This is a step-by-step on how to connect Arduino to OpenFrameworks using Spacebrew. More specifically our project focuses on the awesomeness of Capacitive Sensing to alter OF projections to create an awesome tactile experience! What the process will involve: Arduino -> Processing -> SpaceBrew -> OpenFrameworks What you will need: Software: Arduino Processing OpenFrameworks Capsense […]

Arduino Personal Soundtrack Hoodie
This was inspired by Raj’s personal soundtrack shirt in Big Bang Theory S3, E16, “The Excelsior Acquisition”. You can now buy them online but it’s much more fun to make your own and it’s possible now that buttons designed for use in electronic clothing are available from Connectedwear. Nine of the buttons on the Connectedwear […]
Charliexplexed LED Clock – Arduino
One of my clocks stopped working – and it happened to be a clock my wife likes a lot. Went to the repair shop and the guy said that he didn’t have the spare parts and could not repair this. So – I thought – why not build an LED clock – I had tons […]
Arduino Cat Detector SD Card Logger
I used: an Arduino Uno a Parallax PIR Motion Sensor and a Seeed Studio SD Card Shield Arduino, shield, sd card, logging shield, storage, logger Check out This instructable on PIRs in case you didn’t know what it is: http://www.instructables.com/id/PIR-Motion-Sensor-Tutorial/ Step 1: Connect your PIR Sensor Hook up the PIR Sensor Ground pin to Ground […]
Physical Computing with Arduino
Digital pins 1-7 are generally used as input pins and Digital pins 8-13 are used as output pins. Digital pins 9-11 can be used as analog output pins. That is, they can send they can send signal of variable voltage. 5/15/2012 Getting started with Arduino. I have skimmed through the “Getting Started with Arduino” and […]
Pi…In A Single Digit using an Arduino
Ah yes. It has been a long time since I posted an Instructable…well here goes: It has been a while since I have been otivated to write an ‘ible. During this idle time I have been writing, rewriting and editing code as well as designing lots of PCBs. For my new ible which I have […]
Printer to vinyl cutter hack
Vinyl cutters are used in the sign writing industry, and are great for making stickers, signs and graphics. I would like to thank Instructable members silverjimmy and Groover for their fantastic laser cutter instructables, without which I would not of been able to complete this project. My idea is to take an old printer and […]
Auto reset stuff with Arduino
Have a problem with my wireless bridge. It works for a some time then, despite it saying everything it fine, refuses to connect wirelessly. All it needs is to be turned off and on again and it works again (for a while!). I decided that what was needed is some form of circuit to reset […]
Automatically water your small indoor plant using Arduino + pump
Have you ever wanted a little plant to brighten up your desk or home, but you’re afraid that you’ll forget to water it? Fear no longer! Using an Arduino, a scavenged wall-wart, and a peristaltic pump, you can set up your plant to be watered as often as you like, from a jug or any […]
Solar Module Using Either Arduino UNO or TI Launchpad
This page maintains the necessary documentation (hardware & software) for recreating the Solar Hardware Module (“Solar Module”) using either Arduino UNO or TI Launchpad. Prior to creating the solar module, we performed several experiments using a custom built solar panel fixture. For more information on the solar panel fixture, see link below. Solar Panel Fixture […]
