Bored of keeping track of countless locks and their keys? How about using your own fingerprint to unlock each and every safe in your house, just like your Smartphone? Sounds cool, right? Let’s make an electronic Fingerprint locker that will keep all your secrets a secret from your enemies. And not only one, but up […]

In this project I will show you how I combined an Arduino Nano, a current sensor, an LCD, a rotary encoder and a couple of other complementary components in order to create an adjustable constant load. It features a constant current and power mode and can handle a maximum of 30V and 20A if your

This neat little gadget has a fingerprint sensor so you can secure your cool stuff in a personalised portable case. I use to hold a diary and pen and designs for my new projects. Features a 3d printed case and uses an Arduino nano. Great gift idea. Step 1: Gather Materials Arduino Nano WS2812b Programmable

Remember the “smart” LED candle from a few months ago? Well, the idea was nice, but the overall execution lacked some oomph. Technologically and aesthetically speaking there was a lot to improve. First off, as an artist, I wanted the container for the candle to look amazing. Or at least better than the old cardboard box I

LEDs are designed to emit light, but they also make surprisingly capable sensors. Using only an Arduino UNO, an LED and a resistor, we will build a hot LED anemometer that measures wind speed, and turns off the LED for 2 seconds when it detects you are blowing on it. You can use this to
An LED You Can Blow Out Like a Candle! Continue Reading
I made a Sunlight simulating lightbox with a mountain village skyline, that I might upgrade to a wake-up light some time, for a school project. Step 1: Get the Supplies Supplies I used: -Arduino UNO -Neopixel ledstrip 1m, 30 leds(DC5V-W2812) -3 jumper wires -USB cable type B -5V power adapter -Aluminum tape(or aluminum foil) -4mm

Let’s learn how to read a photoresistor, a light-sensitive type of variable resistor, using Arduino’s Analog Input. It’s also called an LDR (light-dependent resistor). So far you’ve already learned to control LEDs with Arduino’s analog output, and to read a potentiometer, which is another type of variable resistor, so we’ll build on those skills in this lesson.

This project is based on mostly items which are easy to find. The idea is to take two unused computer disk units and combine them to create an automated drawing machine which resembles a CNC machine. The pieces used out of the drives include the motors and railings from both of the drives and the

In this Instructables I want to show how to make a simple and cheap arduino plotter that can draw on eggs or other spherical objects. In addition, soon Easter and this homemade will be very handy Step 1: Watch the Video Step 2: Materials List of materials: -Arduino Uno -2х Stepper motor (28BYJ-48) -2x Stepper

I’ve been growing more and more interested in the idea of First Person Video (FPV) drone racing. I’ve recently acquired a small drone and wanted a way of timing my laps – this is the resulting project. This drone landing pad features an integrated ultrasonic sensor that detects a drones presence. When a drone departs
