I’ve been wanting to start exploring the world of microcontrollers and programming for some time now, so I came up with this simple project which uses an app called “Blynk” to allow you to wirelessly control an Arduino board through your wifi. Now obviously the end result isn’t the most practical device you’ll ever build,

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:

I’m a huge fan of technology and music, but when I decided to start making my own electronic music, I was discouraged by the high price of MIDI keyboards and controllers. After a lot of tinkering, I saw the opportunity to create my own MIDI keyboard using an Arduino Uno and electric paint, for a

What do you do when someone is chasing you or you are lost? Cross your fingers? Don’t. When you are in trouble, just cross your feet [in a special way] and your location is sent to your family members. Wait there’s more! Even the family can get your location just by calling the shoe. When you call the SIM in

This robot was mainly built for understanding Arduino and combining various projects of Arduino to form a Multi Featured Arduino Robot. And further, who doesn’t want to have a pet robot? So I named it BLUE ROVIER 316. I could have bought a beautiful tracked chassis but making it from scratch teaches you more and

I will describe a fun and easy way to build your own sound expression MIDI enabled glove without expending lot’s of money on MIDI Interfaces or expensive sensors. Feel free to contact me directly by mail if you like it or have suggestions. This project was inspired by other do it yourself projects using Piezo

[2017 Update] Eagle files please click here. The objective of this project is to create a version of Arduino Mega 2560 board that has lower component count and smaller board size. Personally to be used for robotics projects that require ATmega2560’s 256 KB flash and digital/analog pins, where the size, weight, and USB port location of
