Arduino is an open-source electronics platform or board, as well as the software used. Arduino boards are meant to read an input and turn it into a corresponding output, such as turning a Twitter notification into an email notification should someone desire that functionality. Instructions are sent using the Arduino programming language and Arduino software.

This Arduino sketch exercises the standard hardware of the CKS-1-Shield board. It provides a console interface for reading inputs and triggering outputs, and a set of asynchronous state machines for generating test motions. Console Interface static void parse_user_input(int argc, char *argv[]) Process an input message tokenized from a line of console input. New commands may be defined by

Project and Instructable write-up done by Ian Lacy on behalf of the MIT Edgerton Center. In this project, I’ll show you how to build an Apollo 11 clock. The clock has each hour associated with a leg of the mission, and plays an associated audio clip at each hour. Every third hour, it also has a

For a class assignment, I needed to make something fabric-based which took an Arduino, some programming, and at least two inputs and outputs. After sketching a few different ideas, I hit on this one: an electromagnetic glove for MagnetoGirl. It sprang to life for me, because magnetism is an invisible force which can seem magical.

This system allows remote control of up to four industrial devices using a joystick and Arduino Nano microcontroller board. Figure 1 presents a block diagram of the joystick-controlled industrial automation setup. Key components include: An Arduino Nano which processes signals from the joystick and outputs control commands. A joystick module that generates analog position readings

A Nixie Tube is a Neon gas-filled tube, that has a wiremesh anode with various cathodes shaped like numbers or symbols. Back in the 1950s they were used in computers, calculators, and laboratory equipment. Nixie tubes were replaced by LEDs and VFDs(vacuum fluorescent displays)in the 1970s. They were too costly to to mass produce so

Some days ago I bought a laser rangefinder (Uni-T UT390b, f.e. http://www.dx.com/de/p/uni-t-ut390b-45m-laser-dist…) to realise a simple LiDAR. The rangefinder has an accuracy of +/- 2mm and is able to measure distances up to 45m. This will be enough for my living room 😉 You’ll also need: * Arduino Mega (because of more than one Serial
