I’ve been wanting to start exploring the world of microcontrollers and programming for some time now, so I came up with this simple project which uses an app called “Blynk” to allow you to wirelessly control an Arduino board through your wifi. Now obviously the end result isn’t the most practical device you’ll ever build,

Update 16.04.2015 just thought how would a “cool” kit look a like, so I get an altoids tin box eat all the thinks inside and put all necassary parts inside. 😉 a new project from good old Germany. I got some of those very popular FM radio modules at banggood.com, and was thinking how to

This tutorial will show you how to build a jacket with turn signals that will let people know where you’re headed when you’re on your bike. We’ll use conductive thread and sewable electronics so your jacket will be soft and wearable and washable when you’re done. Enjoy! A version of this tutorial is also on my

What’s that smell? It’s noxious gas of course! If you’re in an environment where there’s a possibility of gaseous release of which you’d rather not breathe, why not build an automatic system for sensing and alerting you? The design for the Environmental Alert System is driven by my motivation to understand the concentrations of different

In this project, we will use the digital pins and screen of the 4Duino to create a 5×7 LED matrix controller with a user graphical interface. An LED matrix is essentially many LEDs packaged in a dot grid format in order to produce pictures or large text. They’re commonly used for signage purposes in the
LED Matrix Controller Using 4Duino Continue Reading
So far, we have only built 3 LED cubes. Our first cube is a 4x4x4 LED cube and though we managed to successfully complete it without too much difficulty, we did not find much excitement and satisfaction experimenting with it. Next, we designed, created and built our second cube, an 8x8x8 LED cube driven using
