Learning Arduino basics the easy way – Part 01 “Blink” or “The Internet”
You’ve bought your first Arduino or you’re planning to get this great little device? Obi Wan would say: “That’s good. You have taken your first step into a larger world.” Same thing for me! Congratulations! You’ll see, as soon as you master the basics, you’ll have so much fun with this little device. There are […]
Arduino Powered Mushroom Environment Control
This is my first Arduino project aimed at helping me with my other hobby which is growing oyster and shiitake mushrooms indoors. In a nutshell, the controller takes in two temperature readings, 1 Humidity reading and 1 Co2 reading and triggers a set of four relays connected to mains power. Intended to be connected to […]
Arduino Laser Show (adapted from NothingLabs’ Instructable)
This project uses an Arduino, a pair of speakers, and a laser pointer to create a laser projector able to trace out designs in a dark room. To power it, I’ve cannibalized a PC ATX power supply capable of delivering plenty of current for the speakers. Most of this project was directly adapted from the […]
Flashlight tag using an Arduino board
You probably know the game of flashlight-tag. You just run around in the dark on a campsite. You hold your flashlight and try to shine it on one of the other kids, without the other kids shining their lights on you. I wanted to make this game electronic. The Arduino is my first choice, but […]
Build a network clock (NCLK) with Microduino-RTC
The resolvent of clock synchronization over internet. by PKJ, The web−based clock management system allows you to monitor clock status from wherever they are and centrally change settings. and this small device is built with PoE technology, thus IP clocks get their time, data and power from the same network that supports your other IP endpoints. […]
How to make (and connect) a soft potentiometer
This instructable will tell you how to make and connect a soft potentiometer to a microcontroller, in particular we will connect it to a Lilypad Arduino. In our case soft potentiometer means a potentiometer made of a textile conductive ribbon. What you need: 1. soft conductive textile ribbon. The important thing here is that the […]
Arduino 4 led madness
In this instructables you will learn how to wire 4 LED’S and make them flash 10 times. This is a great Starter project!! what you will need… 1: arduino (I am using an Duemilanove) 1: breadboard 4: LED’s 10-15: jumper wires 3: resistors Step 1: Adding the LED’s and Resistors1 First put the LED’s on […]
Making sound (noise) machines using Arduino
As a part of being an artist in residence at Instructables, I took it upon myself to build of couple of noise machines / music boxes. My interest lies in designing objects that would enable people to explore the world of sound synthesis and for me to get a better understanding on how the different […]
Introduction: T.A.B.U. A Robot using Arduino
To all other teens (I’m 16) who have begun to pick up an intrest in robotics and electronics the following project will give you a great user-system to get started with. This is not for complete beginers, but after only 6 months of teaching myself to code and develop robotics I have developed T.A.B.U. What […]
