If you’ve ever wanted to make your own VU meter but were scared off by the signal process you need to study this tutorial. Hackaday Alum [Phil Burgess] developed the device using an RGB LED matrix, microphone, and an Arduino. You’ll notice that is doesn’t include an MSGEQ7 chip which we see in most of [...]
This RC truck build is very detailed. Most of the mechanical parts such as windows and steering are fully functional. There are many pictures that are hard to tell that the vehicle is not full scale. There is even a fully functioning winch on the front of the truck, I guess this will [...]
[Alex] has been working with Arduino for some time now, but always thought it lacked some features which advanced users would really find useful. He decided to devote some free time to fixing the problem and ended up coding an Arduino IDE for more advanced users. A screenshot of his work — called MariaMole — [...]
[Timothy Zandelin], a 15 years old Arduino enthusiast has sent us his first Arduino Project, an arcade interface based on Arduino Leonardo. The cabinet is made of 4mm HDF and were laser cut at “Fabriken” in Malmö. The red arcade sign in the top is produced in 5mm translucent acrylic. All design and construction drawings were made in [...]
If you have ever worked with SMD parts using tweezers gets old fast. Even the small vacuum pencils are not great. Vassilis Papanikolaou sent in the details of his solution. It uses a base that is similar to a CNC machine without the electronics. With this setup it is much easier to precisely align [...]
I bet you thought your cell phone was the only thing with custom ringtones. Jason Poel Smith wrote in with his Doorbell with Custom Ringtones that he built using a Radio Shack Recording Module. “Most doorbells just make a simple generic tone. But I thought that it would be fun to modify a door bell so [...]
Kelvin Doe who is also known as DJ Focus is a 15-Year-Old living in Sierra Leone. His community is not developed, for example the power only works one day a week. He has built an ton of electronic projects, the incredible thing is that since there is no Radio Shack handy he has [...]
What is the voltage on a AA battery? It would be around 1:30PM if you were using this voltmeter! A PICAXE 18M2 microcontroller is used to read an analog value, calculate what time it represents and then uses a stepper motor to spin the adjustment knob to have the clock show the voltage using [...]
Thanks to David Powell from the Baltimore Hackerspace for sending in some details about the Lasershark which is a Laser Projector Project. It uses a LPC1343 – 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller to run the show, make sure you watch the video below to see this thing in action! “This board is intended to be [...]
The prize this week is a credit card knife, it has a ton of features to get you out of a jam in a network closet or your next camping trip. This contest will run for one week (November 18 – 23, 2012). Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter, [...]
Rebuilt my lucky cat: whenever a page of my website is loaded, the cat will be waving its arm. There’s a light sensor so when its dark, the cats RGB-LED is changing the color instead of waving the arm. Changing the color of the LED is also possible with one of the buttons on the [...]
Are you bored with just drinking beer? Are your friends constantly sneaking into your house and stealing your sacred beverages? If so, perhaps you need KegDroid – the Android controlled beer tap created by [Paul Carff]. Looking for a way to add more excitement to drinking his beer, [Paul] spiced up his tap with a [...]
Here’s an inexpensive Arduino-based MP3 Jukebox (translated) which [Jose Daniel Herrera] put together. He spent some time making sure that it looked great sitting on a shelf with his other audio equipment. This started with a wooden box which is some reused packaging. We’re not familiar with the ‘iNFUSiONES’ product; perhaps it’s tea or tobacco? At [...]
