Most of the buttons on a remote control are never used. So why not use them to control appliances and other electronics around your house. In this project, I am going to show you how to use an Arduino to decode the signal from your remote and use it to make an outlet switch that […]

The ElectroFried is a game with a shocking fun level. ElectroFried is developed for the Global Game Jam 2011 in Antwerp in design center the winkelhaak. The Team Jekkos/ Cinezaster decided to make a simple game based on colliding electrons. With a nasty side effect, a electro shock. As a input devised I hacked a old

First of all lets get this out of the way… It’s so bad This is going to be showing how to hack the Nintendo Powerglove. By hack I mean tap into the flex sensors and use the buttons and d pad and add anything you want. In my case I added an accelerometer. I got mine from

Electrical Components The electrical components are the five motors and their associated circuits, the buttons, and the thermocouple. The Circuit We are controlling two stepper motors, three servos, a thermocouple, and a set of buttons using an Arduino. Our final circuit diagram looks like this: Building the Circuit 1. Stepper motors: The first step we
This is a submission about an Arduino in Action from Memphis, Tennnessee by Guy Cobb. Here is what he posted: Hello from Memphis, Tennessee. I wanted to send all of you at the Arduino headquarters this photo of my office with my Arduino “wallpaper” and Arduino earthquake detector. My Arduino project incorporates a Mega, Uno,

This lab most recently revamped by Edgar Berdahl and Wendy Ju. Chris Carlson, possibly Bill Verplank, and others have likely contributed. For this lab you need your Satellite CCRMA kit, a laptop computer with Ethernet adaptor to program it, and some headphones with a mini 1/8″ (2.54mm) stereo jack. You are also invited to bring

I have been making my own Arduino’s on strip-board but recently bought some of the Evil Mad Scientist ATmegaxx8 Target Boards. While they weren’t designed as an Arduino board they are perfect to use as they have: – places for the crystal and capacitors (XTL and C1, C2) or resonator – place for the power

Design: The rotational motion produced by the motor is transformed into linear motion through the use of a standard 1/2″-13 threaded rod as a lead screw. To account for angular misalignments in the rod the motor is not attached to it directly, but rather through a belt and pulley system. The ball bearing screen door

In this project I take an Arduino Mini Pro connect it to a custom made Etch A Sketch panel and use it to control a Blacknose laser cutter. The result is hours of crazy laser cutting fun, which we will be taking round most of the UK Maker Faires this year for JustAddSharks.co.uk The Etch

Age Group: 13 – 18 My experimental rover that I built from a Roll-A-Way alarm clock that was on clearance for $5. It can be controlled via the numeric section of a keyboard when the serial port is connected to a computer or a Wii Nunchuck attached directly to it, using either the joystick portion,
