A birdhouse controller for a bird based game, why? I saw this birdhouse in the store and felt instantly inspired! Going from something big and grand with a shortage of time for the school’s deadline to something small and cute. It inspired an entire game around it! It was an interesting project, I learned how […]
Using the Arduino Uno to program ATTINY84-20PU (Newark item # 68T3783). This Instructable shows how to use the Arduino platform to work with physically smaller processors, such as the ATtiny84 (84/44/24), ATtiny85 (85/45/25), and ATtiny2313. This example is specifically for the ATtiny84-20PU processor (Newark item # 68T3783) but can be adapted for the others boards

An affordable Arduino Turntable designed for Time lapse photography. Changing the gearing and code it can also be used for Photogrammetry/3D scanning or Video. The turntable operates on the move shoot move principle in the Timelapse and Photogrammetry modes where the camera is triggered via the sync cable. The electronics can be adjusted based on
I’ve been working on a project that used a 16×2 LCD display and wanted a nice finish that also allowed me to seal against water and other liquids. I also needed impact resistance, low cost and the ability to be changed easily if worn or broken. I considered many different ideas:- 1) A full sheet

Objective: build a monome – a complex electronic music instrument – using easy-to-learn, inexpensive components and a process that’s so easy a kid could do it. Gist: This touchscreen music instrument is essentially 4 parts: MaKey MaKey (or Arduino) Neopixels copper tape cardboard Sound is produced in either Scratch (visual programming language for kids) or
I am very excited to share this project with you because it looks absolutely beautiful and is super easy to make! It’s a NanoLeaf inspired wireless Arduino RGB LED lights project that not only allows you to create any custom NanoLeaf shape you want but also use the same identical segments to create a 4-digit

The Arduino Wireless shield allows your Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using Zigbee. This documentation describes the use of the shield with the XBee 802.15.4 module (sometimes called “Series 1” to distinguish them from the Series 2 modules, although “Series 1” doesn’t appear in the official name or product description). A Simple Example You should be able
Whenever I go to Citi Field with my kids to see the Mets, they go crazy for the Home Run Apple.To me, the Apple is part of what makes baseball exciting for kids. Even though my kids may not watch most of the games, I still enjoy bringing them along. The Home Run Apple started
Now forgive my memory, as this was a few years back now. What started out as a children’s spaceship themed bed, turned into an epic build. Supplies The project started with the purchase of a single mattress. I then walked around the local DIY store and started to find shapes that I thought I could

A few members of the Alpha One Labs Hackerspace do not like the harsh light given out by fluorescent fixtures. They wanted a way to be able to easily control the individual fixtures, perhaps with a laser pointer? I got right on it. I dug out a pile of solid state relays and brought them to the
