If you grew up in ’80s, most likely you played an electronic toy game called Simon. In this Instructable, I will be building an Arduino kit that you can code to play Simon and other button-based games such as Whack a Mole. I developed this kit to be used by a local Girls Who Code […]

Monitoring accurately the temperature in your home is definitely one of the best way to save on your energy bill. At the same time you want to feel well in a warm home during winter time. My current thermostat only allows a static programmation: I can define a day temperature (around 19°/20° to not heat

We were struck by how attractive [mircemk’s] Arduino-based frequency counter looks. It also is a reasonably simple build. It can count up to 6.5 MHz which isn’t that much, but there’s a lot you can do even with that limitation. The LED display is decidedly retro. Inside a very modern Arduino Nano does most of the

I accumulated several printers, why… because it was cheaper to continuously buy new ones than buy the ink for the old ones. Anyways, I got tired of stacking them up in the corner and decided to pull them apart. They were a treasure trove of parts, including these nifty LED tubes. After closer investigation, I

The band Kraftwerk hit the music scene with its unique electronic sound in the 70s in Germany, opening the door for the electronic music revolution of the following decade. If you’re not familiar with the band, they often had songs with a technology theme as well, and thanks to modern microcontroller technology it’s possible to replicate

A year or so ago, I wrote up an Instructable about installing a bunch of LEDs in a Lego Mini Cooper. The innovation, such as it was, was that the LEDs could be controlled with a smartphone (or through any web browser, for that matter). As I laboriously described in that Instructable, most of the effort back
