This time I’ll show how I used an Arduino to control a relay module with eight channels. Arduino in offers several advantages such as: – Open source; – Easy programming; – You can assemble your own board; – Is supported on various forums on the Internet; – Has several “shields” (facilitates the use of it […]

Time for a follow-up to the Single Button Combination Lock by creating another oddball type of switch/lock. To activate this switch we make use of a Parallax Ping))) Ultrasonic sensor, an Arduino-style board and some other hardware – to make a device that receives a four-number code which is made up of the distance between a hand

Build a simple Arduino powered Traffic Light with us! This instructable is meant to walk you through almost every step, but there are a few assumptions. Read over the intro and the first step to make sure you are fully prepared! This is the breadboard version, a more realistic traffic light will be generated soon.

This is my first in a series of more advanced Arduino tutorials. Now that we’ve covered the basics in tutorials 1-10 (you have watched them all right!?), it’s time to start pursuing some more complex projects! In this episode, we’ll utilize an SD card shield from cooking-hacks.com to create a datalogger. First, I’ll walk you

This time on the show we continue coverage of Toorcamp 2012 – the American Hacker Camp. This time Darren speaks with Rob Eby about packet radio as an extension of the Internet. Plus what could be better than flexible individually addressable RGB LED strips? %1 controlled by Arduino! All that and more!

A bumper-sticker sized L.E.D. matrix that displays images in sequence from an SD card, to produce an animated sign or “window sticker.” Arduino controlled! Also includes Windows, Mac, and Linux code for converting .xbm image files into Digital Window Sticker files. Perfect for a shop or home window, or a fun desktop sign! Step 1:

Robopod is a simple arduino robot that uses antennas to detect obstacles. Robopod’s motors are controlled by an H bridge and powered by a nine volt battery. Robopods circuit is based on a breadboard for easy modification. Step 1: Tools and Materials Material Arduino uno Breadboard H Bridge 9 volt battery 9 volt battery

Not even Zombies are exempt from a good pat-down. Scanner security wands are used at the most exclusive nightclubs and venues. Does not detect metal to indicate a presence of weapons but will indicate the lack of a soul which means a more rigorous body cavity search to remove any last shred of dignity you

Every summer, Qualcomm hosts a Battle of the Schools competition, which gives employees the opportunity to represent their home universities. This year, entries were to be homemade contraptions, and they were judged according to how cool they were perceived to be. Virginia Tech’s cannon project tied the University of Michigan for first place. The project

Remote control is almost a standard accessory for most home applications, like TV, Hi-Fi, air conditioner and so on. Though remote control brings us leisure, when you really need it but have completely no clue where it is, or which one it is, you have every right to be pissed off. To solve the remote
