How To Interface a CDV 700 Geiger Counter to a PC Using an Arduino (Part 1) The second part of our video series of our project to interface to a CDV-700 radiation meter using an Arduino Uno! How To Interface a CDV 700 Geiger Counter to a PC Using an Arduino (Part 2) Code: A […]
So I had some luck with getting the Sharp Infrared range finder working and I’ve now plugged this on to my servo rig to see if I get better results on my radar styled display. Check out how to use the Sharp IR range finder here Few things to bare in mind, whilst the code
This instructable is not complete, I will post code soon The Arm: This instructable shows the process of building a robotic arm using servos, Arduino microprocessor, a gyroscope and multiple bend sensors. The user wears a glove containing the gyroscope and bend sensors which translate the movement of the users hand into motion of the

I made this project on the same night that my Arduino Duemilanove arrived from Cool Components. After being an Instructables member for about a year I though it was time I should contribute. There is another Arduino traffic light project similar to this, but it is much more complex; mine is aimed at beginners and

Using an Apple Pro speaker, I made a flashing RGB LED iPod dock for about $35. I recommend reading the entire ‘ible before starting. Also, note that the volume is control from the iPod. It consumes minimal power in shutdown mode, and is controlled by a Teensy. This took me ~3 days to build, and

This is where all the work is done to read an interpret the values from the servo and the sensor. If the readings are to erratic then you won’t have nice shapes. Also if you don’t allow enough time to the signals to be sent back then you’ll get false distance readings. So this code
So far my Arduino projects have all needed only a small number of output pins. In a previous post I talked about moving some of the logic off the Arduino and into other integrated circuits in order to free up pins on the Arduino. While this can help, I’m sure there will come a time

Concept: Very simple, using an Arduino and the play melody basic program, create a music playing speaker out of a vibration motor and a piece of flexible foam. Instead of pulsing signal to a speaker, signal is pulsed to a motor varying how fast it can spin and when it spins. Science behind it (this

First things first, we need to build our circuit. This is the easy bit! We’ll be using the Arduino to control a servo that will rotate our sensor around 180 degrees. The Arduino will then send the value from the distance sensor along with the current angle of the servo to the serial port. Before
**DISCLAIMER** I do not and will not take responsibility for anyone who gets in trouble for this, by either imitating emergency personnel, or using without a permit/lisence. Updates! -I have shortened the code -Changed 16 LED’s to 8 -Changed/added more flash patterns -Renamed variables As promised, this is the ATMega 2650 version of the police
