first what youll notice my grammer isnt the best 🙂 ok what youll need: 1 transister/mosfet that can handle the current for the water gun motor, this is the one i used – http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10213 – then a diode, i used this one – http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8589 – then a 10k ohm resistor, then a PIR, i didnt use this one but it should […]

Following the popularity of our self balancing scooter and the SciChair we decided to try something a little edgier, the Self Balancing Unicycle. This project reuses a lot of stuff from our previous projects, using an arduino as the brains behind the scenes. Step 1: Ready your tools Before we begin lets ensure we have

I was strolling down the candy aisle at the supermarket and there it was: the PEZ dispenser, conjuring up sweet (literally) childhood memories served up by my favorite cartoon characters in squarish sugary pellets. Then, all of a sudden, an LED went off in my head. PEZ meets Arduino. In this age of over-automation, where robots

Bring your 3D models to life! In this instructable we will custom make a remotely controlled tank. We will infuse paper-craft with an arduino based system. This tank will be controlled on a android based phone though a bluetooth connection. I’ve strived to create something with a pleasing fit and finish. Remote control is also quite cheap
