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 […]

Hi! In this tutorial you will learn to make a mood lamp with Arduino. I know that you may have seen a lot of mood lamp projects with Arduino, but I wasn’t very satisfied with them because they all change the color very abruptly. So, I decided to make a smooth mood lamp and I

This project used the Si470x FM radio receiver and an ardurino to make an over the counter kitchen radio. These parts had been purchased for a different build that unfortunately met a premature end. The concept for this project is simple. Play my favorite news and music radio stations while having a form factor that

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

There are a lot of things this world needs at the moment. One of them is a better mouse trap. Mice are getting smarter every day and if we’re not careful we’ll end up with Planet of the Mice. Luckily, with the help of a Makerbot Replicator 2 (its enormous 410 cubic inch build volume

Top hats are cool; just like bow ties. Not only are they stylish, but they give you a lot of room for incorporating techno goodness. I recently had cause to buy a tuxedo, which necessitated a kilt, and then a top hat. You know how it goes. To the tux I added silver buttons, the

Knock Block: a modern knocking framework Man has long wrestled with Time. Also, with knocking on things and not getting the time of day. We propose a knocking platform through which these fundamental needs are met. This is illustrated with the Knock Block KUI and accompanying Clock Knock Block application. The Knock Block possesses realistic

Project by CU Boulder Thinks That Think students: Michelle Bourgeois, Charles Dietrich, and Ben Link Imagine having a safe in which the combo is any small object of your choosing. Perhaps it’s your favorite coffee mug, or a bat man figurine. This project is based on this idea, using the weight and placement of your

OK, I know that sounds weird, but bear with me for a moment. My Pops really enjoys two things; 1) channel surfing and 2) farting. So one day I was over at http://hackaday.com/ and read about a guy who used his Arduino to turn a TV on and off with one of those brainwave reading
