I recently started using Arduino to make my projects. As a designer I love making custom interfaces for my games/interactive projects. The one problem I came across in that using serial communication is quite complicated and prone to problems and bugs and I wanted a quick and easy solution to allow me to use external

Two teams answer questions by pushing their button. They can score an amount of points equal to the random number of lights lit on their button. This requires some strategic choices and luck. When the teamscores meet on the large led strip, they can take away points from the other team. First one to the

Designing hardware logic circuits can be fun. The old school way to do this was with NAND gates, on a bread board, wired up with jumper wires. This is still possible, but it doesn’t take much before the number of gates gets out of hand. A newer option is to use an FPGA (Field Programmable

The Candied Dead Baby is an Arduino-controlled interactive halloween decoration. It has been designed, created and assembled by three industrial design engeneering students from Elisava. Using servomotors and ultrasonic distance sensors as well as a buzzer, we’ve designed a product that when an ultrasonic sensor catches movement in front of it, activates a servomotor and a

Are you prepared to experience the spookiest night of the year? Grab some candy from this basket if you’re brave enough, but be careful: Mr. Skeleton doesn’t like sharing too much. Happy Halloween! Halloween basket with built-in distance detector; when trying to reach for candy inside, the skull will light up its eyes and move
In this project, I have shown how to make a Smart Home Control with Arduino Uno and Nextion touch screen to control door lock system, temperature and daytime monitoring. During the article, I have shown all the steps to make this smart home system. This Home Automation system has the following features: Control Lock –

I made an Arduino quadruped robot “by-hand,” meaning without a kit or a 3D printer. It walks using a “long step” gait, which can be very smooth and natural looking. It didn’t quite come out the way I wanted though. However, to make my robot unique, I had the idea to create a skimming-type motion

If you’ve even seen a fake candle you have probably noticed how it doesn’t look realistic. Whether you’re trying to add some atmosphere to a dinner or light up a jack’o-lantern, your choices are limited. A real candle has a fire hazard, but a fake candle will look tacky. If only there were a safe

Welcome to my latest instructable to build a self contained information station! This awesome device uses an Arduino Uno with an ethernet shield to connect to the internet and pull down latest news and local weather and display it on an LCD display. This project is relitavely inexpensive and has many options for expansion and
