Here’s a retro hand-held gaming console I built with my son. It uses an Arduino micro-controller, a small LCD screen, push-buttons, a 3D printed case and home-grown “PC” board. It’s really pretty easy to solder and put together. My son & I wrote two games and a drawing program for it. See the video for […]

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

This project is part of the Arduino Jam 2012. First of all we would like to thank the organization and especially the main sponsor, Capgemini, which made all of this possible. At the Arduino Jam, during the brainstormsession, we came with the idea to make a classic Buzzwire game, but with some extra features to make it

One day I was sitting behind my desk at work and I got that weird need to build something, after looking around for a bit I got my eye on an LED matrix and that sparked an idea in my head : “I WANNA MAKE A TAMAGOTCHI”. So for those of you that don’t know

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

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

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
