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. […]

I call this project “The Motivational Moody Workout T-Shirt” . Basically what I wanted to do was a t-shirt that makes you want to get out in the open and work out. To make that work, I sewed a LilyPad arduino onto a t-shirt and powered it with a solar panel. Then I connected a

My kids wanted to have a head controlled mouse for playing Minecraft – they wanted to move their heads and have the field of view move. I decided that was a challenge I couldn’t resist, so I decided to build a movement controlled mouse using an arduino and a gyroscope chip. Components A-Star 32U4 Micro

This is a project I worked on for my electronics class at Pomona College. Thanks to Professor Dwight Whitaker and Tony Grigsby for their help and guidance throughout this project, and credit to Jonathan Wong for the idea for this project! Also, here’s a list of Instructables I looked at for ideas/inspiration while working on

So what exactly is a PIP-Boy, you ask? For those unfamiliar, a PIP-Boy is a device used by the protagonist in the popular Fallout series of video games for navigation, radiation detection, data storage/playback, and inventory management. Being a major fan of the franchise, I decided I wanted to make my own version, but no

This instructable will teach you how to build your 4x4x4 LED cube with Flower ProtoBoard and control by Arduino. Why is Flower ProtoBoard ? not ProtoBoard ? Because of I often use protoboards to test out if a new idea works in practice. I do not use breadboards anymore because I pretty much use only smd parts

The synthduino is a fun Arduino project to do and as a beginner it is a great way to learn new things about Arduino’s many features. With only using household items to build the synthduino you will be satisfied with the finishing project and feel accomplished. the synthduino uses the six potentiometers on the controllers

My questions for the Make-to-Learn Youth Contest 🙂 What did you make? This goal of this project was to take commonly available electronic equipment and create an inexpensive, self-controlled vehicle. In simpler terms, this is an attempt at basic autonomy. It uses an arduino logic board coupled with a cheap remote control car along with

The Origin My dad is a musician. He can play a multitude of instruments. However, he only has two arms, BUT he also has legs! That’s when we decided that we would reuse the foot pedals from an old organ and convert them into an arduino powered MIDI keyboard. Now he can easily play electric
