By popular request this is a new wireless version of the Visual Network Threat Level Indicator. This uses a Roving Networks WiFly RN-XV Module to do 802.11 WiFi along with an Arduino to display the threat level on your network. Network monitoring is very important in todays world. The internet is a scary place. People have taken

A quick demo video for your pleasure. This is an instructable for a target practice system for airsoft and nerf weapons. The system has been designed to test a shooter’s reaction times and accuracy. Sam and I have been meaning to do this project for a while, and when the microcontroller competition opened, coinciding nicely with

This example demonstrates how to send multiple values from the Arduino board to the computer. The readings from three potentiometers are used to set the red, green, and blue components of the background color of a Processing sketch or Max/MSP patch. Software Required Processing or Max/MSP version 5 Circuit Connect analog sensors to analog input pins

Demonstrates the use of analog output (Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)) to fade an LED. PWM is a technique for getting an analog-like behavior from a digital output by switching it off and on very fast. Circuit An LED connected to digital output pin 9 through a 220-ohm resistor. Schematic image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit

Once upon a time, 2 girls greatly enjoyed walking in the rain with umbrellas. They decided the enjoyment of this experience could be maximized by building their own pressure-activated web of LEDs to install under their umbrella. Thus, with the help of an Arduino, some 4051 multiplexers, a lot of wire and a lot of
