I had initially planned to do an LCD tutorial a little further down the line, but there was very high demand for it, and I already had a circuit assembled for testing the new LCD that element14 sent me to evaluate. So, this seemed like an appropriate time to roll it out! In this episode,

You can add Strings together in a variety of ways. This is called concatenation and it results in the original String being longer by the length of the String or character array with which you concatenate it. The + operator allows you to combine a String with another String, with a constant character array, an

I have a problem, I’m trying to lose weight but I love snacking late at night. And no one knows that I even do it. That being one of my biggest hurdles, I figured why not include all my social media friends and followers in helping me. Whether they know it or not. So I

When you flip a switch, the coffin lid opens and a smiling red eyed ghost arises. The ghost flings some candy, pushes the switch back and returns to rest. Then, the coffin lid closes. Step 1: Major parts include: 4.5 rpm motor #155821 Jameco.com 1.8 rpm motor #176050 Jameco.com Two shaft couplers #162270 Jameco.com Servo

Welcome to my ‘green’ instructable! I am going to show you how to use an Arduino, two servo motors a temperature sensor and some metal (or wood) to make a digital thermostat for a through-wall HVAC unit. According to CB Richard Ellis (a major real estate firm), New York City is a renters market, with

Have you ever needed to count something? Sure, we all need to count change, count blessings, and occasionally count cards, but that’s not really the kind of counting I’m talking about. In this Instructable, I will elucidate how Counting ICs operate, and show how to connect one to a microcontroller so you can see exactly

first what youll notice my grammer isnt the best 🙂 ok what youll need: 1 transister/mosfet that can handle the current for the water gun motor, this is the one i used – http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10213 – then a diode, i used this one – http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8589 – then a 10k ohm resistor, then a PIR, i didnt use this one but it should

A while back I saw an EMF (Electromagnetic Field) Detector at makezine.com that used a led bargraph. I decided to modify it to use a 7-Segment LED Display! Here’s my project. Sorry I don’t have any pictures of it in use. Hopefully I can post some soon. Credit goes to Aaron ALAI for the original

Goals Hello all. I hope to please share a little robot that I have just finished building. There are many Ping Boat, perhaps with a tutorials and display less so without pretension, will illustrate what I could do. I gave myself the goal of realizing a robot that avoids obstacles, hence the use of Ping,
