This instructable (entered in the Arduino Challenge contest – you can vote for it above) shows how to make a stripboard Arduino shield for programming either ATtiny45 or ATtiny85 microcontrollers with an Arduino, as per these tutorials from the High-Low Tech group at MIT: Arduino board as ATtiny programmer Programming an ATtiny w/ Arduino 1.0 […]
In this lab you will be using a program to enter a schematic and lay out a printed circuit board (PCB) that will then be manufactured. At this point of the semester you don’t know enough to design your own circuit, so I am giving you one that we will use again later in the […]
Bingo! My granddaughter enjoys playing Bingo, so I went out and bought her a cheap set at a local discount store. The cards and the markers are fine, but the spinner disk for selecting the numbers is a piece of garbage. It flew apart about ten minutes into the first game. True, I could have […]
The goal of the project is to come up with an affordable yet generic vibrotactile feedback device to be used for educational purposes. A chemistry learning environment is developed to demonstrate a specific application of our device, in which users can manipulate ions and feel the corresponding electromagnetic attraction and repulsion forces through the vibration […]
The Solar Powered-Bird Proof Squirrel Feeder w\ Camera will allow squirrels to retrieve seeds, nuts, and corn kernels without worrying about those pesky birds stealing all their food. While your squirrel enjoys the spoils of your feeder, you’ll enjoy lovely digital photos to entertain and impress your friends, family, and fellow squirrel lovers. This environment […]
This instructable will show you who to build a rgb lighting system with an Arduino. You can also control it with an iPod/iPhone/iPad using touchOSC. In my previous instructable I showed how to control one rgb led in this you can control heaps with a single chip the ULN2003A. Step 1: Parts You will need […]
Goals Understand the Analog Signals and use your knowledge to program your Arduino and let it play music Get known of the Seven-segment display and use your Arduino Board together with the Shift Register to control the number. In the Second Week you will be asked to implement a circuit to combine these first two […]
Ever wanted a robotic liquor server? I purchased a Lynxmotion robotic arm last year and an Arduino (deci) to play around with. I had it serial controlled with a joystick and it was a great way to start in robotics. More recently I wanted to take on another micro-controller related project for a university science […]
Finalized Prototype Shown below is the finalized prototype. The purpose of the prototype was to demonstrate the feasibility of a small, highly maneuverable search and rescue robot. As such, the completed prototype was successful. Capabilities include a ground speed of 10 inches per second, battery life of 50 minutes, wireless range of between 50 and […]
In this instructable I will show you how you can make your own Atting programming shield for the arduino and then use the arduino as a programmer. Usually If you don’t have a shield you can do a breadboard version to program the ATtiny. (Step1) But here I’ll show you how to program it and […]
