This is a guide to using the motors and sensors from the LEGO NXT set with a Parallax Basic Stamp II or BS2. However, rather than just providing schematics and sample code for the BS2, I’ll be providing some theory on how the sensors work as well. This way, someone using an arduino or other

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to create a mosquito repellent device with the help of an Arduino. The repellent comes in a shield form that can be connected to the Arduino board, allowing for easy modification of its frequency. This project is perfect for camping and hiking outdoor activities, as it emits a

A few years ago I saw an Instructable where Groover had used a pair of DVD-RW drives to make a pocket laser engraver. Inspired by the idea, driven by the recent purchase of a full-sized 50 watt CO2 laser cutter, and roused by the launch of the Microcontroller contest I took the decision to have a crack at making my own

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:
