Bring your 3D models to life! In this instructable we will custom make a remotely controlled tank. We will infuse paper-craft with an arduino based system. This tank will be controlled on a android based phone though a bluetooth connection. I’ve strived to create something with a pleasing fit and finish. Remote control is also quite cheap […]

This Instructable shows how to create a Barcode Reader using only a webcam together with Roborealm and Arduino. The webcam used in this demonstration is the Logitech Quickcam and the LCD screen is labelled, JHD162A. What you need for this project: 1. Arduino UNO 2. LCD 3. Roborealm 4. Potentiometer Step 1: Coding the Arduino

This example shows how to read an analog input pin, map the result to a range from 0 to 255, and then use that result to set the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) of an output pin to dim or brighten an LED. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect one

For a class, my teammate and I decided to develop a MIDI based system that has a responsive light for each note played. For example, if you plug our little setup to a keyboard, pending on which note you press, you’ll get a specific color. You’ll need a list of several items, but the reward

This is a 3D printed digital camera that you can build yourself. By making your own digital camera, it takes away some of the mystery around how such devices work, and are fabricated. Also, it allows you to fully customize the camera to your liking. You can expand the circuit to have new functionality, or

It all started when I saw a BBC documentary in 2002 about deep waters of the ocean. There was a biolimunescent jellyfish in the documentary, probably of the species “ctenophores” that grabbed my attention so in the later years I decided use it as a Halloween costume. It wasn’t until 2011 when the led strips using LPD8806 driver chips

Sometimes you want everything in the program to stop while a given condition is true. You can do this using a while loop. This example shows how to use a while loop to calibrate the value of an analog sensor. In the main loop, the sketch below reads the value of a photoresistor on analog pin 0 and

L3DGEWorld is a tool for monitoring and interacting with networks and computer systems. Within a 3D world, entities bounce, spin, scale and otherwise change. These entities all represent an entity in another context – be it a server, phone, router or other monitorable device. The visual transformations represent various characteristics of these entities, such as

The mailbox phone alert sends you a text whenever you get mail. I remember anxiously checking my mail multiple times a day during the spring of my senior year of high school as I awaited letters back from colleges. Nervously, I would walk up to the mailbox. My heart would skip a beat as I

After I got comfortable programming and building with an Arduino, I used my newly acquire microcontroller skills to build a robot. Using a microcontroller, four high-torque DC gear motors, spiked legs, a linear actuator, rotation sensors, and 3 L298 H-bridge circuits, this robot can climb up trees of varying diameter. The very long build log
