Here I will show you an overview on how to make a robotic talking turret, loosely based off of the turrets from the popular game, Portal. This instructable should help anyone wanting to do an animatronics project. For more detailed pictures, go to: http://razorconcepts.net/turret.html This project require some experience with tools, electronic circuits, and maybe …
This is a Nabaztag – Armenian, apparently, for “hare”. It’s an adorable bunny rabbit packed with sensors and communication devices…. and it’s completely unusable. There’s people who wrote some interesting software to hack it, and I applaud them: however, I could never actually get my Karotz (Nabaztag’s third incarnation) through the arduous initialization. So, to …
Today, I made a small 3x3x3 LED cube with an ATtiny2313 that I had from about 2 weeks ago. Whenever I had to reprogram the LED cube when I thought of more awesome patterns, I had to get out my breadboard and then wire up everything again referring to pin-outs of ATtiny2313 and make sure …
In case you don’t have an AVR programmer but you do have an arduino, the arduino can be converted into an AVR flash programmer, meaning it can program bare AVR microcontroller chips. Say if you have an AVR chip and you want to program the chip, so that the program that you’ve written and compiled …

Lets describe a clock… “Clock is a device that counts and shows time(relative)”!!! Guess I said it right so lets make a CLOCK with ALARM feature. NOTE: it will take 2-3 minutes in reading please read the whole project or else I will not be responsible for …

Over ten years ago, I put up a web page with detailed instructions on building a simple electric motor based on one from the Beakman’s World TV show. I called it the “Beakman’s Electric Motor” page and over the years it has had hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of hits. Realizing that just building a motor, …
Have you ever wanted to, without going out of your way to clock your processor, see how much stress your computer is under? With this project you will have a simple bar graph that constantly shows how much stress your computer is under. If the graph reads 0, your computer isn’t working too much. If …
This is my second instructable. I just had a mood of making a digital watch. But wanted to make it a learning process. I already had a sanguino i could have easily used that Atmega644 chip. it would have been more than enough. But i wanted to try burning a Arduino bootloader and see if i could make it work. …

This is a beginners project for the Arduino. I am using the Arduino Uno but should work with little or no modification on other arduino models. Setting up the hardware is very easy. This project is more of a training tool for learning how to program a timer list while listening for a button press. Parts …
Continuing from my Intro to Arduino post, this Instructable will go over some slightly more advanced topics with Arduino, specifically relating to controlling and managing many inputs and outputs. The next class covers how to connect the Arduino’s inputs and outputs to MIDI. Parts List: (1x) Arduino Uno Amazon or you can pick one up at a local Radioshack (1x) usb …
