Do you currently have an Arduino and want to make it smaller for cheap? The Quasi-duino is for you (Italian for almost-duino). This makes a functional “almost” Arduino, in a very small form factor using the narcoleptic library for pico-power operations on a pico-space breadboard. This ‘ible will use Arduino 1.0. All of your Arduino

In this Instructable, I cover modding the store-bought Deluxe Identity Disc to an upgraded version with 64 leds, controlled by an AVR MCU. The upgraded version is costume-ready and would be an excellent addition to your Tron costume – it’ll also look great on your desk/dresser/etc. My 7 year old daughter watched Tron:Legacy with me

Learn how to use infrared LEDs to send signals to your TV and other electronic devices via an Arduino. First, the Arduino will interpret IR pulses sent out by the TV remote, save them to memory, then “replay” them upon the user’s command. You can use these techniques to make other electronics controllable via IR

When flashing with digital compact cameras, the camera usually uses several small flashes before making the actual picture. This is o.k. if the built-in flash is the only flash you have, but if you want to use an external second flash you have a problem: The second flash, also called slave-flash, fires if the master-flash
