nspired by drj113’s great instructable on making a word clock, I wanted to make my own. After seeing the (extremely overpriced) commercial “qlocktwo” word clock, I decided to borrow its smooth glossy black design while basing the innards of my clock on drj113’s design. In the end, I managed to stuff the arduino and LED’s

In order to realise the “music garden”,the most important part is the Arduino code and circuit diagram. First of all,I will present my Arduino code:(I will show you the way I think as a flow chart at first) Flow Chart: Details:this flow chart is a mode for one single flower pot IRDs means the sensor

I recently watched an episode of Stan Lee’s Superhumans which featured a blind man who used a series of clicks, like a bat, to echo locate his surroundings. I got to thinking about other blind people and their ability to navigate freely – without the use of a guide dog or cane. I came up

Introduction The Hobbyduino Mini is a clone of the Arduino main-board. It contains a ATMega328 processor programmed with the Arduino bootloader. The Hobbyduino does not contain the circuitry for USB communication. I opted to rely on the FTDI232R serial boards to handle the USB-to-Serial protocol. Here is the one I use but, others are available. The

What’s all this? This instructable will explain how to build a fairly basic but working spectrophotometer out of easily sourceable parts. Of course, this device is nothing compared to a commercial spectrophotometer, but it will allow the builder to understand how such a device works. Huh? What are you talking about?! A spectrophotometer measures the

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you need a special hardware programmer and suitable hex files to program the Atmel AVR chip. Fortunately, Arduino is a beginner-friendly platform

Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated (PWM) channels to fulfil your requirements! Just follow the schematic diagram to complete the construction, and use any standard 9VDC Arduino power source to

Have you ever wished lunchtime were longer, but didn’t know where to find those few extra minutes? Well, wish no longer! Thanks to great in advances in clock technology, I present to you a clock that speeds up 20% every day at 11:00 and slows down 20% every day at 11:48, giving you an extra

Previously, we introduced the Arduino’s analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in detail, looking at successive-approximation A-D conversion and how it’s the best compromise between speed and cost. This time, we start putting some of that theory into practice by building a stereo peak-program meter. Our Peak Program Meter (pictured above) takes audio from any phone or tablet.

MIDI BASS PEDAL ARDUINO UNIT The MIDI Bass Pedal circuit is capable of encoding any number of momentary action, push to make, single pole single throw (SPST), switches from 1 up to 30 to produce the equivalent MIDI note-on/note-off data commands. The encoded switches are wired via IN4148 diodes. The keys are arranged in an
