Generate sound or output analog voltages with an Arduino. This Instructable will show you how to set up a really basic digital to analog converter so you can start generating analog waves of all shapes and sizes from a few digital pins on an Arduino. (This article is a companion to another Instructable I’ve written […]

Today, I’m going to show you how to make an Arduino motor shield (driver) at a low cost. It works splendidly, its posses almost all the characteristics of the original Arduino motor shield. It’s almost considered as a clone. The original Arduino motor shield has the same motor driver chip (L298), the only difference with it,

This project was the result of an urge to contribute something to the Creative Games section of my kids’ elementary school fair. The kids loved it for it’s simple old-school game aesthetic mixed with Wii-style and Kinect-style video game control. It’s a spin-off project of an earlier Ball & Plate experiment mentioned here in the Instructables

I will demonstrate how to create a 7 segment display using LEDs. Use Arduino in conjunction to make countdown timers, basic text displays, and additional features. I enjoy creating unique projects. I looked through all of instructables and couldn’t find anything similar to this. Actually, I looked on Google but found no results. This idea

You may be wondering, what is a PIP-Boy exactly? If you don’t know, a PIP-Boy is a tool used by the main character in the well-liked Fallout video game series for navigating, detecting radiation, storing/playing data, and managing inventory. As a huge enthusiast of the franchise, I chose to create my own version, but not

I started learning Arduino a couple of years ago and started playing around with a 16×2 LCD display that uses the Hitachi HD44780 chipset. I soon found out that the screen provides 8 character slots that are customizable. I found a project in which someone used the slots to create their own special characters, which

I was supporting a group of student on their graduation project. One of the difficulties they faced was on controlling an A/C unit with Arduino microcontroller. The first experiment we tried to work it out was by record the A/C remote control beam signal for each needed button by using the IRrecvDump code with IRremote
I am presenting a compact design of a stripboard Arduino board (DIYduino) that includes a 2A motor driver and has additionally the functionality of a sensor shield. The 2-channel version cost approximately $29.43 and is more affordable compared to $39.00 for a commercially available system consisting of an Arduino Uno, $21.50, a sensor shield, $8.50,
