Hey everyone, I finally finished my touch panel for my bedroom wall and am here to show you how i made it. Unfortunately its not installed in my wall yet as I might be moving and don’t want to make anymore holes in my walls, but its coming with me and has already proven itself […]

I was supporting a group of student on their graduation project. One of the difficulties they faced was on controlling an A/C unit with Arduino microcontroller. The first experiment we tried to work it out was by record the A/C remote control beam signal for each needed button by using the IRrecvDump code with IRremote
Follow the instructions below to build the remote control car. This project is ideal for science fair, robotics competition and university projects. The design is highly adaptable, you can modify it easily and add your own components. Table of contents Step 1: video demo Step 2: circuit diagram Step 3: Arduino code (software) Step 4:
Why make your own Arduino control system? Once I finished building my homemade telescope mount, I installed a Meade DS motor kit to power it. This system was very sluggish, lacking in power, and untrustworthy. I couldn’t modify the programming or upkeep the system either. I chose to develop my own telescope control system from

In this one, servo is programmed to be controlled by two buttons, one turns servo to the left and the other one turns it to the right. When the servo is turning, corresponding LED will be switched on to indicate the operation. Result: Because Arduino has built-in library for controlling servo, which makes servo a

This example illustrates the use of the Mouse and keyboard libraries together. Five momentary switches act as directional buttons for your cursor. When a button is pressed, the cursor on your screen will move, and a keypress will be sent to the computer. Once you have the Leonardo programmed and wired up, open up your

In this project, we will learn how to use a speaker (peizo sounder) and use switch button to change the pitch of the sound. Sorry about this one, you might find it a bit difficult to digest at first, and I didn’t realise it’s actually harder than it sounds. Anyway, spend some time on the code,

In this Instructable, I’ll be explaining how to build a motion activated alarm! It uses an Arduino microcontroller, a PIR (passive infrared) sensor, and a type of alarm. You can use an LED indicator, a buzzer, or a piezo. That’s the easy part. I will also be showing how to display to a character LCD

This instructable shows how to modify an inexpensive RC car so it can be controlled by an on-board microcontroller. You can program the controller to make the car do any number of driving patterns and stunts. Once you have the car being controlled from the on-board controller, you can add sensors for light and sound

When I say simple, I don’t mean use a speed control. But control the motor directly without any external circuitry. Here’s how: How this came about: I recently was working on an instructable about charlieplexing with an arduino. And I was wondering if the same principle would work with motors to some extent. So I came
