I wanted to have an easily programmable RGB light to toss into a Jack ‘O Lantern for Halloween. Who really wants a dull pumpkin in these days of pumpkin pimping madness. So I set to work building a pocket tin sized RGB lamp that could be reused after Halloween for some other RGBing need. The

The ElectroFried is a game with a shocking fun level. ElectroFried is developed for the Global Game Jam 2011 in Antwerp in design center the winkelhaak. The Team Jekkos/ Cinezaster decided to make a simple game based on colliding electrons. With a nasty side effect, a electro shock. As a input devised I hacked a old

First of all lets get this out of the way… It’s so bad This is going to be showing how to hack the Nintendo Powerglove. By hack I mean tap into the flex sensors and use the buttons and d pad and add anything you want. In my case I added an accelerometer. I got mine from

Is it a 3D Spherical Atmosphere Encapsulated Phosphorous Printer? YES! Is it a CNC Anti Gravity transparent Orb Machine! YES! Its The Bubblesteen Bubble Machine! The spherical miracle that kids and cats have been waiting for. It comes complete with robotic edge detection( when a bubble hits an edge it pops, thus the edge has been detected). Turn

The game Mastermind has been around a long time, and I remember getting a board version with colored pegs when I was a kid. I love this game, as it is solvable simply by pure logic. One player (or a computer/microcontroller) chooses a sequence of colors from a pool of available colors and then the

We are going to make an Arduino control LED Piranha Plant :] Step 1: What you’ll need Arduino Uno 9 Resisters 9 LEDs – Red, Yellow, Orange is best since they need less amperage PIR sensor 9v battery arduino wall plug (you’ll be cutting the connection so that you can connect it to the battery. 12v

Well it’s that time of year again. That’s right, the sun is going down early, and it’s getting hard to avoid logging some miles on your bike after dark. You likely have great lights front and rear already, but what about on the sides of your bike? When crossing intersections, and cruising down those long

I started with the Instructable from Kyle Brinckerhoff; http://www.instructables.com/id/Ardu-pong-the-Arduino-based-pong-console/ Thanks Kyle! and the following at Make magazine http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/08/arduino-pong.html and I see the original code is attributed to Pete Lamonica Thanks Pete!! I am using the paddles instead of the joy stick and I have made it for 2 players. Also I added some sound. I

Important notice: Final (i.e. relevant) version is at the last step of this instructable. If you want to build a Simon, that is the recommended version. The rest of the steps show how this evolved from a bare-bones game for LED 13 and Serial (i.e. zero components) until my mail order came through 😉 Each

This instructable builds on top of the Geiger counter triggered LED decorations I made last year. This version powers the Geiger counter from the Arduino (itself now powered from a mains adaptor, so I no longer need to keep feeding them batteries) and the LEDs now fade in and out for a more gentle effect.
