In Amateur radio, Morse code is used to send messages using a series of short or long pulses which are heard by the operator as audio beeps. The short beeps are known as dots or dits, and the longer beeps are known as dashes or dahs. To be understood, the duration of the dits and

This Instructable is to build a very smart, talking campsite security system that is disguised in an owl decoy. Now, this isn’t your typical Arduino ultrasonic distance sensing project. Rather, you will learn how to reverse engineer the very inexpensive, but far superior automotive bumper backup sensors for very wide beams of detection. You’ll also learn how

In one of my previous Instructables, I showed you how you can use a Stepper motor as a rotary encoder. In this Instructable, let’s learn how we can use it to control our computer. So without further ado, let’s get started! Step 1: Watch the Video Watch the above video to get a better idea of
Control Your Computer With a Stepper Motor! Continue Reading
Heey my name is Rens Kuilman. For a school project (If This Then That) we had to make something using the Arduino. After a few misses I decided to make a random laser, which I a lazy cat owner could use the get his lazy cat to move. Supplies Arduino Uno [1x] SG90 Mini Servo
