High Speed Photography Flash Trigger by Sound or Laser Barrier (Arduino)

“Introduction High-speed photography can be a game of trial and (much) error. When I started experimenting, I would repeat the same action (breaking bottles / popping balloons / dropping objects in water / …) while my camera was on burst mode. Shooting at 7 …

How Does It Work: DIY Relay Modules

“After looking through many instructables it’s clear that many makers love to use the pre-assembled relay modules to switch large loads or mains voltages using their Raspberry Pi or Arduino. These can be bought from places like eBay for …

Make Your Own Solid State Relay

“In this project we will have a look at solid state relays, find out how they work and when to use them and in the end create our own DIY Solid State Relay. Let’s get started!”

Rotary - Encoder Control With Ti Launchpad

“There are many cases where one needs a button, encoder, or a device to use it as a input for several settings. The rotary encoder having no physical connection to a circuitry is a very sophisticated and long term solution …

DIY Arduino Soldering Station

“In this project I will show you how to create an Arduino based soldering station for a standard JBC soldering iron. During the build I will talk about thermocouples, AC power control and zero point detection. Let’s get started …

Invisible Killer of the Phone Ring

“Several years ago, a scammer woke me up at 4 am. Some nonsense about me “owing to the IRS”. A few months later, some clueless telemarketer forgot about the existence of time zones and rang me up at 6 am …

Switcher – A WiFi Open Source Power Switch and Socket Based on ESP8266

“This is my latest project – The Switcher, a Wifi, open source, power switch and socket. Built with modularity in mind – It can be mounted as a wall lights switch or used as a standalone power socket. Switcher gives the ability …

8 Channel Optically Isolated IO Board

“Opto-Isolated I/O Board offers a compact & convenient way to interface industrial type inputs/outputs to your microcontroller boards, Signal transmission between circuits of different potentials and impedances etc.”

Servo control with microchip microcontroller

“In this instructable I want to show you how to control a servo using a microcontroller (18F2550) and how to avoid using an unknown library to control a servo.”
