Ultimate Classic Game Console Joystick to USB Adapter

“This article describes how to use an Arduino Leonardo or Arduino Micro to make up to three classic console joysticks (e.g. Atari 2600, ColecoVision, and possibly others) available to a modern computer (e.g. Windows PC, Mac, or Linux …

VGA Snake with Arduino Uno

“After VGA Pong, I have reproduced another color version of classical game for Arduino Uno and a VGA monitor: VGA Snake!”

Build your own Crude FM Radio

“In this project I will demonstrate how a RF FM transmitter works and how this principle compares to the older AM. I will also show you how to build a simple and crude FM receiver which can even sometimes let …

Data Logging Temperature Probe (-200 °C to +1300 °C)

“I needed to take temperature vs. time measurements for a piece of research equipment in order to determine how much time in advance someone should start prepping before they actually intend to use the equipment. In this case, prepping involves …

Improved Hot Tub Controller

“The original version of my hot tub controller starting having some problems which ended up being caused by an animal chewing through the control cables. I never liked having that huge bundle of cables running all the way across the …

$1 Motor Driver Circuit for Arduino

“The story of this motor shield is that I wanted to make a robot for my multifunctional brainwave controlled system and I decided to share this with you. It’s a very simple circuit I used the L293D IC that …

A 3.6V LiFePO4 charger for under 50c

“I like LiFePO4 batteries. They have a rather flat discharge at around 3.2V, which is ideal for powering 3.3V devices without a regulator. You can also use them in devices that take 2 standard AA cells by using …

Photoplethysmography - (IR Heart Rate Monitor)

“This Instructable documents how to create a simple heart rate monitor using Photoplethysmography with an IR phototransistor via transmissive absorption using the Arduino to process the pulsatile data and display live results via a TFT screen. To use the source …

RGB LED constant current fade effect with transistors

“I was bored so I started to fiddle around with transistors. The reason this became a LED fade and constant current circuit is just because the parts were at hand and lights in different colors is always cool. Please see …
