Introduction We built a video game system that can play either Snakes or Pong. We saw a project called “Arduino Pong” and wanted to recreate it with our own twist. Description Parts Needed: Arduino Uno Video Game Shield 2 LEDs 2 non-latching push buttons 2 Wii Nun Chucks Plenty of Wires Resistors Plexiglas and plywood […]

The laser harp is a musical instrument made of light. A fan of beams shoots up from the floor into the night sky. The performer can create music by placing their hands in the beams. Not only does “breaking” the beam produce notes, but sliding the hand along the beam will also change the sound.
Magnetoception is the ability of some animals to detect magnetic fields as a means of orienting themselves. Although humans do not seem to posses the same biological mechanisms that allow other animals to sense magnetic fields, there are still many ways that we can improve our sense of spatial orientation. This project is an attachment to
So, long ago I had read about propane fire poofers. They’re pretty cool… I mean, who doesn’t love fire?! But, no matter how awesome, they could get pretty boring after a while of seeing the same large fireball. I never built one because I wanted something that would be exciting and thrilling every time I
Step 1: Check the materials you need. Below is the list of stuff you need to make it: 1. Arduino I used an Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V. You also need USB-Serial tether to program it. 2. A battery box I used a AA x 4 battery box with power line wires. 3. Breadborad I used
Everyone loves the Simon game ! So we decided to take it to another level. This project was done for our Things That Think class where we had to make a PlushBot (a plush toy that thinks! “with computation”) thus, kids were our target.We decided on an octopus that would have all eight arms flashing,
I have always loved the Marvel character Archangel. When my brother, (Shameless plug alert) budding comic book artist David Fernandez, showed me pics of a cosplay convention he went to I thought “wouldn’t it be awesome if someone made life-size archangel wings?”. The idea sank into the depths of my mind and had a death grip on

I built this project at at uni as a 3rd year project (with a couple of classmates) at the University of Technology, Sydney.It is aimed at Baby Boomers and targets a skill and level based memory and fine motor skills exercise game. The form is based on Arduino microcontrollers and hardwired with a randomised sequence

I am twenty years old. I picked up my arduino for the first time this Christmas, and I’ve been keeping busy on my arduino applications so that I can bring you this instructable. I hope that it helps!!! The purpose of this project was to build a stepping stone from remote controlled flight to completely
This has been done before. There are several good ways to do it: most use either a 555 timer chip and decimal counter chip, or an Arduino. Stefan and I used an Arduino (Boarduino, technically) which limited our scanner to 14 LEDs. No problem — 14 gives a nice scanning effect! Here’s how we wired
