In this experiment we are going to work with a sensor which is a resistor that depends on light. In a dark environment, the resistor will have a very high resistance. As photons (light) land on the ...

Alarm clocks are cheap and abundant, but they’re pretty boring. If you want to make your own, Instructables user Paranoid Legend shows you how to build one with an Arduino. The alarm clock is made ...

Theses are the team buzzer boxes which [Philippe Chrétien] built for his mother. She’s a big fan of quiz shows (we’re thinking Jeopardy and the like) and he thought she’d enjoy a proper setup for home ...

[linux-dude] always wanted to have a binary clock, but he didn’t want to pay someone else to make it for him. Additionally, he was looking for a compact alarm clock he could take on the road, rather ...

As a preview of his latest book, Arduino Project Handbook: 25 Practical Projects to Get You Started, Mark Geddes takes us through the project to create a simple laser trip wire alarm. You've probably ...

Dejan Nedelkovski has built a stylish DIY touchscreen Arduino music player and alarm clock which has been created using a folded piece of sheet metal to provide a minimalist yet clean enclosure to ...

Keeping track of things like the temperature, humidity, and smoke level in your house is important. If you want to make your own system for doing so, Instructables user ICStation shows off how to use ...
