It isn’t hard to imagine a scenario where you are stuck at home all day with nothing to do and certain items are in short supply. Sure, bathroom tissue gets all the press, but try buying some flour or a freezer and see how far you get. Plus online shopping has given up on next […]

Have you ever heard of a Centurion minicomputer? If not, don’t feel bad — we hadn’t either, until [David Lovett] stumbled upon a semi-complete version of the 1980-ish mini in all its wood-trimmed, dust-encased glory. And what does a hacker do with such an acquisition but attempt to get it going again? Of course, getting

A very small narrow-DIP-sized, Arduino Zero compatible USB dev board (OTG enabled), with integrated buck and boost power supplies! The Arduino ecosystem provides an invaluable resource of hardware and software, which allows quick development of a myriad of projects thanks to its fruitful community. Several Arduino-compatible boards came out in the past years, to increase

Orlando Hoilett from Calvary Engineering LLC designed a versatile Li-Po battery breadboard power supply and wrote an Instructables on it. This power supply outputs 3.3V to the breadboard and takes input from a single-cell LiPo battery. The breadboard power supply also has the ability to charge the battery without needing to separate it from the circuit board. More importantly, this

Introduction The Arduino-STM32 Bluepill LED Blink project is a simple but useful microcontroller project built around the STM32 BluePill development board and tested in Proteus simulation. Its purpose is straightforward: make an LED blink at a fixed interval so you can verify that the board, pin control, and firmware logic are working correctly. Even though

Homebot Within the integration unit, core systems—power, control, and prototyping of the robot—are being converged as part of the Arduino Homebot Robot Setup. Short, flat jumpers improve breadboard wiring by keeping connections secure, tidy, and less prone to short circuits. Laying components like resistors and LEDs flat boosts durability and creates a more reliable, low-maintenance

A couple of weeks ago I presented my culmination project, framed laser harp, at New York City College of Technology. Work on it was so interesting for me, that I decided to share it here. I am an Arduino amateur and don’t have any professional experience in electrical engineering or programming. Neither am I a

This project is all about creating a simple game to test your memory. I’ll be using a Teensy 3.0 board. (If you want to know more about this board please click here to read a Getting Started Guide). This project is also 100% compatible with the Arduino. Watch the video below Step 1: Parts Required 1x Arduino

Alexa controlled timers at a glimpse. A really fancy egg-timer with added temperature control. Story Idea Both of us like to tinker with electronics and the latest hard- and software. While most projects never get out of “early-Alpha”, we wanted to create something with a prototype look&feel for quite a while now. Participating in The
Smart Kitchen Cube Continue Reading
We all know about Arduino. It is one of the most popular open source micro controller board which is highly useful for doing DIY projects. This Arduino based 3-Way Traffic Light Controller is a simple Arduino DIY project which is useful to understand the working of traffic lights which we see around us. We have covered
