This is what came out of my attempt at combining some of my favorite tools and themes…Grasshopper, 3D printing, kinetic motion, and linguistics. I put these gloves on my friends, asked them to tell me a story, and used Grasshopper to record the data from their hand gestures. While these gloves are far from precise […]
Projects
Pneumatic Inverted Pendulum
Construction Mechanical structure Compressed air comes from air compressor and goes in the proportional valve. Coming out from the proportional valve, there are two branches of air flow (one is compressor air, the other one is exhausted air) which connect to the air cylinder (pneumatic actuator). The pneumatic actuator connects to a cart (the aluminum […]
Arduino Robot With PS2 Controller (PlayStation 2 Joystick)
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use a wireless PlayStation 2 (PS2) controller and an Arduino Uno pilot a robotic tank. Story An Arduino Uno board was used at the core of this project. It receives commands from the wireless controller and sets the speed of the motors. Other development boards might also […]
Make your own TV ambilight using Arduino
This is a very easy project. Here is the result I won’t go into too much detail how each part works, because I have written some information on my blog. But you should be able to make it work with the information given on this instructable. Step 1: Prepare RGB LED strip The RGB LEDs […]
How to Build a Midbar ESP8266 Version
A while ago, I made the ESP32 version of Midbar which later evolved into a multi-user Cipherbox. While developing the Cipherbox, I realized that even the Lite version of it might be too expensive and too redundant for some people, so I “resurrected” the single-user Midbar project and made an ESP8266 version of it. The purpose of Midbar is to […]
Programming an ATTiny13A using Arduino & servo interpreter
So there I was, browsing eBay, looking for some cheap deals on Atmel chips when i came across a pair of ATTiny13 chips for £2.50. I just had to have them! After all, how hard can it be? I needed a small chip to read servo signals from a hobby RC Receiver and control a […]
Retablillo de las Maravillas v1.0
4./ Interactivity & electronics 4.1/ Switches / characters 4.2/ Screen / interface 4.3/ Motor controller 4.4/ I/O controller & interface [4./ electronics] [4.1/ switches / characters] The characters on top of the moving platform function, as interfaces, actually as on-off switches. While standing in its position on the platform that keep a switch on. Once […]
How to control a Servo using Arduino
In this one, servo is programmed to be controlled by two buttons, one turns servo to the left and the other one turns it to the right. When the servo is turning, corresponding LED will be switched on to indicate the operation. Result: Because Arduino has built-in library for controlling servo, which makes servo a […]
IoT Using ESP8266-01 and Arduino
Ever asked how to control any device from any place in the world? In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to control things wirelessly over WiFi. Story Introduction Today, we will build a device that connects to the internet and allow the user to control his/her home remotely over wifi. We will use the Arduino board(any […]
Desktop Fist Bumper using arudino
This simple device sits on your desk at work, ready to give you fist bumps throughout the day as you need them. A 3D printed “fist” is moved by a servo attached to a rack and pinion mechanism. An ultrasonic range finder detects when you place your hand near it, and an Arduino Uno controls […]
