This Instructable will walk you through my process of making a Slot Machine costume with addressable leds controlled with an arduino! Step 2: Lets Get started Picture set up: I found my slot picture online that the best graphic that when enlarged would stay nice and clear. Be sure to follow the directions on

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

With this project you can build an RFID time-clock system to keep track of employees, children and more. Updated 18/03/2013 Recently I was listening to a friend who has three teenage children, of whom needed to arrive home before their parent. Unfortunately the parent needs to work all day and arrives home in the evening,

In this tutorial you can make an RFID access system. It’s very simple and can be used with a wide variety of end-uses. Updated 18/03/2013 The purpose of this project is to prototype a basic RFID access system. Although it is not that complicated, this article is my response to a kit reviewed in the Australian “Silicon

Time for something different – a single button combination lock. Allow me to explain… Updated 18/03/2013 Normally a combination lock would require the entry of a series of unique numbers in order to unlock something or start an action. For example: A more contemporary type of lock could be controlled electronically, for example by a

Time for a follow-up to the Single Button Combination Lock by creating another oddball type of switch/lock. To activate this switch we make use of a Parallax Ping))) Ultrasonic sensor, an Arduino-style board and some other hardware – to make a device that receives a four-number code which is made up of the distance between a hand

Drifter is based on a cheap RC toy car I found at Toys’r’us, named ‘Fast lane Monster Drift’. I think it’s the same model Frits has been used in an episode of TLIHR. It doesn’t work well, you get what you pay for. But it is a good hacking platform. There is no much space left for

Introduction Time for another instalment in my highly-irregular series of irregular clock projects. In this we have “Clock Four” – a scrolling text clock. After examining some Freetronics Dot Matrix Displays in the stock, it occurred to me that it would be neat to display the time as it was spoken (or close to it)

Recently a family member had his furnace fail while he was away from his house for a long period of time in the winter. His pipes burst and caused quite the mess. This project describes a temperature sensor that broadcasts the temperature in his house to the pachube data logging website. This allows him to check on

Following the instructable here, I was able to turn an old digital camera into a time lapse camera using an arduino, a relay, and an open source software program called makeAVI (windows). To modify the camera I disassembled the camera cover and removed the button that activates the shutter. It is difficult to tell from the
