What Is It? As the name suggests, in this project you will learn how to create a display for your bike that consists of both a speedometer and an odometer. Indicating real time speed and distance travelled. The total cost of this project comes to around 15 USD (not including the bike or the Arduino) yet the effort spent is worth

-This project was conducted as part of the Computational Design and Digital Fabrication seminar in the ITECH masters program.- Know someone overly extroverted and who just can’t stay quiet? This guide will show you how to create an inflatable necklace that chokes the person wearing it whenever he tries to speak… Joking! Let’s not choke

This project started all the way back when I was in 6th grade and completely new to electronics, when I thought to myself, “Hey, let’s build a drone….it shouldn’t be that hard……right?” Yea, guess what, it’s hard. Almost 4 years later, this project is coming to a close, and along the way, I have built

Pantomime is a configurable gesture controller unit that can be used for reliable human-machine interaction. For the demo purpose, we have shown a use case of the Pantomime in a chassis of 4WD, which here can be easily altered with a smart wheelchair. The Pantomime responds to the hand gestures to control the 4wd rover.

Introduction As the vital energy sources driving technology innovation, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) and Lithium-polymer (Li-po) batteries have emerged as leading power solutions across electronics – from laptops, smartphones, and electric vehicles to drones. Despite harnessing lithium, Li-ion and Li-po batteries feature unique attributes, tailoring them to specific applications and uses yet universally enabling devices to unleash

First of all,this is my first Instructable, and I’m not a native English speaker (or writer), therefore I apologize in advance for the overall low quality . However, I hope that this tutorial can be helpful for people using a heart rate (HR) monitor system (composed by a chest strap belt transmitter and a receiver
I’ve always wanted to do an Arduino project, but never had any great ideas for one until my family was invited to a fancy hat party. With two weeks lead time, I was curious if I could both plan and execute a motion sensitive LED animation hat. Turns out I could! I probably went a

Have you ever been to a concert with no way to find the friends you were supposed to meet, seems like things could not get worse but there is no signal and Google map is not working (even when it does, it won’t pinpoint where they are)? Yes, I know a lot of people can
Some days ago I bought a laser rangefinder (Uni-T UT390b, f.e. http://www.dx.com/de/p/uni-t-ut390b-45m-laser-dist…) to realise a simple LiDAR. The rangefinder has an accuracy of +/- 2mm and is able to measure distances up to 45m. This will be enough for my living room 😉 You’ll also need: * Arduino Mega (because of more than one Serial

LED strips are a very fun and effective way to give lots of glow and color to a project. In this Instructable you will learn about the basic kinds of strips and how to hook them up to the Intel Edison with Arduino breakout board. These circuits include hardware needed for external power and how
