If you’re into retro-computing and have a Commodore 8-bit computer, such as the Commodore 64 or Commodore 128, you’re going to love this project! We’re going to do a Pi1541 build. The Commodore line of 8-bit computers used a disk drive called the Commodore 1541 (later the 1571 and 1581). This venerable drive is a […]
So I found a fantastic Commodore VIC-20 at a yard sale and it is absolutely gorgeous! It has Just a slight bit of yellowing that you can barely see and a few tiny scratches here and there… but other than that it is in tip top shape. Except for one thing. The clips on the […]
In this article, we’re going to do an Arduino water level sensor tutorial. We’ll go over how to wire the sensor, how it works, and some basic code examples to get you started in your projects. This sensor is also sometimes referred to as a water leak detection sensor. Watch the Arduino Water Level Sensor […]
I’ve had so many people ask me how I went about building the full size R2-D2 remote control system. So today, I will take you through what I have done so far and what I plan to do in the future. When I first started my R2-D2 building adventure I read all the R2-D2 forums […]
In this tutorial, we’re going to show how to do the most awesome Arduino Knight Rider LEDs! It’s a highly requested article after our last update on blinking a single LED we sneak peaked this and apparently, everyone wants to know more! For those who might not know, Knight Rider is a TV show from […]
After my last video introducing the Arduino, some of you commented that you needed an example of how the Arduino works that is super simple to understand. So in this video we’re going to do the absolute simplest of projects. We’re going to be blinking an LED! Arduino: Blinking an LED Video We’ve made detailed […]
The ultrasonic sensor is one of the most common sensors used in Arduino projects. It’s one of those must have sensors for many projects that require inputs for navigation. For example, an Arduino RC car or other robot will likely need an ultrasonic sensor to measure how close it is to a wall or other […]
This update is going to be all about the R2-D2 dome build, specifically the mechanical and electronics portion for automating the pie panels. This was actually one of the most frustrating parts so far. Not because the work was all that hard, but because much of the componentry that is sold flat out does not […]
One of the best features of the Arduino is the ability to control relays. Relays allow a circuit of one voltage or current to be operated by a circuit of a different voltage or current. In the case of an Arduino that operates at either 3.3V or 5V DC, connecting a relay allows us to […]
In this tutorial we’re going to make an Arduino TV B-Gone and its super simple. If you’re not familiar with a TV B-Gone, it’s a device that uses a small micro-controller to send the IR off codes for every TV make and model on the planet. This is a super handy little device to have […]
