Arduino LCD Birthday Card
Paper birthday cards are boring… So let’s build an “Arduino LCD birthday card!”
Solderless breadboard
The Truth Meter
By Sean M. Montgomery and Ira M. Laefsky Excerpted from a Primer on Biosensing in MAKE Volume 26. When you experience an arousing stimulus, like an evocative question, a startling noise, or even a disturbing thought, your body generates a variety of psychophysical responses. One of these is micro-pulses of sweat released after a 1- […]
Wind Lantern
In this project, we’ll build a small, vertical-axis wind turbine, or VAWT for short. These are not as efficient as their horizontal-axis cousins, but they are better suited to urban environments where wind can come from all different directions. Normally, when you give electricity to a motor, it spins. The same is true in reverse: […]
Arduino Drum Pad & Game
This fun and easy project shows you how to create a simple input device with little more than a cheap piezo sensor, an old mousepad, and an Arduino board. Using household supplies and a few passive electrical components, you can create a basic physical-computing game input device for your Arduino.
The Trip-Cam
The Trip-Cam is a trip-wire triggered spy- and security camera. Sweet!
PIR Sensor Arduino Alarm
Build a motion-sensing alarm with a PIR sensor and an Arduino microcontroller.
Plush Irradiated Sirloin
Microcontroller night light illuminates meaty issues.
