Friction can often seem like a ‘boring’ force. Something we are all familiar with from a young age, but friction does a lot more than just make objects slow down – although that is a big part of this project. Friction allows the world to work as it is today. Friction between your shoes and […]

This command-line Python script is a utility to help calculate parameters for timing belt drive systems. A more general discussion of designing with timing belts can be found on the Timing Belt Guide pages. Installation Requirements The code requires a working installation of Python 3 with scipy. For suggestions on setting up your system please see Python 3 Installation.

A key factor when building a pinewood derby car is its weight. The Boy Scouts of America and other organizations specify a weight of no more than 5 ounces. To improve performance many builders will add as much weight (mass) as possible up to that maximum allowable weight limit. What is often overlooked is the

Hey, welcome to my first instructable where I will be helping you create a calculator. It’s basically made up of a 16×2 LCD, with an Arduino UNO that you can use in order to make quick calculations from far distances. I know, it doesn’t make sense right, well I did not have a keypad but

By: Sonya Singh Computer Engineering Step 1: Project Overview Have you ever dreamed of building a 2-bit adder calculator, which can display the results in both binary and decimal? Well, look no further – Through this guide, your dreams have finally come true! Not only will you learn to build the adder, but you’ll also

This instructable builds on top of the Geiger counter triggered LED decorations I made last year. This version powers the Geiger counter from the Arduino (itself now powered from a mains adaptor, so I no longer need to keep feeding them batteries) and the LEDs now fade in and out for a more gentle effect.

This guide will explain the basics of controlling multiple 7 segment displays using an Arduino and a couple of shift registers. This project is ideal for displaying numerical data or managing a set of LEDs. As a beginner, like me, I had no clue on how to tackle this task. After trying out different methods

Arduino Project – The distance calculator I have been playing with Arduino (micro-controller) for about 2 years now and I am becoming more and more passionate about circuits. For those who are not aware of Arduino, check out my article “Arduino – A Guide for Beginners“. Recently, I was testing some new components that I

(Arduino Pro Mini Protoboard Version) Latest Release: http://code.google.com/p/dinocalc/ Development: https://github.com/WeaselJones/DinoCalc This is a calculator without a LCD that tells you if your math answer is right or wrong, without giving you the answer. This instructable will show you how to make this simple math checking calculator using “off-the-shelf” items. [UPDATE: A TUTORIAL SHOWING HOW TO

This project brings back the old time Analog VU Meter, with the added functionality of a neat looking clock! When you turn off your music the meters automatically swing into to clock mode. Behind it all is the popular and easy to use Arduino. This is my submission for the Make-to-Learn Youth Contest: What did
