Have you ever wanted to impress your friends by saying something crazy like, “I think there’s going to be an earthquake soon” moments before an earthquake hits? Or do you just want some warning, a few seconds that could save your life. This project will allow you to hook up a seismic sensor to a […]

This example shows you how to make a HTTP request using an Ethernet shield. It returns a Google search for the term “Arduino”. The results of this search are viewable as HTML through your Arduino’s serial window. Circuit The Ethernet shield allows you to connect a WizNet Ethernet controller to the Arduino via the SPI

In this project I’m building a physical Twitter client using Arduino and a flag, basically an arduino powered retweet indicator, whenever any of my tweets is retweeted some physical action will happen to notify me of that. You’ll need: 1. Flag. 2. Arduino. 3. Laptop with a java IDE installed on it. 4. Yellow Led

A simple server that distributes any incoming messages to all connected clients. To use, open a terminal window, telnet to your devices IP address, and type away. Any incoming text will be sent to all connected clients (including the one typing). Additionally, you will be able to see the client’s input in your serial monitor

RC cars can be WiFi Cars…? RC cars are cool, but cheap RC cars have limited range and can only be controlled with the particular controller that was included with the car. I purchased a RC jeep, complete with 4 wheel drive, flexible suspension, and off-road tires for about 30 bucks. Not long after playing

In this Instructable we will explain how infrared signals are used by a remote to control a toy or device, then show how a simple circuit can be added to an Arduino to operate the same device through free, Open Source software. This document is part of a series covering the Puzzlebox Orbit, a brain-controlled helicopter that features

Can you believe that we live in an age where you can touch an object (any object – if it has metal on it) and a light will turn on in your loved-one’s space – even if they live in a different city, state, or country!? You could tell your loved ones or friends when
Come Home! Connecting Distant Spaces EASILY over Web using Arduino Continue Reading
Do you remember a game called Tank Wars? This is an attempt to make a physical version of that classic arcade game. You, the player drive an Arduino powered tank and fire a laser at a target. This project uses an Arduino to control a tank through a web page. The tank is driven from a
