NOTE: This instructable is now slightly old and a better machine has been made with lower cost parts and much better software that automatically allows you to “pair” new cards with new tracks as they are added to the iPod playlist. iPod playback track selection simply by putting RFID “bricks” on a table. – An

Let’s say that you’re trying to drive a few Nixie clock tubes, or you want to make a strobe light. A variable high voltage DC power supply from 50-200+ volts may be required. Transformers are terrific, but difficult to find the right one and a pain to wind. Why not use a boost converter? They’re

This is a quick arduino project that is great for beginners. Enjoy! There is a video on the last step! Step 1: What you Need To build this project you will need: 10 LEDs, any color will do. Some wire, I used a ribbon cable I had Most importantly, an Arduino Perhaps some electrical tape

A note on what this document covers The key addition to the wealth of online information about pulse counting is the method of counting pulses from multiple sources (up to 12) using continuous sampling and direct port manipulation in an Arduino sketch instead of interrupt-based counting. When tallying pulses from one or two pulse output

This project shows how to send SMS text messages to a cheap scrolling LED display via an Android app and arduino with USB host shield. The project was originally inspired by a friend wanting to make a “sexting themed” costume, with a scrolling LED display of live texts sent from people at the party. We

I bought this skull to decorate my computer desk. However, analyzing better, I could do something more interesting. I hope you enjoy. Step 1: Materials – A plastic skull – 8 screws; – Microcontroller (I used an Arduino board); – A Protoboard – A nunchuck (for nintendo wii control) with a adaptador Note: I bought

Have you wanted to make a sweet Cylon/Knight Rider (Larson) Scanner effect? But you don’t want to use up all of your Arduino IO pins? Well, you can make a nice 8 LED Scanner with a shift register IC. In this tutorial we’ll be using the 74HC595 8 Bit Shift Register, and this is what

Here is a simple tutorial to build a Distance sensor which will show the distance from the distance sensor HC-SR04 ( Or any other compatible devices) to the wall or obstacles in front of the sensor in CentiMeters. This project uses a HCR-SR04 distance sensor and atmega 328 or any other atmega chip which is programmed

The 3D LED Cube is a really cool device that enables you to see in three dimensions, get some depth perception and has 512 LED’s or 512 pixels. It is based on an Arduino Uno which is an Atmel AVR microcontroller on a development board with some standard interfacing pinouts that allow you to quickly
