Using a laser pointer and a matrix LED as a two dimensional input device

Using a laser pointer and a matrix LED as a two-dimensional input device

Laser Command is a game which I build using a 8×8 matrix LED and an Arduino Mini. This game was developed as a “sample” class project in S10-05833 Gadgets, Sensors and Activity Recognition in HCI. The class is taught by Scott Hudson at Carnegie Mellon University, and I’m doing TA for the class. The name […]

Arduino Flashing LED Top Tube Pad

Flashing LED Top Tube Pad for your bike using Arduino

Well it’s that time of year again. That’s right, the sun is going down early, and it’s getting hard to avoid logging some miles on your bike after dark. You likely have great lights front and rear already, but what about on the sides of your bike? When crossing intersections, and cruising down those long

Arduino LED Cube 1

4x4x4 LED-cube based Arduino and Flower protoboard

This instructable will teach you how to build your 4x4x4 LED cube with Flower ProtoBoard and control by Arduino. Why is Flower ProtoBoard ? not ProtoBoard ? Because of I often use protoboards to test out if a new idea works in practice. I do not use breadboards anymore because I pretty much use only smd parts

Potentiometer or variable resistor control LED Code

Potentiometer or variable resistor control LED Code

The if() statement is the most basic of all programming control structures. It allows you to make something happen or not depending on whether a given condition is true or not. It looks like this: if (someCondition) { // do stuff if the condition is true } [Get Code] There is a common variation called if-else that looks like

Arduino Electronic Dice

Arduino Electronic Dice using random numbers

This instructable will show you how to make an electronic dice with minimal experience using 7 LEDs, resistors, jumper wires, and of course the arduino (or arduino clone). I wrote this instructable for anyone to easily follow along and learn more about the arduino. Questions are welcome and will be answered as soon as possible.
