Introduction This tutorial will walk you through downloading, installing, and testing the Arduino software (also known as the Arduino IDE – short for Integrated Development Environment). Before you jump to the page for your operating system, make sure you’ve got all the right equipment. What you will need: A computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) An

There are a lot of LED cubes on Instructables, so why do another? Most are for small cubes consisting of 27 or 64 LEDs, rarely larger since they are limited to the number of outputs available on the microcontroller. This cube will be 512 LEDs, and will only need 11 output wires from the Arduino.

Here’s a fun system designed to take care of some of the headaches involved in breadboarding a circuit. It is is a simple set of template files drawn to scale with real world electronic components. Using a vector drawing program you simply move the components onto the breadboard template, draw a few wires and print

UPDATE 22-12-2014 Instructables user mattpbooth has updated the code and is hosting it on github: https://github.com/mattpbooth/ArduinoNESController… Thanks Matt! UPDATE 03-12-2011 Replaced a println with print (derp). UPDATE 01-12-2011 Remade all code from scratch. Remade ‘ible code section; Now includes a ‘Processing COM port config for dummies’ Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present 8bit pleasure.. yours

What is a tilt sensor? Tilt sensors allow you to detect orientation or inclination. They are small, inexpensive, low-power and easy-to-use. If used properly, they will not wear out. Their simplicity makes them popular for toys, gadgets and appliances. Sometimes they are referred to as “mercury switches”, “tilt switches” or “rolling ball sensors” for obvious

If you ever wanted to integrate RFID functionality into your project, this small tutorial might help you accomplish that. I used the RDM630 module from seeedstudio in its UART version. It comes on a small board with presoldered connectors which fits perfectly on a breadboard. You only need to connect the antenna to the two pin socket.

Seeing so many persistence of vision ideas on the web was too tempting not to try one. After considering several different motors to drive a display, a ceiling fan seemed to run at just the right speed, is out of the way, and very quiet compared with alternatives. With a micro controller based on the

n present time home office appliance controlling is common thing. Today for controlling home/offices appliances, machineries in companies/industries uses different types of automation systems like DTMF controlled, GSM controlled and many others. So here this project is made for interfacing MATLAB (Graphic User Interfacing) and Home/office/industries automation using Arduino and MATLAB. Here MATLAB is interfaced with

Ever wanted to be “logged in” to your AVR microcontroller? Ever thought it would be cool to “cat” a register to see its contents? Have you always wanted a way to power up and power down individual peripheral sub-systems of your AVR or Arduino in *real time* ? Me, too, so I wrote the AVR

Sound is produced by a remote speaker, and data about chime strikes is uploaded to Pachube. Step 1: Brainstorming for a device that would represent ourselves Our goal was to come up with a project which represented our personalities,
