Simple FM radio (sure works!)

“Simple and powerful fm radio with easy to find parts. This is a regenerative Fm radio. Build very simple and easy to find parts. No special coils or uhf transistors. Antenna catches fm waves, first transistor works as oscillator. R1 …

The Arduino Synthesizer

“The Arduino is able to output sound through a library that has been developed called the Tone Library. By creating an interface and a program that can call certain values to be output to an audio out, the Arduino Synthesizer …

Turn me on, an ATtiny RGB mood lamp

“In this Instructable I will show you how to make a mood lamp that you can turn on by flipping it around, how cool is that!? This project is an exelent beginner project for people that want to get familiar …

Basics - Versatile ATTiny85 Lightning Bug

“Over the past couple of years, I’ve been fascinated by my micro-controller hobby. So far, I’ve made what I consider three useful products. The first was a mailbox signal system, and then a toothbrush timer and now a …

Digital Clock using one shift register

“Here I am going to show you how to make Digital clock using Arduino Uno (while final assembling I used Arduino Nano because of its small size). Instead of giving load on Arduino I am using Real Time Clock (RTC …

DIY Tools—Build Your Own Logic Probe

“Oscilloscopes are extremely helpful when you’re testing and troubleshooting digital circuits. But for many individuals, an oscilloscope may not be a solution because of the price tag (hundreds to thousands of dollars) or the bench space. The first oscilloscope …

How to make a magnetic force field change detector

“This is a very sensitive DIY magnetic force field change detector/sensor. Using HMC5883L magnetometer module with arduino nano. It also makes sound signals when the magnetic force field changes around the device.”

LED Light Timer

“Half of my family tends to fall asleep with the light on. It doesn’t feel right to leave the light on all night, so we ‘improved’ the two lamps to have a timer that turns off after twenty minutes …

Monitoring humidity, temperature in the hen house: DHT11, DS18B20, ESP8266

“In order to keep track off the temperature in the night quarters of my chicken coop I needed a wireless connection to some sensors. As I had an ESP8266-01 lying around that seemed like the perfect medium to do …

Wireless temperature and humidity monitor for baby’s room

“This project describes a DIY wireless temperature and humidity monitor for kids’ or infant’s room using the Arduino platform, and inexpensive and easily available ASK transmitter/receiver modules. On the transmitting end, an Arduino nano senses the ambient room …
