I was googling around looking for some sort of device I could make using arduino and stumbled upon eshop with devices for visually impaired. What really shocked me was the price. I mean-I do realize that such sorts of devices are not really mainstream, but still, it was kinda high. So I decided to make […]

Overview This is a guide to building an Arduino-powered clock that uses LEDs to display a 24-hour clock (hours and minutes) as binary digits, an analog meter to display the seconds, a switch to toggle between time-display and time-setting mode, and 2 knobs for setting the hours and minutes. This was designed from scratch, but

I am new to Arduino and wanted a project which would teach me different things. This got me involved with sound and the use of a LCD. This project is based on the Instructable posted by bertus52x11 which you can find here http://www.instructables.com/id/After-Dinner-Reaction-Time-Tester/ . While I did start with the bertus52x11 project I did make

Does it happen to you to slide your finger across your phone’s screen and turn the alarm off … just because you have automated this task and don’t even need to open your eyes? Well, let me present to you the alarm clock that WILL MAKE YOU: ….. stand from the bed ….. open your

OK, I will admit that I am a little obsessed with things Mayan at the moment, which explains why I wanted to make a Mayan Tzolkin calendar. I modeled the general layout and fabrication on the very nice Sleek Word Clock by scottbez1 which you can see here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Sleek-word-clock/?ALLSTEPS. You can read about the Tzolkin Mayan

There is a saying: “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. Well, when I see a display, I think of clocks 🙂 I will show you here how to easily make a simple digital clock by hacking Meggy Jr RGB. This is an Arduino-programmable device, featuring an 8×8 RGB LED

A 24-hour clock with hour, minute, and second indicators. Here’s the catch, despite being a digital media (LED’s) it is still displaying using an analog method (circles!). I finished making this clock months ago but did not bring it with me to school so I wasn’t able to take pictures and all until now. I

Our goal in this step-by-step instructable is to build a device you can clip to your belt and wear throughout the day. This device will log data that, when downloaded to a back-end server system, will provide a report showing the location history of your day along with the breakdown of how much time you

The watch The Texas Instruments eZ430 Chronos is a cool gadget. It has bidirectional radio communication, and a whole bunch of sensors: temperature, pressure, acceleration.In fact, it is a development kit for the MSP 430 (a low-power microcontroller), that TI packaged as a watch (pure genius!), and delivered with plenty of tools. Its firmware can

We have all seen the sweet videos on the tube! You know the magical water fountains that seems to “freeze” the water droplets in mid air, or even make them go backwards! I’ve been fascinated by these “magical” thingamabobs for quite some while now, and a couple of days ago I decided to make my very
