Good news, everyone! I just started with the arduino and right at the very beginning I felt that I needed some sort of base to put the arduino on. I was reading one article from ladyada (http://www.ladyada.net/images/arduino/bumperplace.jpg) and she was using some rubber bumpers on the bottom of the board. I thought about that and

I recently bought an Arduino Diecimila board. It’s awesome and the applications, you can use it for or with is almost unlimited. However there’s a problem when you want to use it in portable applications. You can use the Liquidware lithium backpack, which is a good way to power the Arduino. There’s a problem with

Have you ever made a city out of Legos? I know i have built many of them but they all missed something… Traffic lights! So i decided to make my very own traffic light setup from my arduino board. Step 2: Get the components I assume you already have an adruino board, and maybe also
Simple Arduino Traffic Lights Continue Reading
Having built a few puzzle box games recently, and having some components left over I thought I would build a functional Steampunk Compass. Based around a Arduino Duemilanove this is a really quick and simple build. Taking reading from a digital compass the Arduino controls a servo to position a clock hand. Step 2: Connect

First and foremost, I must acknowledge that I am standing on the shoulders of giants, and that every giant is standing on the shoulders of giants (such as all contributors to instructables). If it weren’t for the unknowably many people who had the mindfulness to freely share information, this would have been utterly impossible; I

Here’s a six word tragedy: My arduino needs four AA batteries. Really? Isn’t this 2012? Where’s my jetpack?!! Here’s a way to the future — a way to make a solar panel, from scratch, that can power any arduino off of sunlight or even light in your house. Sort of a peel-and-stick power source for
Solar powered arduino on the back of a playing card Continue Reading
Today is High Speed Photography day ! The concept is to take a ‘long’ exposure photograph, 4 seconds say, in a (very) dark room (a bathroom in our case). You end up with a completely black picture, right ? If you burst a flash (about a millisecond for a standard flash) then you get a

Introduction The Rotary Emotiphone is a vintage rotary phone that tweets mood emoticons. It has a predefined list of 10 emoticons, each assigned to a digit, so that when you are happy / sad / drunk / etc., you pick up the handset and dial a mood. Could’ve gone for more complex messages using 2-digit

In this example, you will use your Ethernet Shield and your Arduino to send and receive text strings via the UDP protocol (Universal Datagram Packet). You’ll need another device to send to and from. The Processing sketch included at the end of the code will send to and receive from your Arduino running this example.
Sending and Receiving String via UDP using Arduino Continue Reading
Have you ever wanted to impress your friends by saying something crazy like, “I think there’s going to be an earthquake soon” moments before an earthquake hits? Or do you just want some warning, a few seconds that could save your life. This project will allow you to hook up a seismic sensor to a
