This project was built for my introductory electronics class at the University of Waterloo in Canada. This was my first introduction to electronics and therefore, my first project. Follow these steps to build a 16 x 16 LED array with a wall (different colored LED on the border), powered by an Arduino Mega 2560. I …

This project was inspired by this video from YouTube and the Pendulum Challenge Kit from Makershed.com. Its a simple game consisting of five LED lights and one pushbutton switch. The LEDs flash in a sequence and the player must press the button when the middle LED light is lit. The speed at which the lights flash increases until the …
What did I make? = This is a little project that uses ATTiny85 to make a simple “game timer”, intended to be used with board games that demand timed turns, like “Rummikub” or “Scrabble”. Never wait for all that sand getting down for the next turn again! The working is simple: – A binary preset …

We have built quite a few projects using the Bi-color (Red and Green) LED Matrix Driver Module kits from jolliFactory and have published them as instructables here. Each of these modules uses two MAX7219 Display Driver ICs to drive a Bi-color LED Matrix. These ICs are excellent because they take a lot of work off the micro-controller …

Sometimes I just have those days where I really want to make something neat with the Arduino I have lying around, but I know I don’t have the patience for a more involved project that’ll take more than a day or so. This is for one of those days. The premise is as follows: A …
Turn your NES controller’s START BUTTON into an ON/OFF switch for lights with this Instructable – Other versions I have seen either gut or modify the electronics but in this project the electronics are intact so the controller can be used for retro gaming after the lights go out… …

Hello, my name is Vigas Balachandran and on this instructable, I will be presenting my final project. For this project, I have created a LED chaser game. In this game, the LEDs will be flashing in consecutive order. On the serial monitor on the arduino, you will be given a colour. With the given, you will need …
What do you do when someone is chasing you or you are lost? Cross your fingers? Don’t. When you are in trouble, just cross your feet [in a special way] and your location is sent to your family members. Wait there’s more! Even the family can get your location just by …

The technology behind Enigma machines and the work done to crack them has influenced cryptography, cryptanalysis, and computer science in general. If you’re unfamiliar with Enigma machines, it’s a device that was developed near the end of World War I, then used extensively by the Nazi regime in World War II, to encrypt messages. The …
Marble Disorder is a borderline case of Marble Madness It simulates a marble maze by sensing the box’s orientation with 2 tilt switches. Stop the press: there’s a new and more intuitive version that doesn’t require the spin knob (See video). I keep documenting the original version below for historical purposes, but don’t watch this – watch that Bonus game: The Marble Disorder box is …
