Arduino Gift

Turn your Arduino into the best gift of all

Please vote for me in the Holiday Gift contest and the Make it Glow contest! First, this started out as a gift, and not an instructable. So please excuse some hand waving here and there as I do not have any pictures of the etching and drilling portions. Second, this is for my dear dear wife. Yep, I got […]

Pet Feeder using Arduino

Twitter Controlled Pet Feeder using an Arduino

A great project for busy pet owners.  This Twitter-Controlled pet feeder automatically dispenses food in response to activity on your Twitter account.  The project is controlled by an Arduino and uses the Arduino Ethernet shield to receive data from Twitter.  I hacked this automatic Pet Feeder from Amazon to build this project, but you could

Build a transistor circuit board for controlling Air Conditioner remote control with Arduino

I was supporting a group of student on their graduation project. One of the difficulties they faced was on controlling an A/C unit with Arduino microcontroller. The first experiment we tried to work it out was by record the A/C remote control beam signal for each needed button by using the IRrecvDump code with IRremote

Home Automation (or Robot Butler called Geoffrey) – iPhone controlled, arduino based

Being able to control everything from your pocket has long been a dream shared by many. Previously we’ve had universal remotes that can both control our TVs and radios, then we had wireless wall sockets. Both great things, but how likely is it that you’re going to be carrying around those remotes with you everywhere

Internet Devices for Home Automation

Internet Devices for Home Automation

This instructable shows the principles involved in making devices to control home automation over the internet. We’re going to construct a device (or several of them), that talk to each other over the internet to control lights, motors for curtains/blinds, power sockets etc. In contrast to devices controlled from a web browser or phone, these
