Building an Arduino project isn’t just about making all the components talk to one another. It’s about creating an actual object or prototype out of your small creation, and giving it that extra touch that makes it unique. For this next project, we took some very basic components: a one-wire temperature sensor and a 7-segment …
This project is all about creating a simple game to test your memory. I’ll be using a Teensy 3.0 board. (If you want to know more about this board please click here to read a Getting Started Guide). This project is also 100% compatible with the Arduino. Watch …

In the following tutorial, directions are given for creating a single node for the DoHas (Distributed Optical Harvard Architecture System). After constructing two of these nodes, a small distributed computer can be implemented which uses one node for sending instructions, mimicking input and the instruction set to manage it, and another node which will act as memory. One …

If you need an Arduino to shut off from within your Sketch, this is the solution. We will explore wiring the Pololu Pushbutton Power Switch, programming the Arduino to shut off the power, and making the unit “power on” only. The Pololu Pushbutton Power Switch comes in two versions – the SV version geared towards …

In a couple of weeks, some students will visit my lab (Craft Tech Lab) to learn more about wearable technologies. I wanted to build a quick and simple application of a sensor and vibration motors for them to play around with and rough up. While this project could be made into a wearable mask, due …

After having completed my first Arduino project (which can be found here) I wanted to try and create something that had more of a practical use. My idea behind this project was a way of aiding the visually impaired. By the end of this project you will have created some touch sensitive desk trays which use …
I built a linefollower robot that could be used in many different ways, and I summed up my project in some steps. To begin with, all you need is the following parts: Step 1: Robot frame Parts List: -Robot frame -Two wheels -Two DC motors How to: I used an old robot frame with two …
Tyree (he wears a tie and he has tires) actually smiles after he bumps into something (see video). Using an Arduino motor shield, he detects obstacles using the “more current into the motor means something is in the way” principle. Tyree started out as a sketch and morphed into a real object thanks to Autodesk’s …
