arduino Using the Sparkfun Motor Driver

Using the Sparkfun Motor Driver 1A Dual TB6612FNG using Arduino

As a beginner myself, I struggled to find a one-stop set of instructions to get up and running with Sparkfun’s Motor Driver 1A Dual TB6612FNG.  This motor driver breakout board is exceptional value, is beautifully small, but does need a little more effort to get it working. The TB6612FNG is an H-Bridge driver – I […]

Motion Controlled Robotic Arm

Motion Controlled Robotic Arm

This instructable is not complete, I will post code soon The Arm: This instructable shows the process of building a robotic arm using servos, Arduino microprocessor, a gyroscope and multiple bend sensors. The user wears a glove containing the gyroscope and bend sensors which translate the movement of the users hand into motion of the […]

Arduino for traffic lights

Arduino traffic lights

I made this project on the same night that my Arduino Duemilanove arrived from Cool Components.  After being an Instructables member for about a year I though it was time I should contribute. There is another Arduino traffic light project similar to this, but it is much more complex; mine is aimed at beginners and […]

RGB flashing iPod dock from an old speaker

RGB flashing iPod dock from an old speaker

Using an Apple Pro speaker, I made a flashing RGB LED iPod dock for about $35. I recommend reading the entire ‘ible before starting. Also, note that the volume is control from the iPod. It consumes minimal power in shutdown mode, and is controlled by a Teensy. This took me ~3 days to build, and […]

Arduino 8 Bit Waterfall

An 8-Bit Waterfall using Arduino

So far my Arduino projects have all needed only a small number of output pins. In a previous post I talked about moving some of the logic off the Arduino and into other integrated circuits in order to free up pins on the Arduino. While this can help, I’m sure there will come a time […]

Vibration Foam Speaker

Vibration Motor Foam Speaker Using Arduino

Concept: Very simple, using an Arduino and the play melody basic program, create a music playing speaker out of a vibration motor and a piece of flexible foam. Instead of pulsing signal to a speaker, signal is pulsed to a motor varying how fast it can spin and when it spins. Science behind it (this […]
