“I wanted the end product to represent peacefulness, I wanted to bring some zen to my living-room. I think that I did.” This is what instructables user MakrToolbox said to explain his project purpose. The table consists of a piece of plate glass covering a “garden” of sand and stones. On top of this is…
With a DVD laser pick-up, an Arduino Uno, a laser, and an LDR, Instructables user “Venkes” has managed to create a DIY Laser Scanning Microscope (LSM). It’s capable of 1300x magnification and attaining a resolution of 65,536 pixels (256 x 256) in an area of .05 x .05mm. A laser microscope works by shining a beam of light on…
As creator Franco Molina points out, there’s a lot to worry about when playing guitar in front of an audience. Actually playing is one thing, but you have to pay attention to the crowd, move around on stage, make sure you don’t have any wardrobe malfunctions, and… hit a footswitch to change between clean and…
Fishino is a prototyping board 100% compatible with Arduino, but with greatly enhanced capabilities. You can use Fishino boards exactly like their Arduino counterparts. To use the enanced functionalities available on Fishino’s you’ll find software libraries in download section of Fishino’s website. Fishino uses same I/O used by equivalent Arduino shields; so, for Fishino UNO…
Easily and quickly connect your Arduino boards and manage your projects with the Cayenne web dashboard (mobile app support coming soon). Features Include: Drag and drop widgets to create a customized project dashboard Create widgets for any connected sensor or actuator Sketch files provided to quickly get started with minimal effort Visualize Arduino sensor data…
After his friend’s VW Beetle was stolen, Ben Schroeder decided that he needed to protect his 1966 Beetle. So, as any Maker would do, he took matters into his own hands with a GPS(EM-506 GPS)-enabled Arduino Uno in a locked glove compartment. Unless the unit is turned off, if itdetects that the car is moving, it uses…
What the heck is an IoT computer? It is a Linux computer designed specifically for building connected hardware applications. It combines the tiny form factor and power-efficiency of the Arduino, with the power and flexibilities of the Raspberry Pi. The Omega2 is simple, even for people who are just getting started with building hardware. The…
ArduShield it is most universal development shield for most popular Arduino boards like a Arduino UNO R3, Mini, Pro Mini V5, Nano V3, MicroR3, Leonardo, Yun, Zero, Galileo Gen2 and many other derivative boards created by great community of people. Idea for ArduShield was born out of the problem that hit several Arduino fans. First…
Blynk is a Platform with iOS and Android apps to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet. It’s a digital dashboard where you can build a graphic interface for your project by simply dragging and dropping widgets. It’s really simple to set everything up and you’ll start tinkering in less than 5 mins. Blynk is not tied to…
The first stage of this project was to create the basic Arduino wind speed monitor to check that the parts functioned as required and write the code. A quick look online revealed that a number of wind speed meters or anemometers were available to purchase, ranging in price from just a few dollars up to…
A smart application for our beloved Arduino and the Bonsai care. I’m one of those capable of let even a Cactus die (no green thumb unfortunately) but this application could worth a try, even with a precious Bonsai. Bonsai trees are not like other plants. There’s no single watering schedule that can be applied to…
Open.Theremin is an open source hardware and software project by Urs Gaudenz of Gaudi Lab with the aim of building the next digital generation of the legendary music instrument developed in the ’20s by the Russian inventor professor Leon Theremin. The project is documented under a open license and uses Open.Theremin.UNO, an Arduino or Genuino Uno…
