Hi there, You’re going to transform any RC toy car into a big message writer that can be used to transform your city squares into witty messages, political statements or beautiful drawings, and for less than 20$. The idea is to drop a trail of powder or paint behind the car to write the message.

*NOTE* THIS PROJECT IS DONE BY A GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC. Concept: Trigger gun when laser is blocked by intruding object. Note: Tilting is included for expandability but not used in this project. Skill Level: Basic soldering and basic metal works Things You Need: Toy Gun(Any will do, preferably a semi-auto) Continuous Rotation

Conducting energy through people to stimulate tangible public interactions http://ijustwannaholdyourhand.com/ http://vimeo.com/56350598 What did we do? We put together an Arduino, some wire, a Mac mini and a DLP Projector, then created a pair of hands out of aluminum. We additionally 3D printed some wall plates that resemble light switch plates, but instead of holding an

Hi everyone, Lucy Matchett, Nicole Yi Messier, and Joselyn McDonald (Snax_and_Macs) made a remote flower-watering device so you can water your loved ones’ plants when you water your own. We used Arduinos, a photoresistor, a servo, Arduino and Processing sketches, Spacebrew, and a little elbow grease to put it all together. We’ve posted the instructions,

This is a super simple and easily customizable little synthesizer. This is my first time using the Arduino and also with acrylic, both I found very fun to work with though. This is also my first Instructables so hopefully I have explained this well enough. Step 1: Part and tools For the innards: Arduino Uno

I design and create this Palm Arduino V3 prototype PCB, as I was tired of recreating Arduino Compatible on perf board every time I prototyping a new project, especially when I had to spend a lot of time tracing the wiring to see that I made the right connection. I design this Palm Arduino (version

Arduino clones are ubiquitous. A quick web search or a look at any electronics hobbyist website will turn up some kind of Arduino-like microcontroller board. Studies have shown that the absolute last thing the world needs is another Arduino clone that adds nothing or very little to existing designs. One might surmise that these are

After posting up the v1 of my project many people requested an more detailed instructable. So i decided to start with a new one with a little upgrades to my previous instructable. What does this thing do? Well its quite simple it is just an replacement for an distance tape. It can also measure temperature,
