug in your LeoStick for the first time please read this section of the […]
So, I have always wanted a nice lamp by the side of my bed, Something simple with out any buttons. Of course this would mean it had to be wireless. I also wanted to use it from my bed but not getting out of my bed to turn it off. So it had to be remote controlled, […]
Tyree (he wears a tie and he has tires) actually smiles after he bumps into something (see video). Using an Arduino motor shield, he detects obstacles using the “more current into the motor means something is in the way” principle. Tyree started out as a sketch and morphed into a real object thanks to Autodesk’s […]
