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

Make a power wheels jeep that is controlled by an XBOX controller. This particular build is using Power Wheels® Jeep® Hurricane with Monster Traction™ but should be usable across many different types of power wheels with small adjustments. I wanted to do this project so I could drive my kids around. They are 2 and 3. We

This project is a part of experiments done while doing an artist in residence at Instructables. You can see the other projects here. Making a plant sing has been a trick since the Theremin was invented. Here I am going to teach you how to do this with and arduino board, a gameduino shield and a the touch shield
Singing plant. Make your plant sing with Arduino, touche and a gameduino Continue Reading
This is a little art project I made with 95 RGB LEDs arranged in a 3D cylinder shape, sitting atop a microcontroller-based driver circuit. The LEDs are individually addressable, and when you power it on, the software cycles through a series of animations, e.g. various moving rainbowy patterns, “rain”, “fireworks”, and so on. It doesn’t

If you haven’t noticed, as soon as you clicked into this instructable, you are now following me if you weren’t already, you Favorited the instructable, and you voted for this instructable in all contests it is entered in. Then the buttons all dissappeared. It’s okay though. If you really want to, you can still go

A friend at work proposed a friendly competition between a few co-workers: to make something cool out of a Trader Joe’s green tea mint tin. Anything – whatever our creative hearts desired. The prize? Nobody cared – we’d figure that part out later. I thought it would be fun to do something electronic with it

This example demonstrates how to turn your Esplora into a customized computer game pad. It uses the analog joystick and the four switches as inputs to a video game. The Esplora will appear to the computer as a standard keyboard, the computer will see joystick movement and button presses as keystrokes. The configuration choosen in

We are students from Singapore Polytechnic. After looking at the famous Necomimi Arduino Cat Ears, we decided to give it a try to help us familiarise ourselves with the accelerometer and the arduino. Using the materials that we had on hand, we managed to produce a set of moving rabbit ears that is similar but

Since you’ve gotten into electronics, haven’t you wondered if there is a fart sensor out there? I sure did. I discovered that if you use a methane sensor, especially the MQ-4, even at very low concentrations, it reads farts. What if you combined that into a hat with an LED Bar Graph and a XBee?
