There are lot of temperature sensors both with analog & digital outputs. This project gives you an another temperature indicator which has been done with a digital sensor SMT160. Although it is a digital sensor it does not gives out the temperature directly. The output is duty cycled modulated. The sensor can measure temperature from […]

With this project you can control a unipolar stepper motor. You can control both the speed and the direction of the motor. The speed and direction and can changed with help of the keypad. The data’s are displayed over the LCD display. A 4×4 keypad is used for entering the speed and selecting the direction.

The Turnigy 9x is a cheap Chinese radio transmitter widely sold by hobby king and other retailers under a variety of names. This is a computerized radio transmitter and is already a great deal for the price ($53 currently) and pretty capable if you can figure out how to use the stock firmware. The microcontroller

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

Here’s my instructable for a DIY TiX clock. It is powered by an AVR microcontroller. The display is made up using a piece of reflector grid you find covering office lights, some smoked perspex, a diffuser and a bunch of LED’s. The Idea came from the Tix clocks you can buy at various places on

The instruction manual for each of the MANY munchkin series of card games always includes a phrase like “you will need a 10 sided die for each player or some other device to keep score.” 10 sided dice are not hard to find in my house, but I took this as a challenge to make

Dice are fun. Polyhedral dice used in D & D are even more fun, particularly in big handfuls of different sizes. But a handful isn’t always practical. Ever since I saw the dragon bone electronic die wand advertised in the back pages of Dragon magazine when I was a kid, I wanted an electronic device

Intro: My Nikon DSLR has an infrared remote function (remote sold separately) that is really handy, but fairly limited in range. A while ago, I bought a TV-B-Gone Kit from it’s inventor Mitch Altman, and it can turn TV’s off from a great distance. I thought, “Hey, this thing is open source! I can hack

Using the fact that many microcontroller pins have three states (+V, GND, or “high impedence”). You can drive N*(N-1) LEDs from N pins. So the little 8 pin microcontroller like a PIC12Fxxx or an ATtiny11 can drive 20 LEDs on its five available output pins, and still have one pin left for some kind of
