Calculating on paper is never an easy job. And when it comes to formulas with sub-formulas of their own, it is nothing short of a nightmare! Take the case of a simple pendulum, which has a variable with a formula of its own. What if there was a way to replace these scary calculations with

Let’s measure distances with an ultrasonic rangefinder (distance sensor) and Arduino’s digital input. We’ll connect up a circuit using a breadboard and use some simple Arduino code to control a single LED. You may have already learned to read a pushbutton and PIR motion sensor with Arduino’s digital input, and we’ll build on those skills in this lesson. Ultrasonic

This is a YouTube Subscriber counter built with an ESP8266. It uses the YouTube apiv3 to poll for changes. It’s made specifically for one of my favourite youtubers Henk Rijckaert. It was featured in his livestream where the goal was to get to 9000 subscribers. Step 1: Parts Needed – Electronics and Case The project is

Let’s learn how to control multiple LEDs using Arduino’s digital outputs and a breadboard. Expanding upon the last lesson on blinking an LED, We’ll connect some LEDs to the Arduino Uno and compose a simple program to light them up in a pattern. You can follow along virtually using Tinkercad Circuits. You can even view this lesson from

Recently I have been playing around with Arduino. Arduino is really cool and is a great way to learn electronics. In this Instructable I will teach you the basics of Arduino including: LED’s Buttons Potentiometers Resistors Tinkercad And a project with this knowledge. Step 1: The Board The controller can be broken down into a

Exactly a year ago (February 2020), James’ wife wanted to expand her plant growing setup in the house. This included a bigger, larger, taller plant growing area AND the need for more lighting. BINGO! The seed for the Idea was planted. After an exhaustive market research, not able to find the product that we had

This is a little diorama made with Arduino for a school project. What happens is a party which just stops playing music. As the sound stops there’s a bright light which turns on. There are two partypeople. One is having a stroke or something because of the alcohol. The other one thinks ‘Dam’n, the party
Party’s Over! Continue Reading
Tic Tac Toe is a two player game in which the players compete to get 3 pieces in a row. In this project we constructed a Tic Tac Toe game using a number pad and neo pixels as pieces. This results in a portable Tic Tac Toe game requiring only a wall outlet to play.

Since getting an Arduino starter kit I was wondering what to make of all those fancy buttons, shiny LEDs, touchscreen LCD displays… I was thinking about weather station, but I was told that in the maker’s world, weather station is like a “Hello World” app. Like playing “Stairway to Heaven” in a guitar store. Then, when

I don’t have to introduce your colleague, Richard. He is The Backbone of the society. Hard worker, everyone knows he is busy all day. He gets all the praise. But you know the truth. And only you. He is hardly working. All he does is roam around with a folder with empty sheets of papers.
