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

Introduction Our goal was to build a brain-computer interface using an AVR microcontroller. We decided that the least invasive way of measuring brain waves would be using electroencephalography (EEG) to record microvolt-range potential differences across locations on the user’s scalp. In order to accomplish this, we constructed a two-stage amplification and filtering circuit. Moreover, we

Here at Mikamai, we often organise events and hackathons. After the last hackathon, someone left an old doll, and it was kinda creepy… so why not make it even creepier? I decided to put two red LEDs instead of the eyes, and a vibration sensor to turn on the LEDs when you shake the doll.

You give your pets everything: Food, water, a home, toys, and love. Why not give them a twitter account? This project allows you to monitor your pets’ eating habits and receive alerts when their supplies are low. It’s also a cute, fun way to learn how to interact with the Arduino, Twitter, sensors, and Ethernet.

Hello everybody! This macaw was part of a work of biology at the college of my daughter, who was attempting to educate people not to buy wild animals. This beautiful animal, natural tropical forests of South America, is highly coveted by smugglers. In captivity, unlikely to receive necessary care. I did this and the other

This project will add tweeting capabilities to the GE 45142 Choice-Alert Wireless Control Center Alarm system. The alarm system allows you to connect up to 16 different sensors across 4 zones and with the addition of the Arduino powered Alarming Tweet you can enable it to keep you informed of it’s status anytime anywhere. Originally
