 | Control a Robot Arm over the Web using Arduino
We've seen some neat internet-based remote control projects including the Ethernet Enabled Christmas Bells project. Here's another neat project to add to our collection. The Orbduino is a robotic arm which can can be controlled entirely... |
 | DIY Arduino Helicopter with Obstacle Avoidance
Here's another neat Arduino helicopter project featuring four infrared sensors and one ultrasonic sensor for obstacle avoidance. We've seen an Arduino powered helicopter with four rotors and even one with six rotors too. This quadcopter,... |
 | Twitter Based Mood Light using Arduino
By monitoring a stream of tweets coming through Twitter, this mood light changes color based upon the frequency of words such as "angry, happy, or sad." The system uses an Arduino which collects data from Twitter using a WiFly module. After... |
 | How To: DIY Arduino Balancing Surface
Here's another superb Arduino project using just a few simple components (which are available in our DIY projects store). It's a pretty simple setup using a laptop, webcam, servos, and an Arduino to monitor and balance a ball bearing on a flat... |
 | Build a Self-Balancing Segway Skateboard
This low cost self-balancing skateboard project is a mix between the Segway-like scooter and Electric Segway Skateboard we've covered before. Add an Arduino microcontroller, a motor, and some sensors to a standard skateboard and you get a... |
 | Arduino Powered Remote Control Lawnmower
We've seen loads of great Arduino projects and even a few RC lawn mowers, but we've never seen the two combined until now. Â This project walks you through the entire build process step by step and includes a thorough guide for creating remote... |
 | Arduino Based LED Alarm Clock
Making an accurate microcontroller clock can be a little tricky but you can learn how it's down by building your own Arduino alarm clock using LED Matrices and a coffee can housing. All of the electronics are based on Wisedino (Arduino with timing... |
 | Twitter Controlled LED IKEA Table using Bluetooth
An ever-changing LED display makes for an interesting show. An LED table powered by tweets makes the light show that much more exciting. This Twitter-enabled device builds on a previous project which had uses 81 RGB LED modules in a 9x9 grid... |
 | War Torn District 9 PC Case Mod
District 9 was a popular film which has spawned numerous DIY project such as the District 9 rifle we featured previously. The latest we have come across is the superb PC case mod above which started with a stock ATX case which was fabricated with... |
 | How to: LED Hard Drive Clock using Arduino
Ah...the Arduino. The super powerful, easy to program microcontroller brings us another fantastic DIY project. We've seen a few hard drive LED clocks in the past, but this one looks outstanding and is easier to create. It uses POV... |
