A Smapler is a circuit dedicated to the production of generative sound created by David Cuartielles and Ino Schlaucher from BlushingBoy.org. The Smapler v0002 -aka Singapore edition- is nothing but an Arduino shield to be used for playing funky stereo sounds. As an extra add-on the Smapler v0002 circuit includes a PS2 connector for you

The ‘Poduino Case’. A protective case for your Arduino (with breadboard work area): I just received my Arduino Duemilanove and breadboard today. After some careful thought, I realized there is no way this thing could possibly survive daily life on my desk. I saw some great Instructables on plastic cases, and even one that used
This is a version 2.0 of one of my first forays into Arduino and DIY MIDI programming. I’ve developed my skills in prototyping and design so I thought it would be a good demonstration of process and progression. With a more informed design process I recycled the buttons from my first attempt and set off

Every job has it’s routine. I am a software developer who works with a Git/Maven based workspace everyday. So when I start working, my daily routine is to update and build my local workspace, pulling changes from GitHub, execute a maven build and execute the updated software. Usually I get my first coffee after that,

Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is a semiconductor device widely used for switching applications and amplifying electronic signals. While the facility to determine the type and pin configuration of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are available in digital multimeters (DMMs) used in the laboratory, most DMMs do not provide such features for MOSFETs. This

Testing of digital electronic systems generally involves applying a set of test stimuli to inputs of the device-under-test (DUT) and analyzing responses of the system using a response analyzer. If the DUT generates correct output responses (also called the golden response) for all the input stimuli, the DUT is regarded as fault-free. Those DUTs that

There is a wide application of linear actuator where one wants to move something but they do not want to physically get involved in moving it. There are quite a number of ways to control linear actuators depending on the application and the user experience required. These are the key aspects determining the setup and

LCDs are widely used in applications like token-display machines in smalls and supermarkets, order number displays in restaurants and café, and so on. The project presented here demonstrates the working of Arduino based message display on LCD using Bluetooth. Circuit and working This circuit uses Arduino board that accepts data via HC-05 Bluetooth module from
