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 […]

One of the things I look forward to with summers in Pennsylvania are fireflies in my backyard. I recently taught myself Adruino programming for the purpose of making this simple project. It’s a great program to start with and is easy enough for any programmer, novice to expert, to build, modify and have fun with

Let’s learn how to read a potentiometer, a type of rotating variable resistor, using Arduino’s analog input! We’ll connect up a simple circuit using a solderless breadboard and use some simple Arduino code to control a single LED. So far you’ve learned to control LEDs with Arduino’s output, and you learned to detect a pushbutton’s state (on

In this tutorial you will learn how to use one water flow sensor with an Arduino board. The water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body, a water rotor and a hall-effect sensor. When the water flows through the rotor, rotor rolls and the speed of it changes with a different rate of flow.

The TinyFPGA boards from Luke Valenty (TinyFPGA) are a series of low-cost, open-source FPGA development boards. These boards offer an inexpensive way to get an introduction to the world of FPGAs. If you have ever considered working with an FPGA before, you will know how difficult they could be especially for those new to the

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
Arduino Simple Memory Game Continue Reading
In the following Instructable, we’ll show you how you can make your next Arduino project in just 5 minutes. It’s simple, easy and fun. Step 1: Plan It! 1. Go to Circuito.io 2. Select the components in the screenshot, add a description and your email and click “Send” 3. Instantly receive schematic and code from Circuito.io.
