This project will show you how to create a computationally enriched puppet that can detect magnetic fields. The puppet (who I call Compy) has two very sensitive GMR analog magnetic sensors that are located in her beak, these sensors are read by an Arduino Nano that actuates a 3×3 haptic display (Figure 3) based on […]

Simon & Whack-a-Mole Game Using Arduino (also in Tinkercad)
If you grew up in ’80s, most likely you played an electronic toy game called Simon. In this Instructable, I will be building an Arduino kit that you can code to play Simon and other button-based games such as Whack a Mole. I developed this kit to be used by a local Girls Who Code […]
Simple Remote Data Plotting using Android / Arduino / pfodApp
Simple Remote Data Plotting using Android / Arduino / pfodApp This Instructable shows you how to plot Arduino sensor data on your Android mobile and capture it for later downloading to your computer. These instructions are also avaliable at www.pfod.com.au No Android programming is required and very little the Arduino programming is needed. It is […]
Simulating and controlling GE Color Effects Lights with Arduino
Overview This project builds a Christmas lights controller for the GE Color Effects lights allowing programmed control of up to 8 sets of Christmas lights. Furthermore, it provides a function specific language for programming patterns for these lights and an emulation environment for testing the programs requiring the lights to be built or hung. Pre-reading […]
Smart Phone Controlled FM Radio using Arduino and Processing
In this project we will use an existing FM radio which went repair a long time ago, to convert it into a Smart Wireless FM Radio controlled using Phone, with the help of Arduino and Processing. We can convert any manually operated electronic device into a Smart Device using the same procedure. Every electronic device […]
Smartphone LED Controller Using Bluetooth With Own Application
Hello friends welcome back to “Techno-E-Solution” In this video I’ll be going to show you an interesting project “Smartphone controlled LED Using Arduino & Bluetooth with Own developed Application”, I developed this application on kodular app making platform. In this project, we control the LED using a smartphone, for the smartphone to Arduino communication I […]
Capturing IMU Data with a BNO055 Absolute Orientation Sensor
The Bosch BNO055 combines tri-axis accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to provide orientation to users. About the Sensor The BNO055 uses three triple-axis sensors to simultaneously measure tangential acceleration (via an accelerometer), rotational acceleration (via a gyroscope), and the strength of the local magnetic field (via a magnetometer). Data can then be either sent to an external […]
Burning the Bootloader on ATMega328 using Arduino UNO as ISP
I had one remote controlled project that needed an Arduino running 24/7 but I didn’t want to leave my $32 Arduino UNO, so I decided to buy some pieces and created my own Arduino. The most important part was buying the microcontroller. These were my options: ATMega328P-PU with Optiboot ~ $5.50 (Sparkfun) / $5.19 (Digikey) […]
Building an Arduino Robot, Part II: Programming the Arduino
Welcome to the second article in the tutorial series in which I’m building a remote controlled Arduino based vehicle robot. Here is the list of articles I have published: Part I: Hardware Components Part II: Programming the Arduino (this article) Part III: Assembling the Robot Part IV: A (Not So) Basic Robot Firmware Part V: […]
Building a Sentry Gun with Laser Trip Wire System and Arduino
*NOTE* THIS PROJECT IS DONE BY A GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC. Concept: Trigger gun when laser is blocked by intruding object. Note: Tilting is included for expandability but not used in this project. Skill Level: Basic soldering and basic metal works Things You Need: Toy Gun(Any will do, preferably a semi-auto) Continuous Rotation […]
