Contest entry by Dane Edmonds. This is my first robot using Arduino , it uses a l239d motor driver and is basically my attempt at making a “start here” robot.
This is my first time using Arduino so I decided to build a robot that would help me learn arduino’s code , I wanted to start small and build up to harder things so I made the robot expandable , as I get better with coding I will add more things . So I hope other people who are new to arduino can learn from this robot to
Dane says: Arduino has meant a cheap and easy to use micro controller, giving people a chance to achieve their goals and has helped make school holidays less boring for me .
My latest Instructable: Lilypad Arduino Passion Sensing Scarf. This was my first time working with an Arduino Lilypad. I have been wanting to try something that dealt with soft circuits for awhile now. This project is what I came up with. The concept is based off my friend Ethan Dicks from theFusefactory.org’s emergent Sheep Sculpture project.
The Lilypad Interactive Passion Sensing Scarf works like so:
Scarf number one being worn by someone walking alone will light up with the color Blue for Lonely. When the wearer of scarf number two joins up with number one, the two scarves will sense each other and then light up Red for Love.
Future plans for capacitance touch: which will allow the colors to Pulsate for Passion if one wearer touches the other wearers scarf. View My Instructable
Arduino Build It! contest entry by: Noel Portugal My xmas-box project consists of an internet controlled Christmas lights and music show. A Christmas song can be requested on-line which is then put in a queue and played in the order it was requested. The music is transmitted on an FM station within a 300 ft radius from my house.
The xmas-box has 8 Channels (power outlets) where different light modes can be played: vu meter style, ascending, descending, split, merge, sequence and random. During each song one of these modes is used randomly every 10 seconds (to make the show less monotonous). Read more »
For a while now I’d been interested in things like networked objects and gps/location-awareness, and I think that soon enough we’re going to see a lot of ‘intelligent objects’ out and about in the world.
I love the idea of being able to actually build something like that, but there’s a lot I don’t know about the hardware side of things. What little electronics I studied was long in the past; I’d done a little coding for microcontrollers, but only a little. But there was something about the Arduino that made it seem more accessible.
Fun with Arduino contest entry submitted by Gamaiel Zavala.
There are other Instructables about building LED cubes, this one is different for several reasons:
1. It’s built with a low number of off-the-shelf components and hooks up directly to the Arduino.
2. A clear, easy to reproduce circuit diagram is provided with plenty of photos.
3. A unique approach is used for the software which makes programming the cube easier and more expressive. Read more »
