One of the most fun and useful projects on instructables is to create your very own solar USB/ iPhone charger. They’re not overly difficult to make, nor are the parts overly expensive or hard to find. For the most part they do a rather good job of charging up small gadgets. Mostly. The big flaw …

This Instructable shows how to make a Smartphone controlled Arduino Robot Car. Update on 25th Oct 2016 Step 1: Youtube Video Link Step 2: Parts and Tools Required 1. 4WD Robot Chassis kit 2. Arduino …
Have an old toy car? I hacked mine using Arduino and an H bridge circuit to control the motors, used my Sony Z1 Android phone to control it with the recent 1Sheeld I got from Kickstarter. I thought to use the Gyroscope sensor in to drive it but after experimenting, I used the gravity sensor instead, …

After long research and trial and error, I have came up to a new walkthrough regarding this nice chip, the L293D. Each project is one project and each one has its own unique power configurations, so you must be aware of the best battery choice and how to distribute voltage through your robot. I strongly …
In this project we control direction and speed of a 24v high current motor using Arduino and two relays. No power switches are needed for this circuit, just two push buttons and in Potentiometer to control the direction and speed of DC Motor. One push button will rotate motor clockwise and other will rotate it …

I have made many tutorials for creating apps using MIT app inventor and connected the app with arduino to make things work, I often get email stating something went missing when they follow my tutorial, Here’s a step by step tutorial on getting started with creating MIT app inventor and control things with arduino. To …
Story Fascinated by this humorous anthropomorphic idea on instructable that left me philosophizing deeply about the essence of art, I decided to make this a project after witnessing many ruthless battles between human and robot on YouTube. How does it work? The Arduino “listens” to the state of the switch and actuates the servo when …
The Strandbot is a DIY upgrade for the Strandbeest originally designed by Theo Jansen. Strandbeests are amazing mechanical creatures that are able to move on their own using just a little bit of wind power. Unfortunately my tiny apartment is short on wind, so I decided to upgrade a miniature Strandbeest using an Arduino and …

Let’s get the math over right off the bat. There are a LOT of attempts to describe how Ohm’s Law works, each one nerdier than the last. Here’ one I like. Warning: SFWBN (safe for work but nerdy). V = voltage measured in volts – the difference in electrical potential. I = Current measured in …
