OK, I know that sounds weird, but bear with me for a moment. My Pops really enjoys two things; 1) channel surfing and 2) farting. So one day I was over at http://hackaday.com/ and read about a guy who used his Arduino to turn a TV on and off with one of those brainwave reading

I am new to Arduino and wanted a project which would teach me different things. This got me involved with sound and the use of a LCD. This project is based on the Instructable posted by bertus52x11 which you can find here http://www.instructables.com/id/After-Dinner-Reaction-Time-Tester/ . While I did start with the bertus52x11 project I did make

This instructable will help you understand the iPod serial protocol, and how to send commands to an iPod using an Arduino. This instructable is only meant to show the basics of the protocol and is by no means complete. I only had enough hardware space for 4 buttons, and the software reflects that. Hardware Needed

Hello, this is my very first step-by-step instructable, and today, we’re going to learn how the sensors in your android smartphone can communicate with your arduino. In modern smartphones, there are a lot of useful sensors for an ingenious arduino project. I have a motorola DEFY, for example and it has (at least) 6 sensors

This board needs FTDI cable to program it. It is not Arduino compatible in the meaning of taking shields (just like every small form factor board isn’t). But it has all the same pins (exept 3.3V power and Vin*) available as female headers. The input and output pins that are right next to each other

Overview A software / hardware combo that allows for control of the analog filter inside a Commodore 64 that is running Cynthcart from a host computer (eg, Macbok, PC). Software • 16-step filter sequencer • Set the speed of the filter sequence (with intervals between values reaching 2ms) • Set the length of the sequence

Introduction August, 2007 One of my other hobbies is photography, and, about a year ago, I purchased a new digicam – a Panasonic FZ30. I joined the Panasonic forum on the dpreview site. One of the posters, a programmer and electronic hobbyist, designed a nifty wireless remote using a very inexpensive RF transmitter/receiver combination that he

Security system sensors such as motion detectors, reed switches, pressure mats, glass-break detectors, infra-red beams, and conductive film can be very handy for all sorts of things including home automation systems, interactive art installations – and sometimes even security systems! Almost all security system sensors provide a simple switched output that changes state based on

I already have one project where arduino outputs audio signal to USB speakers via software 10-bits PWM. In first, I was not satisfied with quality of sound generated via PWM. There are just not enough speed in arduino engine to run PWM well. For example for 20.000 Hz audio, PWM has to be at least 2

Old cellphones are easy to acquire and they have built in lithium charging circuitry. What a wonderful base for a power supply for small mobile things. I hooked up a cellphone to the arduino with the ability to charge the cellphone when you plug the arduino into the usb port. Please note that this was
