After the untimely death of my Mac Mini (the last thing Apple I never buy), I recycled her limping in a clock display LEDs. Technically, there is not rocket science: an Arduino reads the time from an external clock and displays a matrix of 8×6 colored LEDs for hours, minutes, seconds and a linear array

I’m researching squeeze sensing as a mode of tactile interface. Here I will cover the process of developing a squeezeable sensor and the firmware/software concerns associated with interpreting the data from the sensor. This fulfills the “sensor project” for my class called Computational Principles in Media Arts taught in AME at ASU by Todd Ingalls
Sensing Squeeze using Arduino Continue Reading
I’m still working on the LED calculator (original idea and most recent work) — I’ve finally got ’round to adding a rotary encoder to set the target system voltage. Now you can turn the potentiometer to set the LED brightness, turn the rotary encoder to set what voltage will be used in the ultimate LED circuit, and
This is a PIR motion sensor device that works with the arduino uno. In order to make it covert enough to be placed in multiple settings and portable enough to fit most places, I decided to make the case for it appear as a speaker. The inspiration for this project: My cat is a jerk. One of his

I’m playing keyboards this fall in another rock concert to benefit the high school robotics team, and for some of the tunes I need to be able to fade an organ in and out over a period of a measure or two. My keyboards are velocity-sensitive, so if you hit the keys harder they play

This instructable will show you how to create a dice using Arduino and few components. It’s an easy and fun project, suitable for beginners and those who want to start with Arduino; it also requires a minimal amount of components. This explains how to create it in the breadboard, how to solder it and how

Hi, so me and my pal are setting up so we can make PCB´s. We are currently making a UV exposure box (possibly another instructable) and for this box, we needed a timer, so this is what we have done so far, and what we are going to do. This project is based on the

This simple device simple plays a small tune at a random interval, between 5 and 30 seconds when the lights in a room go off. It can be cleverly disguised inside a tissue box, or inside or under any number of household objects. This is a vary simple project (my first audio project) and requires vary few materials, most of

This is my second instructable. i want to share some of the basic things i made using the arduino i am so busy lately. then i got the chance to have this spare time… inspired by my former student and a fellow co league to share this arduino based wireless automation. this automation was done

In this tutorial you learn how to make a blinking clock with a difference! Updated 18/03/2013 Followers of my website would realise that I tend to make too many clocks in those tutorials. Well, I like making clocks… so here is another one. However this time I have tried to make the most simple version possible.
