Does it happen to you to slide your finger across your phone’s screen and turn the alarm off … just because you have automated this task and don’t even need to open your eyes? Well, let me present to you the alarm clock that WILL MAKE YOU: ….. stand from the bed ….. open your […]
Rather than use the USB to power my Arduino board with a handy trip to the electronics store with some more knowledgeable people than I, I have constructed a 9Volt DC power supply. Taking a 9 volt battery, a 9v battery holder and a 2.1mm coaxial DC jack (positive tip) I have quickly soldered a
This instructable will help you understand the iPod serial protocol, and how to send commands to an iPod using an Arduino. This instructable is only meant to show the basics of the protocol and is by no means complete. I only had enough hardware space for 4 buttons, and the software reflects that. Hardware Needed
This ones quite simple, just mix/ crossfade 3 separate LEDs using Phase Width Modulation (PWM) and Arduino. You will need 3 LEDs, I’m using a 5mm Red, Green and Blue so I can make the full light colour spectrum (When all combined they make white light). If you look at an LED you will see
OK, I will admit that I am a little obsessed with things Mayan at the moment, which explains why I wanted to make a Mayan Tzolkin calendar. I modeled the general layout and fabrication on the very nice Sleek Word Clock by scottbez1 which you can see here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Sleek-word-clock/?ALLSTEPS. You can read about the Tzolkin Mayan
This board needs FTDI cable to program it. It is not Arduino compatible in the meaning of taking shields (just like every small form factor board isn’t). But it has all the same pins (exept 3.3V power and Vin*) available as female headers. The input and output pins that are right next to each other

Purpose This project was built for the Things that Think undergraduate/graduate class CSCI 4830-7 and CSCI 7000-7 for the University of Colorado at Boulder. Our group consisted of one graduate and two undergraduate students. We worked on the project for 8 weeks, most of the time trying to learn how to program the Arduino and
Very simple basics of building a circuit to control a servo using Arduino and PWM For this you will need: Arduino Board – I’m using a Duemilanova ATMEGA328 Arduino Sketch software – I’m using version 0015 Arduino Servo Library found here save it to lib/targets/libraries if you don’t already have it A Servo that requires
Hello, this is my very first step-by-step instructable, and today, we’re going to learn how the sensors in your android smartphone can communicate with your arduino. In modern smartphones, there are a lot of useful sensors for an ingenious arduino project. I have a motorola DEFY, for example and it has (at least) 6 sensors
Use your android phone sensors on the arduino Continue Reading
If you want to RESET Arduino from the beginning without manually pressing the RESET button, there are a few ways. Here are two ways, using minimal wiring / circuitry. Step 1: Using 1 wire connected to the RESET pin 1. electronically, using only 1 wire connecting an OUTPUT pin (12 in this example) to the
