I’ve bought recently some cheap dual axis magnetic sensors at SureElectronics (http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=944), I’ve tried first to use them as straight compass. Annoying problem : it’s impossible to accurately compensate the tilt of the sensor without using a gyro sensor. On the other end, if you stay on the same horizontal plan, the measures are pretty accurate even

Ah yes. It has been a long time since I posted an Instructable…well here goes: It has been a while since I have been otivated to write an ‘ible. During this idle time I have been writing, rewriting and editing code as well as designing lots of PCBs. For my new ible which I have

After experimenting with Arduino and Processing serial communication i wanted to do something cool. I had some RGB LEDs lying around so i thought about making something with them. I ended up with a strobe/lamp controlled by a Processing sketch that receives the commands from a Hercules DJ Control Steel MIDI controller. It uses 2

Sometimes I just have those days where I really want to make something neat with the Arduino I have lying around, but I know I don’t have the patience for a more involved project that’ll take more than a day or so. This is for one of those days. The premise is as follows: A

This mod uses a custom designed encoder on one of the wheels to track where the longboard is on the ground and light up the LEDs so that the light pattern remains stationary on the ground as the board moves over it. To make doing this instructable as easy to understand as possible, you will

I made this project on the same night that my Arduino Duemilanove arrived from Cool Components. After being an Instructables member for about a year I though it was time I should contribute. There is another Arduino traffic light project similar to this, but it is much more complex; mine is aimed at beginners and

This project uses an Arduino, a pair of speakers, and a laser pointer to create a laser projector able to trace out designs in a dark room. To power it, I’ve cannibalized a PC ATX power supply capable of delivering plenty of current for the speakers. Most of this project was directly adapted from the

In this instructables you will learn how to wire 4 LED’S and make them flash 10 times. This is a great Starter project!! what you will need… 1: arduino (I am using an Duemilanove) 1: breadboard 4: LED’s 10-15: jumper wires 3: resistors Step 1: Adding the LED’s and Resistors1 First put the LED’s on
Arduino 4 led madness Continue Reading
In this instructable, I will show you how to make a simple toy that combination of the LEDs flash and Theremin. We’re gonna using some basic electronics built on top of an Arduino. The basic idea of 7 Segment LED Display was from Enjoying Electronics. The original Enjoying Electronics article is here, you can get

This project is a relatively straightforward and simple DIY music board. The Dot Matrix Board will allow any aged person to create their own music and beats. All you need to have is an understanding of Arduino and circuitry. Step 1: Gather Parts Needed Step 2: Assemble the Board To begin building the board on
