Bands on through-hole resistors conveniently indicate their value at a glance. On the other hand, you have to actually know the code to interpret this meaning. Alternatively, you could use the Ohmmeter 2.0. The Ohmmeter 2.0, based on Arduino Mega, has three modes. First, it enables you to enter resistor value with a keypad and…
For most of us, getting weather information is as trivial as unlocking a smartphone or turning on a computer. But, in all of this, it lacks a certain panache that old weather stations had with their analog dials and stained wood cases. If you are a lover of vintage, you can’t help but love this…
An Escape Room is a logic game in which the competitors, once locked up in a themed room, have to look for a way out using every element of the structure and solving codes, puzzles, puzzles and riddles. Escape Rooms can be a lot of fun, even if you have to stay at home in…
This project demonstrates how to implement the system for only one motor. Actually robots require more than one motor. That’s why I developed software that can deal with up to four motors simultaneously. And that’s also the reason I chose a microcontroler more powerfull than a UNO and I chose ATMega 2560 More info
https://youtu.be/QP3xScVA8Gs The concept of this robot is very simple. To build it we will need: Arduino mega, l293d motor module, flame sensor and relay module. More info
With this project you can use a touchscreen display and an Arduino Mega to make a fun and interactive hangman game. More info
Researchers at the University of Auckland’s Augmented Human Lab have created a smart grip system controlled by an Arduino Mega sbc that helps you to improve your cricket’s technique. The augmented handle is covered with an array of force sensitive resistors, which push data to an Arduino Mega and then to a PC over Bluetooth….
Created by a research team at Simon Fraser University in Canada, the Flair Chair is an interactive chair born from the idea of a drone being controlled by an emergency call taker using embodied interaction on a tangible chair. Researchers explored the possibilities of allowing drones to assist 911 like emergency call takers by transmitting/…
James Bruton built a pipe organ using a Henry vacuum cleaner, a canister vacuum with a silk screened face. He adapted cheap children’s plastic recorders to a Henry vacuum cleaner with a few 3D printed parts, some servo-controlled valves, and a bit of plastic tubing, allowing it to play a full octave and the melody…
“The clock actually consists of two clocks, the first being a 6 x IN-18 tube clock which is mounted on the clock’s top and displays both time and date. The second clock, this time based on 6 x IN-12A and 2 x IN-15A nixie tubes displays at the front of the clock and can display,…
If you have a Rubik’s Cube lying around your house unsolved, maybe this open source machine might be just the thing. The Q-Bot features six NEMA 17 stepper motors, four of which turn one face at a time. When needed, the other two use timing belts to alternatively pull opposed stepper motor pairs back, allowing…
Our Fishino boards are evolving, acquiring new and exciting features and functionalities. The renewal starts with UNO and MEGA. We are now going to explain to you what has changed. In the previous article, we introduced what would become the founder of a series of innovative boards compatible with the famous Arduino: the…
