Projects
Low Cost, Easy to Build and Use: Arduino Die Toss Simulator
In addition to gambling, dice (die – singular) are used in many board games, e.g., Backgammon, Monopoly, Yahtzee, Liar’s Dice, Dungeons & Dragons, Trouble, etc. Common dice are usually white with black “pips”. They are sometime known as d6 or D6. In this Instructable, the results of a simulated toss of a die (i.e., a […]
Perimeter Wire Using Matched Filter
Do you want to build a robot that is in an invisible enclosure? Or have you wondered how the robotic lawn mowers stay in their garden?In this Instructable I will show you how you can easily build a perimeter loop yourself.This perimeter loop uses a filter named matched filter. This filter allows us to recognize […]
Sensors in Phone and Arduino Serial Communication
Sensors are one of the crucial things when it comes to building projects/robots. Many a times the sensor might be not available locally or it might take too long to ship. Smart phone have most of the basic sensors like proximity, accelerometer, light, magnetometer, gyroscope, etc. embedded and we can in fact use these sensors […]

Cheapest Plug & Play Room Automation Setup
Their are many people who are struggling to make projects that are needed for their daily needs. One of the major example is none other than room automation. Even though many of the room automation setup cost a little bit higher can’t we make it little bit cheaper. Can’t we make it using the Arduino’s […]
Ardubuino (an Arduboy Compatible Clone)
Arduboy is an open source credit card size gaming console that has an active community not only on its software where alot of people develop their own game for the platform but also on its hardware where there are also alot of people came up with their own custom arduboy hardware.

EDISON Radio
This project is bases on the internet radio by Ed Smallenburg. He did an awesome job in creating a working internet-based radio. He shared his coding and hardware on the world wide web so that people like you and me can learn from it. He shared his build on GitHub using the copyleft license. (It […]
