Hi. I’m Darren a 17 year old hobbyist, and this is the first Instructable I’m posting here, so I apologize if it kinda sucks! I hope it’s good enough… So how did the idea of a robotic arm come to me? Well, the first thing I remember is our chemistry teacher (!) coming to me […]

In this tutorial I will go over how to make a transforming chandelier. This project will be heavily CAD oriented (Solid works and Illustrator), made by laser cutting/engraving acrylic sheets, and a little bit of Arduino coding and soldering. Step 1: Choosing materials. All the pieces for the chandelier will be made out of flat

As per an assignment in my digital multi-media class, I’ve combined two Arduino-related tutorials into a functional object! The result is a pair of infinity mirrors that flash red and blue depending on minute fluctuations in ambient temperature. This is my first experience with Arduino, and my first attempt at building an electronic device from

************************************************************************** Major updates – A much better enclosure for this clock has been designed – check out http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Wordclock-Grew-Up/ ************************************************************************** Last month I wanted to build a special gift for my beautiful wife, Megan. She has a teaching background in English, so what better present to make for her than a clock that uses language to

I frequent a blog called hackaday.com which featured a project by “Nikolai”, it was a 10cm LED ball that used shift registers. It seems like a really fun project to attempt but the cost of having the boards made & not having any experience sending eagle drawings to fab shops initially kept me from starting.

This instructable is a step-by-step assembly guide for the educational colorimeter kit we launched in April 2012 on Kickstarter. Assembly takes from 20-40 minutes. Once assembled the colorimeter can be used in a wide variety of science experiments to measure the absorbance and concentration of a colored solution. The colorimeter kit is an open source

I used the Arduino UNO combined with three LumiGeek shields to run lighting. LumiGeek has dedicated shields to support 1 Watt RGB LEDs that require constant current, Addressable RGB LED Strip, and Non-Addressable RGB LED Strip. Step 1: 1 Watt RGB LEDs (2x) I wired these in series and powered them with the 12 Volt
