At some point most tinkerers and makers have to take the plunge into the real world – the world of suits and dividends and business cards. Without going completely “American Psycho” on your asses: business cards are important. In many ways they are our keys to the business world; the first impression making a massive […]
first of all we would like to thank the organisation and especially the main sponsor, Capgemini, which made all of this possible. This project is a contribution to the first belgian Arduino Jam (2012). During the Arduino Jam 2012, me and two other colleagues put our heads together to build an interactive logo. The idea was to use […]
If you have access to a vacuum former, or have constructed a DIY one to use, simply vacuum form a compact case to house your standalone electronics or Arduino project. I made this at techshop! www.techshop.ws Step 1: Bill of materials Material to vacuum form (acrylic, pvc, pet-g, styrene…) a mold (make one from wood, […]
I’ve had a couple of Cybots as well as the Tom robots for a number of years – every so often they get dragged out and tinkered with. Now is this years turn. I have decided to try my hand at Arduino control of the Bots motors. There seems to be a large number of […]
I built a linefollower robot that could be used in many different ways, and I summed up my project in some steps. To begin with, all you need is the following parts: Step 1: Robot frame Parts List: -Robot frame -Two wheels -Two DC motors How to: I used an old robot frame with two […]
Since you’ve gotten into electronics, haven’t you wondered if there is a fart sensor out there? I sure did. I discovered that if you use a methane sensor, especially the MQ-4, even at very low concentrations, it reads farts. What if you combined that into a hat with an LED Bar Graph and a XBee? […]
Let’s Set Up Your Arduino and Breadboard! Yep, for real: Let’s Set Up Your Arduino and Breadboard! (use the instructions here, or flip to page 12 in your book) Step one: Dig through your kit and pull out your: Arduino Wooden Base Breadboard and Jumper WIres Box Electronic Components Box Step two: Dump your components […]
Someone had seen Peter Penguin or my Instructables on Animatronic Penguin Torso or Animatronic Eyes, and was working on a sculpture. He wanted to animate the sculpture when someone walked into the room and asked if I could do it. I thought about it for a while. There were several differences from my penguin, (no […]
This instructable will show you how to create a multifunction platform with a thermometer, chronograph (count up timer), count down timer, and light display. It is also intended to be a platform for other analog sensors or any other functions you can think of. Multifunction_Digital_Thermometer.zip71 KB Step 1: Gather Materials To build the digital thermometer […]
For my children and technology class, we were challenged to make a product using a Lilypad Arduino. I am currently obsessed with the movie Frozen, so I decided to create something using one of the most iconic characters of the movie, Olaf. I used a blank, reusable grocery bag and created a picture of Olaf […]
