This project is an extension to the Speech Recognition with Arduino by leandro4b (http://www.instructables.com/id/Speech-Recognition…). However, instead of using 3 separate colored LEDs, I used a multicolor 4-channel RGBW LED Emitter. I had the opportunity of working at LED Engin last summer, which is why I was able to use the high power 4-die RGBW emitter […]

We created an Internet-enabled companion cube for your computer, which displays different kinds of information by glowing red or green. Depending on its orientation, and which labeled face is oriented upwards, our companion cube displays either stock readings of the NASDAQ or the outside temperature in Princeton. As the temperature or stock index changes, the

This instructable will detail how to make a switch that uses an arduino to sample light. When the light sample reaches a threshold it will trigger a relay that can be used to turn on/off a small appliance (light, radio, fan, etc…) The parts for this instructable can be ordered as a kit: Jameco Kit

Technologies for rudimentary physiological sensing are getting cheaper and easier to implement. Consider, for instance, these non-contact sensors from UCSD which can be used to take an EEG through hair or an ECG through a T-shirt! One can even make a simple oscilloscope to digitize, store and view the signal using only a Tiny45 micro-controller

This instructable is about building a Rotary Stewart Platform. It allows to position its moving platform in six degrees of freedom. This specific platform is designed to be able to position a DSLR or any other digital camera. This version of Stewart Platform uses instead of linear actuators just ordinary hobbyist servos for motion. Whole

Let’s get the math over right off the bat. There are a LOT of attempts to describe how Ohm’s Law works, each one nerdier than the last. Here’ one I like. Warning: SFWBN (safe for work but nerdy). V = voltage measured in volts – the difference in electrical potential. I = Current measured in

The first time I saw a POV (Persistence Of Vision) display was on a show called FAQ on TV. The POV display consisted of an oscillating shaft with 6 LED’s mounted on the end of the shaft. Since then I have always wanted to make one myself, I tried making one about 2 months ago

Unfortunately, due to my need to reclaim my Arduino and breadboards, we don’t have photographic documentation of our circuit. However, the structure of it was rather self-evident. Although we arranged the circuit in a such a way that we could program other functions, but we ultimately opted to keep the programming to a minimum to

This instructable will show you how to control your computer’s keyboard and mouse with an Android app via bluetooth to an Arduino BACKGROUND Ever wanted to control your computer’s mouse/keyboard functionality without having to actually sit in front of it? I do all the time. For instance, I often hook my laptop up to the

The Augmented Water device helps you save water by turning red after one Liter. The device, built by @tamberg during a water hackathon, is made from an Arduino, a flow sensor and coloured LED pixels.
