Let’s learn how to read a potentiometer, a type of rotating variable resistor, using Arduino’s analog input! We’ll connect up a simple circuit using a solderless breadboard and use some simple Arduino code to control a single LED. So far you’ve learned to control LEDs with Arduino’s output, and you learned to detect a pushbutton’s state (on

Introduction / Why this project In 2016 I build my first fish feeder, see Fish Feeder 1. The feeder worked fine for more then half a year. After that period the servos were worn out, causing the program to halt, without sending an error-mail. Oops. I didn’t had the time to correct this fault, because the aquarium
Fish Feeder 2 Continue Reading
Hi everyone, here it is my new project, a mouse controlled with the movement of the head!I decided to make this project once I received my accelerometer/gyroscope MPU6050 from IC Station, and I wanted to do something useful with this.Then I found out that a “Head Mouse” already exists, made by Martin Millmore with another

Electronic market is full of devices called pedometer and fitness tracker. They counts the number of steps you have taken, distance you have covered, whether you are walking or running and bunch of other stuff. Ever wondered, how these devices perform such measurements. I decided to make one on my own and share the knowledge

In this tutorial you will learn how to make your own 4 ft by 4 ft, Arduino controlled, 3 watt laser engraver / cutter (for thin materials) for around 300$. The main thing that separates this tutorial from other laser engraver tutorials on here is the roughly 42 x 42 inch cutting/engraving area. This project

In this instructable I’ll show you how to make a simple tilt switch, this tilt switch works best with microcontrollers that can debounce the signal and overcome interferences produced by vibrations. There are many ways to make a tilt switch, this one is a cheap and easy way to do one. Pros: -Tiny. -Easy to

Will show several ways to show how to use an Arduino as a sensor using The Nexus 7 for a terminal and to do development. This can be very important for protecting your electronic equipment especially servers. Note 1: All connections are to a standard Arduino board. This instructable is for users very familiar with
Nexus 7 and the Arduino. Continue Reading
