I have always wanted to make something with my LED dot matrix display, and so when I found a old alarm motion sensor I knew just what to make, a Motion Sensing Eye! This instructable will hopefully finish with you having a working dmd, that will display an eye that opens if something in a

Overview Once again, my project was motivated by my curiosity to explore interesting and unfamiliar territory. I decided to see if I could make my own capacitive sensor and then use it in a project of some sort. After numerous fiascoes with Arduino and computers, I was able to get the capacitive sensor to work and then implemented it
Introduction: Our main goal with the Tiich system is to design a teaching aid/tool which would replace the conventional whiteboard in a classroom environment. We want our system to be used as an electronic based white board, having all the written information easily be saved and submitted to all the students in the classroom. We

After having completed my first Arduino project (which can be found here) I wanted to try and create something that had more of a practical use. My idea behind this project was a way of aiding the visually impaired. By the end of this project you will have created some touch sensitive desk trays which

This lab most recently revamped by Edgar Berdahl and Wendy Ju. Chris Carlson, possibly Bill Verplank, and others have likely contributed. For this lab you need your Satellite CCRMA kit, a laptop computer with Ethernet adaptor to program it, and some headphones with a mini 1/8″ (2.54mm) stereo jack. You are also invited to bring

In this critical making project, we will be making a personal iDial, which will give you, the wearer, the ability to reflect on your personal identity in a private space, and then spatially and temporally dislocate your ‘private self’ into public conversation! You might be thinking, ‘this device looks ridiculous’. Well, that’s the point. This

The Darkness Map encompasses both data collection and visualization of nighttime light levels. You can add to the map by downloading the app for iPhone or Android, but you can also contribute data by creating your own data collection device. This tutorial will cover how to build an Arduino powered data logger with a light

This is a step-by-step on how to connect Arduino to OpenFrameworks using Spacebrew. More specifically our project focuses on the awesomeness of Capacitive Sensing to alter OF projections to create an awesome tactile experience! What the process will involve: Arduino -> Processing -> SpaceBrew -> OpenFrameworks What you will need: Software: Arduino Processing OpenFrameworks Capsense
Capacitive Sensing + Open Frameworks + SPACEBREW Continue Reading
In many cases switches are just switches. They directly control the flow of electricity to an appliance, flashlight or mains-voltage lamp. An example of this is the switch on the wall in your living room. In many cases nowadays however, switches are digital sensors, meaning that instead of directly controlling a high-powered device, they are
Momentary Switch as Digital Sensor Continue Reading
