Lightning Shutter Trigger for a Camera using Arduino

Lightning Shutter Trigger for a Camera using Arduino

I knew there were devices that could trigger a camera to fire during a lightning strike, but their circuits were more complicated than I wanted to make. I’m a software guy not a hardware guy so I decided to use an Arduino and that allowed me to write a little code that made the circuit much simpler. Before I

Dot Matrix Printer from a CD or DVD Reader with Arduino

Dot Matrix Printer from a CD/DVD Reader with Arduino

Hey! Some time ago while going through the pages here in Instructables, something catch my attention, a printer made of a CD reader, and i was amazed. I thought: “This is incredible, I have to make one!” I know that these kind of projects don’t always receive a “I made it”, because of its degree

Arduino Laser Tripwire

Twittering Laser Tripwire with Webcam Capture using Arduino

This instructable will show you how to construct a laser tripwire that can twitter and grab an image from a webcam, as well as execute any command you can put in a bash script. This instructable is actually quite simple and is even suitable as a beginner arduino project. It requires a GNU/linux (or possibly Mac) operating

4D OLEDS

Displaying Images on 4D OLEDS using Arduino

4D Systems makes some really nice serial OLEDS. They aren’t hard to use, but the documentation for them is very scattered. This tutorial pulls together the various pieces i’ve found so that you can get up and running very quickly. Start by skimming through the user manual for your particular 4D OLED. µOLED-128-GMD µOLED-96-G1 µOLED-160-GMD1
