give your Arduino a 120 volt kick in the pants! The Arduino is a great tool for anyone interested in learning microcontroller programming, but after blinking some LEDs, what’s next? This project enables your Arduino to control real-world 120 Volt electrical appliances you have in your home. what can you use a plugduino for? Well, …

RGB LEDs are fairly useful in projects allowing for a wide range of color from a single unit. However they can be a pain in the neck to work with and they too often come with little or no documentation. I searched for some time to find a common resource on them and this Instructable …

In this tutorial, eight LEDs are interfaced to the Arduino Uno board. This is not complicated – it is just like interfacing a single LED to the Arduino as done in tutorial 3, but eight times over. A program is then loaded to the Arduino that will turn the eight LEDs into a “Knight rider” …
E-Edit: Thank you very very much for voting for me in Featured Author, Glue and Battery Powered Contests! Cheer up and wait for my project so special is coming… Edit: If you really like this project, you can vote for me on the top right corner, forFeatured Author Contest , just three days after the contest closes. And …
Practicing the art of time-lapse photography without an intervalometer is doable, but not particularly efficient. And while any decent photo equipment store will be happy to sell you one, you can go the DIY way and build your own intervalometer based on the excellent Arduino platform. Theoretically, building an Arduino-based intervalometer is as easy as connecting an infrared (IR) LED to the …

I’m going to go through my process of hacking a Moog Etherwave Theremin. I created a new acrylic top, partially sanded to be translucent in certain areas, and created my own circuit around an ATMega168 Arduino Bootloaded microcontroller which is stealing a control voltage from the theremin’s board and is driving 2 RGB LEDs which react …
Description In this tutorial you will set up and turn on a single LED. Note that this code can actually be executed with just the Arduino and no other components as in Figure 5. If you notice, next to pin 13 is a tiny LED on the board. If you execute the code below, you should …
So what I want to do here is do several things with two LEDs with speech recognition I’m using bitvoicer you can get it here Step 1: Part List So I’m doing this with as little parts as I can, here’s the list: Green LED Red LED Breadboard 1k Resistor Jumper Cables Computer Computer Mic(you can …
Meet Chartreuse! Chartreuse’s face follows you when you walk by. When she sees you, her eyes turn yellow and she gets a happy expression in her eyes. As you walk away, her eyes change to blue and she sadly turns away. Chartreuse is powered by …
We are a generation that love sound and light – can’t do without them really. Our most preferred time of day is night, or what we would call evening. We are particularly well acquainted with technology; doesn’t hurt these days. Our prerequisite for everything is that it be ‘cool’. Put it all together and in …
