One of the things I look forward to with summers in Pennsylvania are fireflies in my backyard. I recently taught myself Adruino programming for the purpose of making this simple project. It’s a great program to start with and is easy enough for any programmer, novice to expert, to build, modify and have fun with […]
The brachistochrone curve is a classic physics problem, that derives the fastest path between two points A and B which are at different elevations. Although this problem might seem simple it offers a counter-intuitive result and thus is fascinating to watch. In this instructables one will learn about the theoretical problem, develop the solution and finally build
I designed and built a Geiger Counter – a device that can detect ionizing radiation and warn its user of dangerous ambient radiation levels with the all-too-familiar clicking noise. It can also be used when scouting for minerals to see if the rock you found has Uranium Ore in it! There are many existing kits

In this project, we will be making a benchtop pH meter using the gravity analog pH circuit and probe from Atlas Scientific and an Arduino Uno. Readings will be displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD). MATERIALS 1 – Arduino Uno 1 – Gravity analog pH sensor 1 – pH probe 1 – 20×4 LCD module 1 – 158x90x60mm Enclosure
Laser harps are musical devices with laser beam “strings.” When the beam is blocked, a note is played by the instrument. Usually laser harps have the beams travel vertically in the shape of a fan or vertical lines. In this project, I built a laser harp with stacked laser beams that propagate horizontally. The beams

This tutorial will teach you how to modify your average inkjet printer to be able to print electrically conductive circuits. This technology is fairly new but can provide a faster and safer prototyping option for DIY printed circuit boards. This project also acts as an introduction to the larger field of printed electronics. Step 1:

Christmas is just around the corner and its time to start planning things to lighten up this festive season. Today you are about to see building of Remote controlled lights with adjustable lighting effects using Arduino. The coolest thing about this project is controlling the effects of LED lighting using a typical household Remote and
The Zambroombi is the next step up from your neighbor’s fancy Roomba. Set it and forget it! “It changed my life. I don’t know where I’d be today without it. I used to just have to clean everything once, but thanks to The Zambroombi, I get to clean everything twice!” —Real Zambroombi© Customer BOM: Arduino Uno
