How to make an “analog” input device from fabric and a few other necessary materials. “Analog” in parenthesis because, although it is made up of 4 analog inputs, the only analog transition between the directions (up, right, down and left) comes from the buffering material (in this case 3cm thick squishy packing material) that absorbs […]
In this instructables session we are going to see . How to make your joystick . Which is compatible for PC, Laptop , Smart Phone . By Using UnoJoy Libary. With this libary we can convert a arduino uno into USB game Controller . People who are physically challenged can make there own Joystick based

Impressed by these two LEGO® Dragster sets, a 250 pieces LEGO®TECHNIC Dragster 8847 (released in 1983) and a 391 pieces Top Fuel Racing 5533 (released in 1999). These two Dragsters inspired me to build my own LEGO® dragster, the “12 Thumbs”. The name “12 Thumbs” came after I finished the design. While I was playing with my finished
Do you want to build a robot that is in an invisible enclosure? Or have you wondered how the robotic lawn mowers stay in their garden?In this Instructable I will show you how you can easily build a perimeter loop yourself.This perimeter loop uses a filter named matched filter. This filter allows us to recognize
After a break of around two decades I’ve recently started building a model railway. One of the issues I’ve faced is trying to work out how fast I should be running the trains so that their speed reflects reality given the scale at which they are modelled. I’m guessing the details won’t interest everyone reading
In addition to gambling, dice (die – singular) are used in many board games, e.g., Backgammon, Monopoly, Yahtzee, Liar’s Dice, Dungeons & Dragons, Trouble, etc. Common dice are usually white with black “pips”. They are sometime known as d6 or D6. In this Instructable, the results of a simulated toss of a die (i.e., a

The Strandbot is a DIY upgrade for the Strandbeest originally designed by Theo Jansen. Strandbeests are amazing mechanical creatures that are able to move on their own using just a little bit of wind power. Unfortunately my tiny apartment is short on wind, so I decided to upgrade a miniature Strandbeest using an Arduino and

In this Instructable, I’ll show you how I managed to create my own I2C controlled device that I can then connect to any microcontroller and interact with it over I2C. In my case, I’m using it to control an AC dimmer module from a separate Arduino Nano and I then interact with it from another

This project will show you how you can create your own programmable thermostat with temperature probe, an LED readout and ability to remote control outlets. The core of this project is actually a driver for a 4 digit seven segment display. There are lots uses for such a device. You can purchase something called a PID
Make your own programmable thermostat for $66 with Arduino Continue Reading
One of the projects in Practical Arduino is the “Online Thermometer”, which combines an Ethernet shield with a number of DS18B20 1-wire temperature sensors to allow you to read multiple temperatures and make the values accessible using a web browser. In that project I chose a specific model of Ethernet shield that was available at
