I created this Theremin like device after seeing this article in Make magazine: http://m-cdn.dashdigital.com/make/vol15/?pg=69#pg67 While this looked pretty straight forward it turned out to be a bit much for me at the time. But after much effort, I got it to work pretty good. I had trouble getting the laser to aim correctly so I

We are a generation that love sound and light – can’t do without them really. Our most preferred time of day is night, or what we would call evening. We are particularly well acquainted with technology; doesn’t hurt these days. Our prerequisite for everything is that it be ‘cool’. Put it all together and in

This instructable will show you how to construct a laser tripwire that can twitter and grab an image from a webcam, as well as execute any command you can put in a bash script. This instructable is actually quite simple and is even suitable as a beginner arduino project. It requires a GNU/linux (or possibly Mac) operating
Twittering Laser Tripwire with Webcam Capture using Arduino Continue Reading
This is a simple arduino based project that consists of a laser tripwire that, when triggered, will begin a countdown sequence on red, orange and green LEDs. I designed this to be an easy project for someone learning how arduinos work (like me). This is my first instructable so please bare with me 🙂 (I’ll

This project uses an Arduino, a pair of speakers, and a laser pointer to create a laser projector able to trace out designs in a dark room. To power it, I’ve cannibalized a PC ATX power supply capable of delivering plenty of current for the speakers. Most of this project was directly adapted from the

*** I AM THIRTEEN. I REALLY ENJOY PUTTING TOGETHER THESE INSTRUCTABLES. PLEASE SHOW SUPPORT BY VOTING FOR ME IN THE LASER CUTTER CONTEST – http://www.instructables.com/contest/epilog3/*** I started thinking about this project a couple of months ago now. A laser tripwire that can log when the beam is broken and has the ability to take a

This summer, my hackerspace LVL1 (in Louisville, Ky) got an awesome laser cutter http://fslaser.com/40w-deluxe-hobby-laser-engraver-and-cutter. LVL1 is an awesome community of creative folks that like to build stuff. You can always check out what we are up to at http://www.lvl1.org. If you like instructables and making stuff, you should see if there is a hackerspace in

The CatBot is an autonomous laser toy for your cat. You may say “But Joe, isn’t the laser pointer the best toy for the lazy cat owner?” I’d have to say no, the CatBot takes one step further. Using two servos, an Arduino and a cheap $3 laser you can provide your cat with endless

*NOTE* THIS PROJECT IS DONE BY A GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC. Concept: Trigger gun when laser is blocked by intruding object. Note: Tilting is included for expandability but not used in this project. Skill Level: Basic soldering and basic metal works Things You Need: Toy Gun(Any will do, preferably a semi-auto) Continuous Rotation

Almost inevitably, when I try to climb the same route I’ll forget exactly what sequence of holds they used and end up following a slightly different path. Even when I remember exactly which course to follow, I’ll still wonder whether I’m doing it as quickly as the previous climber. Yes, I know that skill in
