RFID based projects are one of the most popular Arduino projects out there and we have also built a couple of them here too, but I recently came across an RFID access control project by hwhardsoft that was built using the ArduiTouch MKR enclosures. The ready-made nature of the enclosures and their existence for different kinds of […]

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

Are you a math aficionado in need of a new desk toy? Then do we have the project for you. With nothing more than an Arduino and a seven-segment LED module, [Cristiano Monteiro] has put together a little gadget that will slowly work its way through the digits of Pi forever…or until you get bored of looking
SIMPLE ARDUINO BUILD LETS YOU KEEP AN EYE ON PI Continue Reading
Over the years, and especially lately, we’ve seen tons of single-board retrocomputer builds. That’s fine with us — the more, the merrier. But they all start to run together a bit, with little to distinguish between them. Not so this about-as-compact-as-possible 6502 computer that fits on a single breadboard. Now, when you do the math, it

Wassup Makers!! In this Instructables we will learn how to interface an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to the NodeMCU board. These 16×2 LCDs are very popular and broadly used in electronics projects as they are good for displaying information like sensor data from your project, and also they are very cheap. Step 1: Things Needed We need few components to get

Particle Photon is a tiny micro controller, just about the size of an arduino nano. But the photon is designed for easy IoT prototyping, it supports OTA updates to its firmware. So all we have to do is get it connected to the internet and we could do all the programming wireless, the photon uses a

Particle Industries endpoint and repeater development kit is designed for IoT projects and prototyping Particle’s Xenon is a powerful mesh-enabled development kit that can act as either an endpoint or repeater for Particle mesh networks. It is based on the Nordic nRF52840 and has built-in battery-charging circuitry so it is easy to connect a Li-Po and deploy a

A disclaimer right up front, I didn’t shrink the remotes and that’s not a photo of my remotes through a microscope. But what I did do was shrink them down to the buttons I use the most. Not even sure what most of the others do! However, most of you will know what this image
Honey I Shrunk the Remotes! Continue Reading
I am Crius and I LOVE MIDI Controllers! The last couple of years I started learning about electronics from nothing to be able to build my own MIDI controllers that would serve my needs , taste and be cheaper overall in comparison with the branded products. Crius “OctaPot” MIDI Mixer consists of 8 potentiometers with which we can

In 2019 Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience Kelly Lambert and her research colleagues published a journal article called “Enriched Environment Exposure Accelerates Rodent Driving Skills.” This article explains “The research team built a tiny car for the rats out of a clear plastic food container on wheels, with an aluminum floor and three copper bars functioning as a
