You are building a cheap soil moisture sensor so the brain can read the amount of moisture in the soil. The version we are building is very low tech, but it is also very cheap and easy to build. It consists of a block of packing foam with a couple of wires shoved into it. […]
When I got my Arduino protoshield from sparkfun, I wanted to make something cool with it. And since I had seen a few Theremin projects before, and already thought about making some, I finally made one, using the Parallax PING sonar sensor. Here are some informations about how I made it. You can see all
Overview In this lab, you’ll build an alternative computer mouse using an Arduino Leonardo using pushbuttons to move the mouse left, right, up and down. You’ll see the difference between reading a digital input continually and reading for a change of state. (:toc Table of Contents:) Parts For this lab you will need the following

Remote control, it has been a very profound things in the past. When I was a child, I always imagine that I have an equipment which can control all home appliances. Now, this has become a reality, and it is quite easy. Then I will step by step to show you how to remote control
Remote control via GPRS or GSM SMS using Arduino Continue Reading
I was going to make a huge write-up on this, but I can’t be bothered right now. I’ll probably do something about it later. Until then, have an Arduino sketch. If you don’t know what you’re doing with it then chances are you don’t have an Arduino, in which case the file is useless to
Here I will show you an overview on how to make a robotic talking turret, loosely based off of the turrets from the popular game, Portal. This instructable should help anyone wanting to do an animatronics project. For more detailed pictures, go to: http://razorconcepts.net/turret.html This project require some experience with tools, electronic circuits, and maybe
RGB LEDs are fairly useful in projects allowing for a wide range of color from a single unit. However they can be a pain in the neck to work with and they too often come with little or no documentation. I searched for some time to find a common resource on them and this Instructable

Introduction We built a video game system that can play either Snakes or Pong. We saw a project called “Arduino Pong” and wanted to recreate it with our own twist. Description Parts Needed: Arduino Uno Video Game Shield 2 LEDs 2 non-latching push buttons 2 Wii Nun Chucks Plenty of Wires Resistors Plexiglas and plywood

I am a big fan of programming but I like to keep it down to 555 timer but when it comes to complex functions like flashing a LED in a certain pattern programming is necessary.One day while surfing through the I came across something known as Morse code.I decided to read it and found it totally awesome.I tried to make
One of the goals of Movable Party is to provide an interactive experience for audiences/participants. Since power will be generated from a hub motor attached to the rear wheel of each bike (see this post), the speed of the rear wheel directly translates to the amount of power generated. Detecting how fast the rear wheel
