The Internet Controlled RC Car allows you to remotely drive around a small rc car from wherever you may be and see where it is going. This is fun because you can remote explore whatever space you leave it in, or hand over the keys – so to speak – and allow someone to drive […]
A disclaimer right up front, I didn’t shrink the remotes and that’s not a photo of my remotes through a microscope. But what I did do was shrink them down to the buttons I use the most. Not even sure what most of the others do! However, most of you will know what this image
So you just bought this Arduino kit or Arduino-clone kit. You spent hours inserting parts and soldering components. You connect everything up and turn it on and stare at the little LED. You wait a second and nothing happens. You wait a minute and still nothing happens. So what do you do? Well, I have
Have you ever wanted to impress your friends by saying something crazy like, “I think there’s going to be an earthquake soon” moments before an earthquake hits? Or do you just want some warning, a few seconds that could save your life. This project will allow you to hook up a seismic sensor to a

There are some great hackable devices in the SONOFF range such as the original SONOFF switches, the Slampher and the SONOFF Luxury wall plate which is the subject of this instructable. These devices are based around the ESP8266 or ESP8285 WifFi modules and are easily hackable. I’ll only cover here how to convert a wall

Please vote for me in the contests i have entered. Hope you enjoy the instructable, and happy making. I was, some time ago, quite interested in IoT projects and so I thought it would be fun to make something associated with the Internet. I recently purchased the micro-controller called the nodeMCU and it’s superb. After having decided

I had a traffic light that I was refinishing. The only thing left to do was to build the controller for the light’s signal patterns. To give it a twist I incorporated a remote control. This was also the perfect opportunity for me to try out an Arduino. I wanted to use the Arduino becuase

Every apartment needs awesome furniture, so why not make your own? This coffee table contains LED strips that light up into various customizable patterns and colors. The lights are controlled by an Arduino and a hidden button, and the entire thing is battery powered so there are no cords. If you don’t want to make

If you have read my first blog on the topic, than you already know what I’m experimenting with. Low price FM Radio, build with TDA7088 / YD 9088. It was obvious, that technology from the early 90-x is outdated. I mean, simple “search and hold” function of the radio. Scan function works only one way, up in
