Incorporating the Radio Into the Turrets

Portal 2 Turret – Master Turret Control Using Arduino

This project is an extension or remix of my original Portal Turret on Instructables (Portal-2-Turret-Gun). It can also be used as a cheap controller to control anything that uses the nRF24L01 radio chip. The LCD screen is particularly useful when customizing. (It turns out to be quite useful in checking when my radios establish and …

Accelerometer Dice with 123D Circuits

Accelerometer Dice with 123D Circuits Using Arduino

This is the project that got Autodesk’s CEO Carl Bass a little extra attention from the TSA on his way to MakerFaire Tokyo.  Here’s an article about that… We made this as way to demo a few things you can do with our apps, 123D Circuits and 123D Design :  Design circuits.  Simulate the circuits online.  3D Model online and prepare …
