In a previous tutorial we have seen how to run two stepper motors synchronously from a given start position to a defined destination using an Arduino and a very simple “user interface”. That user interface was restricted to some microswitches and LEDs, both installed on a breadboard. As promised, this new instructable shows how to add a […]

In the 1970’s, a psychic named Uri Geller introduced spoon-bending using his mental powers and became famous for it. Well, I don’t claim to be a psychic, but I thought it would be fun to be able to bend a spoon or fork using my brainwaves, and this would be a good first project utilizing

Following the popularity of our self balancing scooter and the SciChair we decided to try something a little edgier, the Self Balancing Unicycle. This project reuses a lot of stuff from our previous projects, using an arduino as the brains behind the scenes. Step 1: Ready your tools Before we begin lets ensure we have

Rafael Fuentes, Carmen María Fuentes and Carmen Pérez decided to create this project that was submitted to ‘Creative Electronics’, a Beng Electronics Engineering module at University of Málaga, School of Telecommunications. The project consists of making an eggbot using an Arduino Uno development board. This project was done for being a good introduction to CNC machines

In one of my previous Instructables, I showed you how you can use a Stepper motor as a rotary encoder. In this Instructable, let’s learn how we can use it to control our computer. So without further ado, let’s get started! Step 1: Watch the Video Watch the above video to get a better idea of

Interested in making a useless box? Building this project was a really fun experience for me. Having very little prior knowledge about circuits, making this simple gadget was a great introduction to circuits for me. And, it’s really fun to play with once completed! This project is meant for beginners with little or no experience
Hi every one, here Chris, and I want to show you how I made my own Arduino AC dimmer that can control AC loads such as motors and lights easily. It has the power to handle 1200+ Watts and It’s a very nice project for domotics and home automation because the microcontroller I used is

{This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com).} Inspired by the Wind powered machines built by “Theo Janse” I’ve come up with a design of my own, but with a twist. This design houses two 12volt motors to provide the power, an Arduino,
