The Ping))) is an ultrasonic range finder from Parallax. It detects the distance of the closest object in front of the sensor (from 2 cm up to 3m). It works by sending out a burst of ultrasound and listening for the echo when it bounces off of an object. The Arduino board sends a short […]

How to Make an Interactive Sound Wave Print
In this tutorial we are going to show you how to make an interactive sound wave print within a picture frame, so you can see and hear your favourite song at the same time! When you touch the print through the glass of the frame, it will play the song shown in the sound wave […]
Piano for Campus School Project With Arduino Nano RP2040 + MPR121
Hi! My name’s Jack and I’m a senior at Boston College studying Computer Science and Finance. This semester, I’m taking Physical Computing with Professor Gallaugher. We’ve been following a flipped classroom model and I made this project utilizing Professor Gallaugher’s Circuit Python YouTube tutorials. For my Campus School Assistive Tech Project, I made a realistic-looking touch-enabled […]
Arduino based Bi-color LED Matrix Audio Spectrum Visualizer
After we came up with the Bi-color LED Matrix Driver Module kit, we have been looking around for interesting projects to work with it. You may be interested in some of the projects we have put up at instructables using this LED Matrix kit. Instructable to build a Arduino (SPI) 7 Bi-color LED Matrix Scrolling […]
Digital Dice With Arduino
Have you ever tried to play a game only to find out you don’t have any dice? That’s not a problem anymore! Now you can create your very own digital dice using LEDs and your Arduino board. This is a beginner-level project. This project will allow you to push a button and randomly generate a […]
Magic Light Capacitance Sensor using an Arduino
This was my very first arduino project. Its great for beginners. Fade the color or the lights my moving your hands near it. It fades from a pretty purple blue to a firey red-orange. Its was SUPER easy to build, not to hard to write the code, and its really impresses people! I gave it […]
LED Flipbookit: full color and brightness control with an Arduino
Step 1: Gather the materials Materials: – addressable RGB LED strip : I used a new variety of three conductor WS2811 strips. – an Arduino : I used a Arduino Leonardo. Any 5vdc Arduino should be adequate. – 4 AA batteries and a battery holder are a nice touch to make it more portable. – […]
Arduino – Solar MPPT Battery & Phone Charger
I always wanted to make a PCB and this is my first professional circuit board attempt. So before you decide to start this project you should know there could be some mistakes or it could be more reliable and compact. This design is not the most efficient and cheapest way to make a DIY MPPT […]
Infinity Mirror Clock using Arduino
Ever since my addressable RGB LED strips (WS2812B) came from Aliexpress, I’ve been fascinated with LED projects. Following up on my success with my Charlieplexed LED clock, I wanted to create something with more Jazz.. While browsing google images, I came across an instructable for an Arduino Infinity Mirror and the brain cells started working […]
Experimenters Guide for Arduino as Performed at OIT
Resources Adafruit ARDX – v1.3 Experimentation Kit for Arduino Experimenters Guide for Arduino (PDF) Bread Board Layouts (PDF) Arduino Tutorial Bundle (Instructable) This Arduino Tutorial is going to be very similar to the Arduino Tutorial Bundle Instructable but because we are working on this in our class I figured Instructables would be a good place […]
