A Study in Non-Standard Distributed Computer Architecture using Arduino

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

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 …

Power off from an Arduino Sketch using the Pololu Power Switch

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

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 …

Sense Direction Like a Bird: Sensory Extension Mask Using Arduino

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

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 …

Touch Sensitive Audio Desk Trays- Arduino

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

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 …

[Arduino] Linefollower with photoresistors

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

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 …

Sensor Less 3d Printed Robot Using Arduino

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

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 …

Make an Attiny13 based IR proximity sensor using Arduino

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

This is an extremely cheap IR proximity sensor you can make with a few cheap parts and an AVR programmer. I use an Arduino as my programmer in this Instructable. This sensor only has a range of about 3 inches. You can easily add more LEDs or brighter ones to extend the range. You can …

How to make an Arduino Pro Mini bare bones with Real-time Clock Using Atmega

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / By Tech Master

Recapitulation One thing I didn’t find clearly over the internet is how to make an Arduino Pro Mini bare bones, that is, from the scratch, and how to make one on the breadboard. This is really useful if you want to make a custom pcb/smd circuit, because you will be able to test your hardware …
