High Voltage Detector
Really interesting notes & circtuits about how to fell high voltages. This circuit is a simple electric field detector. It can can detect very faint electric fields present around powered electric lines. […]

Arduino Midi Rainbow
Last week I was in Rome for the Arduino Day. I was amazed by the projects and the people there: true Arduino fans. This is the first post about some of those projects: more soon. [anbello] generates – via MIDI – different light patterns on a strip of addressable RGB LED MIDI messages from the […]
Samsa II, The Hexapod
[pabloxid] shared an Hexapod project on the forum based on an Arduino MEGA 1280 and 18 Dynamixel AX-12 motors: SAMSA is based on the Wiring board, with an ATmega128 microcontroller, and SAMSA II on the Arduino Mega, with an ATmega1280. Both are pretty similar, tough the ATmega1280 has 8 KB SRAM, twice the ATmega128. For […]
RFID-based Dispencer Answers To The Question: Did I Already Take This Pill?
[Mark Fickett] shares a nice solution to keep track of pils and medecines his mother takes. When taking her battery of medicines, my mother occasionally loses — or, lost — track of which ones she had already taken. This aims to keep track of what’s been taken (and how recently); and also to provide a […]
The Merry Twitter Tree
Arduino Forum User [Donster] posted a project about a Christmas Tree whose lights are lit by the word “Merry Christmas” on twitter: The basic idea is having the lights on the Christmas Tree turning on everytime someone tweets “Merry Christmas”. It’s still pretty much a prototype but you get the idea. Sometimes the live stream […]
Hacking Christmas Lights
We are all waiting for consumer electronics producers to sell hacking-friendly, repairable products. While we wait we can all enjoy [Darco] Christmas Lights Hack. He reverse engineered the leds protocol and the remote control of the GE Color Effects G-35. The protocol on the data line is simple and self-clocked. Here are the low-level details: […]
Arduino To Ableton Live Via Pure DataArduino To Ableton Live Via Pure DataArduino To Ableton Live Via Pure Data
[Spencer] built a controller sending serial data to Pure Data using Firmata Library. The data is processed and sent to Ableton Live via Midi: It’s still unfinished here. It’s basically opening the communication between the arduino, scaling everything from 0-127 to be compatible with MIDI, then being routed through various CC’s to mac’s IAC […]

Introducing Squirt, The Water Gun RobotIntroducing Squirt, The Water Gun RobotIntroducing Squirt, The Water Gun Robot
Squirt is an autonomous robot which can communicate with an Android phone. Optionally, the phone can be used as a controller to drive the robot. Squirt’s purpose is to water plants and chase away raccoons. It’s also a technology demonstration to prove the feasibility of using a smart phone to control small irrigation and well […]
