Make a Web Connected Robot (for about $500) (using an Arduino and Netbook)

This Instructable will show you how to build your own Web Connected Robot (using an Arduino micro-controller and Asus eee pc). Why would you want a Web Connected Robot? To play with of course. Drive your robot from across the room or across the country, using nothing more than Skype and a web browser (nothing

Interfacing ATmega32 with an LCD and a DAC

Hi techies!! This is one more of my circuits, interfacing ATmega32 with an LCD and a DAC. it also includes two general purpose push-buttons and In System Programming connector. The controller is operating with 14.7456 MHz frequency crystal, convenient for generating standard baud rates (for RS422 communication whic i used in my actual project, not

Arduino and Touchpad Tic Tac Toe using microcontroller

Or, an exercise in input and output multiplexing, and working with bits.  And a submission for the Arduino contest. This is an implementation of a tic tac toe game using a 3×3 array of bicoloured LEDs for a display, a simple resistive touchpad, and an Arduino to tie everything together. To see how it works,

Ardu-pong! the Arduino based pong console

A while back the instructables robot made a post on Facebook about some guys who played pong on an Arduino (http://wayneandlayne.com/projects/video-game-shield/games/#pong) but after looking around, i saw that everyone who did this was only worried about making it work. and often resulted as a very hard to use system with only potentiometers to use as controllers.

Garduino Upgrade, Now with more Twitter!

A couple months ago I came across two great instructables.  The first was the Garduino, an arduino controlled garden to help you grow plants at home.  The second was the Tweet-a-Watt, a project that teaches you how to monitor your home power usage using Xbees and Twitter.  I read about both these projects here at
