This instructable was made as part of the CS graduate course “Tangible Interactive Computing” at the University of Maryland, College Park taught by Professor Jon Froehlich. The course focused on exploring the materiality of interactive computing and, in the words of MIT Professor Hiroshii Ishii, sought to “seamlessly couple the dual worlds of bits and […]

Servo Cable The continuous rotation servos that come with the BOE Shield-Bot have a 3-wire cable for connecting it to the power and controller. The black wire is the ground, the red wire is the power (positive) and the white wire (sometimes yellow, depending on the servo) is the signal wire. The signal wire is

Hey Arduino fans! Here is an ‘ible for making a device that turns TVs on when you want them off, and off then you want them on! If you hide it in something inconspicuous, it would make a great April Fools joke or gag gift. And the best part is that the total parts cost

Bring Touch Control to the Arduino. Use interesting touch sensors like Carrots or Beets to make a “Beetbox”. In this instructable you will learn: * How to use the Cap Sense library to make Arduino responsive to touch * How adding a Wave Shield (and some root vegetables), you can make a “Beetbox” Step 1:

This sketch uses the Serial.parseInt() function to locate values separated by a non-alphanumeric character. Often people use a comma to indicate different pieces of information (this format is commonly referred to as comma-separated-values), but other characters like a space or a period will work too. The values are parsed into ints and used to determine the color

This example demonstrates how to debounce an input, which means checking twice in a short period of time to make sure it’s definitely pressed. Without debouncing, pressing the button once can appear to the code as multiple presses. Makes use of the millis() function to keep track of the time when the button is pressed. Circuit image
