I was trying to think of a quick toy I could build for my kids. I came up with this idea of an ultrasonic range finder, an Arduino, and a speaker. Basically the Arduino plays a tone out of the speaker based on the distance from the range finder. The result works pretty well and […]
An interactive coaster that reminds you to drink water. I myself find it hard to reach the daily water intake. I can go on without water for hours when sitting behind my desk. For this purpose alsone, I created a coaster that reminds me to take a drink after a certain amount of time. The […]
This instructable will show you how to create a game using littleBits. The game will start with a sound trigger. Each player will have to press a button repeatedly. The first person to press their button 25 times wins. A buzzer will sound to end the race while the winning machine will do a victory […]
I have created a joystick-controlled car, capable of moving left, right, forwards, and backwards. I created this as I thought it would be a challenging project with a fun and exciting purpose. Supplies Arduino Uno R3 L293D Motor Control 2x DC Motor Servo Motor 2x 9v Battery (or 1 battery and 1 portable USB power […]
So I was a bit bored this weekend (actually I wrote this some months ago) and since I had ordered a bunch of Attiny85 chips the week after I decided to make a quite random project with them. This is a decision box, it takes decisions for you by showing a green or a red […]
To Learn about the basic LED usage practice, read here. What is a RGB LED? With an RGB (Red Green Blue) LED you’ll be able to produce any colour that is flashing everyone’s eyes. At first glance, RGB LEDs look just like regular LEDs, however, inside the usual LED package, there are actually three LEDs, one red, one […]
This is a EASY arduino project that you could create to impress your teacher and friends. This project is an IR sensor-controlled garage door. It uses 2 Servo motor’s to move the garage door into an opened and closed orentation. The inferred sensor (IR) is effective and long range with a range of 1-5 meters. This project […]
But was I really? Something was missing… It’d been a while since I last went to a festival. Y’know, that whole pandemic thing? It had also been some time since my last “personal project” and I was feeling like I needed some “creative outlet”. Several years ago there had been another Mozamboogy, and at that one, I’d […]
Project and Instructable write-up done by Ian Lacy on behalf of the MIT Edgerton Center. In this project, I’ll show you how to build an Apollo 11 clock. The clock has each hour associated with a leg of the mission, and plays an associated audio clip at each hour. Every third hour, it also has a […]
This is a (moderately) simple Arduino project that is a spectacular display from LEDs – that you can wear on your head! It also uses a program that is not intricate at all, so you can modify it for different patterns and cycles. It’s also a great first or second project for people new to […]
