Getting Started The goal of this project was to create filters and controls to that can manipulate sound that is being generated through an Arduino. Normally Arduino can only generate simple tones that are not useful if you are trying to achieve complex sounds and do sound manipulation. In order to do this project Mozzi […]

This sketch uses the Serial.parseInt() function to locate values separated by a non-alphanumeric character. Often people use a comma to indicate different pieces of information (this format is commonly referred to as comma-separated-values), but other characters like a space or a period will work too. The values are parsed into ints and used to determine the color

Although products are becoming more and more available for monitoring your home power usage, I’m one of those idiots who can’t leave well enough alone and who would rather shell out $100 and hours of my time in order to save $20 and learn something in the process. Building on the fine work of Trystan

This Instructable will show you how to make a Portable Digital Optical Tachometer using an Arduino Uno. This project is inspired from This instructable and is an enhanced version of it with an LCD display and a modified code. Instead of a slotted sensor , it has a reflection based sensor. So : 1. You

Using an Arduino, it is easy to make a speedometer/tachometer for virtually any man-powered vehicle. I made one for my skateboard that used a small magnet to count revolutions and utilized an LCD display screen. This Instructable will show you how you can do the same step by step. You will need a few things

Sure you can use LDR’s, potentiometers and buttons to generate sounds, but what about strings? When I began thinking about an Arduino string instrument, I realized what I wanted to create was a soft potentiometer. I found my inspiration from Hannah Perner-Wilson’s Fabric Potentiometer http://www.kobakant.at/DIY/?p=543. Step 1: Parts Step 2: How it Works Each string is

Working with the interaction design team, a bunch of us at Teague have been tinkering with measuring water, analyzing usage data in realtime to affect behaviors, and storing it to see patterns over time. At the heart of the exploration was a need to cheaply measure water from the tap. Water meters vary quite drastically in price
