So, looking at these Kaoss pads and alike hardware, I found that there is hardly any point in this device being so expensive, when you just want to use it as MIDI controller. Going through my parts bin, I found a Synaptics touchpad from an old laptop and figured this should just work as a replacement.

Quick and simple start guide for using and exploring the Flame Sensor module with an Arduino. The model in the example I am using is from Deal Extreme [DX] and can be found HERE. (The instructable for the Rain Sensor is now available!) Materials needed: Flame Sensor (model with an analog out) Male to Female

The goal of this project is to build a cheap alternative to measuring CO2 ppm in the air. It’s a nice simple way to see over-time change in ppm using a cheap NDIR carbon sensor and a temperature/pressure sensor to achieve better accuracy. In this project you will need to: – Solder – Wire –

Recently I’ve been learning about Ultrasonic waves and how to harness their power. It’s simple enough to make some type of sonar device, but I wanted to take at a step cooler and see if I could use Ultrasonic waves to not only detect movement, but also the direction of that movement. So let’s take

In this Instructable, I’ll be explaining how to build a motion activated alarm! It uses an Arduino microcontroller, a PIR (passive infrared) sensor, and a type of alarm. You can use an LED indicator, a buzzer, or a piezo. That’s the easy part. I will also be showing how to display to a character LCD

Don’t let a clogged drain slow you down!Coming back from our vacation, me and my wife were surprised by the water covering the floor of our apartment, and we found out it’s not even clean water, it’s drain everywhere. After clearing the drain and cleaning the floor, I had this question: why don’t we have

Colour reading is a real issue for industrial models. I’ve been working on it for more than 12 months now, since December 2009. After many months of hard work, • starting with the standard colour reader (season 1 ) with features a red LED, • adding extra light from bulb lamps (season 2 ), •

Wireless power transfer systems are well on their way to replacing conventional wired charging. Ranging from tiny biomedical implants all the way to wirelessly recharging huge electric vehicles. An integral part of the research on wireless power is minimizing the magnetic field density. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) provides scientific advice and

BTW!!!!! This instructable is awsomeeeeeeThis is a very simple but at the same time a very hard project depending on your skill level. Lets get to building! What this is, is a wireless animatronic hand that doesn’t need a computer to operate. The user wears a control glove and can control the animatronic hand precisely.
