A research team at Imperial College London have created a new aerial sensor deployment system which uses a drone capable of firing Sense darts into tree trunks for data collection from hard to reach locations. The drone firing mechanism uses a compressed spring together with a shape-memory alloy (SMA) trigger to fire the sensor pods […]

This instructable will show you how to make mushrooms that will glow in the dark. You can turn individual mushrooms off and on again by pressing the top. I started this project for a school assignment where we had to create something using the Arduino Uno. I wanted to create something pretty and magical and

I study Game and Interaction technology at Utrecht University of the Arts. There is one project called “If this then that” where you’re asked to build an interactive product. You are to use an Arduino, design an interesting interactive element and build a nice and professional-looking prototype around it. I had some clear personal wants

Minigolf is a fun, simple pastime that has the benefit of taking up much less space than the classical game it is inspired by. [gcall1979] had built himself a small game for the lounge room, but found keeping score to be a tedious exercise. Of course, that was nothing that couldn’t be solved with some electronics!

These days, a classic Jack O’ Lantern just doesn’t cut the mustard. Kids are expecting to be scared by high-quality animatronics at a minimum. This haunting work by [Zero To Infinity] might just do the trick. A real pumpkin is pressed into service in this build, with the usual threatening grin and candlelit interior. However, where

In this instructable I will show you how to make weather station system by yourself. All you need is basic knowledge in electronics, programming and a little bit of time. This project is still in the making. This is only first part. Upgrades will be uploaded in next one or two months. If you have

Hi everyone, this is my second instrucatable! This time we are going to build a wooden clock with temperature and humidity display. Like shown in the picture, our the time will be displayed through the “wood”. Since light isn’t strong enough to pass a piece of wood, we are going to use wood texture vinyl stickers

This is a pill dispenser robot able to provide the patient the correct amount and type of medicine pills. The dosing of the pill is performed automatically at the correct time of the day, preceded by an alarm. When empty, the machine is easily refilled by the user. The dispensing and refilling mechanism is controlled

I recently built a simple 8 key piano using an original NES controller and Arduino UNO board.Unlike conventional Arduino piano projects which require one digital pin for each key / button the NES controller piano used only three digital pins (D5 for nesClock, D6 for nesLatch, D7 for nesDataIn) leaving 5 extra digital pins available for experimentation.

In this tutorial we’re going to play with a gesture sensor (APDS-9960) and a neopixel ring to learn how to combine them both using an Arduino UNO. The end product will respond to left – right gestures by animating led movement right or left, and to up-down gestures by changing leds color. In the next
