This instructable describes how to upgrade your globe to a motorized version. It looks amazingly better on the shelf when it is slowly rotating, and any demonstration with your kids (to explain the day/night cycle or the seasons) will gain in interest. No need to rotate the globe by hand while painfully holding the flash […]
Nothing is worse than loosing the controller that came with your remote control car. Replace that sucker with an Arduino and the one remote that always seems to be around, the TV remote! Step 1: Materials The materials for this project are pretty straight forward. You’re gonna need… – A remote control car. The one […]
When I’m building Solar Shrubs and other solar-powered creations, I often scavenge cells from various off-the-shelf devices such as solar garden or security lights. But these cells are rarely labeled as to their voltage, current, and power output. So it’s off to my bread-boarding station. First, I put each cell under a lamp and connect it to my multimeter to get […]
ENGLISH VERSION HERE Dans ce programme nous allons voir comment capter une température et afficher sa valeur sur un lecteur LCD en choisissant si on veut l’afficher en°C ou °F grâce à une télécommande infrarouge. Dans ce tuto j’utilise: -Une carte SainSmart (similaire à Arduino UNO) -Un lecteur LCD QC1602A -Un variateur -Un capteur de […]
“This presentation shows how to easily go from user stories to automated integration tests that themselves read like user stories. You can accomplish this by using custom domain-specific languages. Too often our automated integration tests rely on coding and intimate technical knowledge of our systems, which not only limits who can write integration tests but […]
What does a smart snow globe do? It tells you if tomorrow’s going to be a snow day! Is it snowing tonight? Will you have the day off from school or work tomorrow? Put this snow globe next to your bed when you go to sleep to find out. Then when you wake up in […]
To explain my 4x4x4 interactive LED-cube published before, a bit more clear, I will try to make my first step by step instructable. This 4x4x4 cube is interactive by using the top four corner LEDs both as LEDs and as sensors that will react on light. Depending on what LED gets the least light, the […]
CLICK HERE FOR THE UPDATED INSTRUCTABLE: http://www.instructables.com/id/IR-Rainbow-Cloud-ver-1/ This is a project I created for a Digital Art and Installations class. The class covered basics of several types of programming, and our projects were meant to be an interactive cross between art and technology. This was a fun and easy project with really impressive results (if I do […]
The objective of this project is to build an Arduino voice shield to empower thousands of voice related applications! All this mostly thanks to an integrated ISD1790PY chip. This particular voice/TTS feature can be useful to integrate voice messages in alarm systems, to implement generic I/O controls in home automation or even in home security […]
The world’s first completely open-source Bitcoin ATM for Education and Experimentation. http://openbitcoinatm.org for more information. Step 1: Fabricate Box and Faceplate Out of a piece of 12″x12″ aluminum sheet metal, cut two rectangles and drill six rivet holes and four holes to attach the bill acceptor. Cut aluminum angle into two 11 1/2″ lengths. For each […]
