 | 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,... |
 | Snowpocalypse? Build a Remote Control Snowblower
While the east coast of the U.S. was covered in a thick blanket of snow this year, a robotics expert was in locked in his lab building an remote control snowblower. So instead of having to go out in the cold to uncover his driveway, he can now... |
 | Sports Car Controlled Entirely via iPod Touch
This GTO is controlled entirely via iPod Touch, allowing the owner to start the car, open the doors and trunk, roll down the windows, control the radio, arm the car alarm and even rev the engine - all from across the parking lot. Range is... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | Remote Control PVC Submarine With Onboard Camera
While the yellow submarine pictured above doesn't get marks for pretty looks, put it in the water and the miniature submarine makes up with performance. It's a powerful remote control beast which also boasts an onboard camera. While it's not early... |
 | Superb DIY RC Helicopter with Six Rotors
We've seen an Arduino powered 4-rotor copter, but if that's not enough you can upgrade to six individual rotors with this hexacopter. As you can see in the video above, this thing can reach some incredible speeds with precision control. ... |
 | James Bond Style Wireless Door Lock
Remote locking is quite common for automobiles, not so common for doors. This James Bond-ish home security system uses a coded signal from the wristwatch to the electronic box on the door to lock and unlock the door. Far more stylish than... |
 | Arduino Powered Helicopter with Four Rotors
We've seen loads of superb Arduino projects, but few which involve complex aeronautics. Here we have the "quadrocopter" - an arduino powered, remote control helicopter with four rotor blades. It's a superb build overall with the finished... |
 | Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Submarine!
Strangely enough, we've featured loads of Star Wars projects, but rather few Star Trek builds. Not to fear! Here's an extraordinary U.S.S. Enterprise model which has been turned into a submarine. This is just one of many outstanding models... |
