Arduino LED Cylinder

LED Cylinder using Arduino

This is a little art project I made with 95 RGB LEDs arranged in a 3D cylinder shape, sitting atop a microcontroller-based driver circuit. The LEDs are individually addressable, and when you power it on, the software cycles through a series of animations, e.g. various moving rainbowy patterns, “rain”, “fireworks”, and so on. It doesn’t

Arduino Blinky Fish

Blinky Fish using an Arduino

Assembly instructions for an add-on board for the Arduino. **** FOR INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARCH 2013, KICKSTARTER PROJECT GO HERE http://www.instructables.com/id/Blinky-Fish-Kickstarter-Project/  ************ It has some LED’s and a button. It connects to digital pins 9-13 and ground.  My hope is that this will be useful to people that want to play with writing code for the Arduino, but don’t want

Core2duino Updated with Arduino

Core2duino Updated with Arduino

This instructable will show you how to build an Arduino shield that adds another Atmega168/328 on top of your Arduino, giving you an extra complete set of I/O pins to use. That’s 12 PWM pins, 12 Analog pins, 4 external interrupts,  or 40 Digital pins total. ———————————– *UPDATE* 3-11-10 I re-did the Eagle file and scrapped

Charlieplexed row of LED lights for the Arduino

Charlieplexed row of LED lights, for the Arduino

This is my instructable on charlieplexing a LED row/string with the arduino. I noticed that there weren’t many instructables on charlieplexing using an arduino, so i made this. I tried to keep the project simple, but that didn’t work very well. The soldering is complex, I wouldn’t recommend this as a first time soldering project.

Arduino Solar Shield

Arduino Solar Shield – A DIY solar source for your projects without waiting for PCBs

This instructable is a basic version of Bley Joel’s (“It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in”) Solar Shield, and it should work for most arduinos.  I’ve tested it with SparkFun’s Arduino Pro, and the new Leonardo. Myself and the other Solar Pocketeers* are actually waiting for a new set of PCBs

Check In to Foursquare

Pee to Check-In to Foursquare – Mark Your Territory using Arduino

In case you are unfamiliar with the most amazing new way to physically “check in” to foursquare here is a video that will explain it all: Mark Your Territory is a fully open-source system but because it interacts with the physical world as well as the digital one, some construction is necessary beyond just simply
