A while ago, as my first microcontroller project, I made a Pong game on a 5×7 LED display, but then nothing became of it. Recently I was given a hard hat as part of a uniform (for an engineering competition) and told to customize it, and remembered pong. In this instructable I will show you …
Temperature Control For Kitchen Appliances using Arduino
In this Instructable, I will step through controlling the temperature of most kitchen appliances. As an example, I will use an old Westbend Poppery popcorn maker (aka. coffee roaster), but these same techniques will be applicable to most hot plates, coffee makers, and waffle irons. This instructable puts you at risk of electrocuting or burning …

Arduino Binary Alarm Clock
This Instructable will show you how to build an binary alarm clock, with a touch sensor snooze button. This is my first instructable and my first real arduino project, I hope you like it! I bought an arduino a while back and I think it’s really nice, but I haven’t really done anything useful with …
Build An RFID Door Lock Using Arduino
I wanted to make an easy and secure way to enter my garage. RFID was the best way to unlock my door, even with my hands full I can unlock the door and push it open! I built a simple circuit with a basic ATMega 168 Arduino chip and a ID-20 RFID reader to control …
Wireless Altoids Display using an Arduino
This Instructable will show you how to modify an Altoids tin for a wireless 2×16 character display. Using an Altoids tin was inspired by the need to have a small yet protective enclosure for a pair of Xbee modules recently bought from Sparkfun.Β I purchased the Xbee Pro modules with external antenna for the extended range …
Fun Sun-tracking Arduino
The Just-For-Fun Sun-tracker Β Β Β Β Β Β Β using the Arduino and two servos. This device, along the lines of the most useless toy, is not so much for function as it is for fun. But as with many things, you can’t spell function without fun! This could easily be modified to rotate solar …
Reaction Time Tester using an Arduino
A month ago I knew nothing about Arduino and now…..my first project! Looking back, this project combines allmost all of the tutorials that I have read in this short period: blinking LED, push button, piezo and LCD display. A useful project for every beginner! I have made this device for some of my friends who …
Kid’s Game to Arduino Enigma Machine
The technology behind Enigma machines and the work done to crack them has influenced cryptography, cryptanalysis, and computer science in general. Β If you’re unfamiliar with Enigma machines, it’s a device that was developed near the end of World War I, then used extensively by the Nazi regime in World War II, to encrypt messages. Β The …
DIY Arduino or The DIY-Duino
THIS ENTIRE TUTORIAL IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON MY WEBSITE AT http://www.theparsley.com/arduino/diy/ To quote the Arduino website: “Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.” I got one a while ago and life has never …
Steering Wheel Drive R/C Car with Arduino
IP Control Car was launched in 2001. I make the similar function car utilizing commercialized products. The concept of Car No.02 is to utilize commercialized products, and I am an amateur in electrical. So, do not blame me that the system is not sophisticated, i.e. servo & speed controller control system and webcam system are …
