UPDATES Feb 20, 2013: In response to a question by student Hala Abuhasna if you wish to use the .NET Serial class, use the naming convention “\\\\.\\COMn” and replace n with a number > 9 to define your com port for COM ports above 9 such as COM10, COM11, etc. Mar 23, 2012: Featured on […]
Many, many years ago – when I was young – I visited the Evoluon in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. At that time it had all kind of technical stuff you could see and you could play with. Nowadays it does no longer exists in that form since the Evoluon has changed into a conference center. One […]
OK So my third Instructable and here we’re dealing with another Sonoff device, the original Sonoff WiFi smart switch. Theses devices are again based around the ESP8266 and are easily hacked. The devices can switch up to 10A @ 240V so are ideal for switching lights, TV’s, games consoles etc. Please don’t try running a […]
Disclosure: This project operates the ATmega328-P-PU outside the published ATmel specifications: According to ATmel, the 328P requires slightly over 3.3V to reliably start the oscillator at 16MHz and to otherwise perform acceptably. Lab testing here at SofKinetics has shown that the ‘board-duino’ 328P-PU can withstand below freezing and above 130F temperatures and that the 16MHz […]
Introduction We aim to introduce young students to engineering and teach them about solar energy; by having them build a Helios as part of their curriculum. There is an effort in engineering to push energy generation away from the use of fossil fuels and towards greener alternatives. One option for greener energy is to use […]
The Internet of Things has brought a lot of formerly complex device applications into the homes of many craft brewers and wine makers. Applications with level sensors have been used for decades in large refineries, water treatment plants, and chemical plants. With sensor prices falling, now both industrial and DIY can monitor the volume of […]
This is Tahir Ul Haq and introduces you to another member in the family. This time the project is named as Weather Monitoring System. This is another TIVA based project presented by students of UET LHR. Weather monitoring plays an important role in human life, so the collection of information about weather changes is very […]
I made this box for my music project to our school. This is only tutorial for the box, no for playing melody. It´s based on serial connected switches. You will need: Some wire 6x switch 1x LED 1x 330 ohm resistor 5x 2000 ohm resistor (etc.) 1x 10 000 ohm resistor 1x plastic box small […]
Hello, and welcome to my instructable for a washing machine countdown timer. The timer is operated with the very popular Arduino micro controller. See here for more information. Arduino Home Page Aim The aim of this project is to be able to delay the start of the washing machine by a few hours. This is […]
Use a Classic Nintendo controller to lock and unlock your door! The output from the Controller is read by an arduino and it looks for a particular combination of buttons, once the combination is entered it sends a signal to eject a Cd-Rom Drive which pushes or pulls the lock. I started making this project […]
