This project is a subset of my idea of an interactive wall.. so this is an interactive wall-piece.. What does it do ? Mine is a touch activated light display. How does it work? It is controlled by an Arduino UNO which senses the inputs and turns on the respective outputs. Step 1: Building the

This tutorial will show you how to create a garment that changes its behavior depending on how conductive you are. It detects conductivity through iron-on conductive fabric that we will use, and it will light up and sing different notes depending on how you touch the conductive fabric. We’ll be using sewable electronics (the LilyPad

This instructable will teach you how to construct homemade game controllers for personal games, education aids, or anything you want. This system uses 4 controllers which send signals to a central hub which holds an Arduino. It was designed for use with a game called Fraction Smash that my group was developing for a class. Students

If you have succeeded in a few arduino projects, congratulations! You may be motivated to take on a larger project. But as you take on a larger project, your breadboard becomes messier and messier, like a bowl of spaghetti (jumper wires). You will even have a hard time keep your arduino flat on your table

This is the high-tech version of hanging a tennis ball from the ceiling from a piece of string. Of course, if you have two different types of vehicles, that tennis ball isn’t going to land in the same place on both of them. This project can prevent hundreds of dollars in dry-wall repair and bicycle

I made the original Instructible that this is based on over a year ago (You can see it here to see some of the theory around how this works:http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-access-5-buttons-through-1-Arduino-input ). To make a long story short, I moved to a different country a few weeks after that and have not played with any electronics since.

Ready-made SD card logging shields for the Arduino typically cost in the range of $15 – $25. This is quite reasonable, but we might save a couple of bucks if we make our own. Not to mention all the fun in building it. Forget about soldering wires to a bare SD card socket. It’s just

The CatBot is an autonomous laser toy for your cat. You may say “But Joe, isn’t the laser pointer the best toy for the lazy cat owner?” I’d have to say no, the CatBot takes one step further. Using two servos, an Arduino and a cheap $3 laser you can provide your cat with endless

Time for another instalment in my irregular series of clock projects. (Or should that be “Time for another instalment in the series of irregular clock projects”?) In contrast with the extreme “blinkiness” of Clock One, in this article we describe how to build this single-digit digital clock: Once again the electronics of the clock will

Make a game pad with an accelerometer inside! This project tutorial will show you how you can convert a console game pad into a USB keyboard mouse for playing games on your PC. The USB game pad can be used with nearly any software, such as a MAME emulator, game, simulation software, or for custom
