Prepping the Receiver

Start by removing the back of the doorbell receiver. That is the part without the button. 2. locate the small speaker. It should have two wires running to it. 3. 4.

For instructions, start there. Aerial Photography Systems. These are commercial systems intended for daily use.

Aerial Photography Systems

By our estimates, based on the number of systems in the field and the average daily number of shots per unit, our blimp photography systems take over 3,000 photos per day in over 30 countries! Benefits of a Balloon Camera System There are many uses for balloon photography, to name a few: • Real Estate –developments, neighborhoods, estate homes, horse farms, ranches, shopping centers, progress views of construction projects, pre-construction floor views, land tract surveys • State, county, municipal road and other development projects • Environmental cleanup projects, archeological sites, photogrammetry projects • Roofing companies for roof top analysis (thermal) and post-construction photos Fly from 50 feet to 1000 feet The most desirable images can be achieved between 50 and 250 feet, with the added benefit of reaching 1000 feet with the aerostat.

Using a Kinect as an Infrared Camera. The Kinect is a peripheral for the Xbox 360 console that allows a user to interact with the Xbox 360 without touching a controller.

Using a Kinect as an Infrared Camera

A general description of the Kinect is that it is a depth camera. This means that you can place objects in front of it, and it will compute the distance from it to the objects, thus creating a depth image. Therefore, the Kinect can provide the locations of objects in an image relative to itself, and this information can be used in a variety of projects.

Arduino Airsoft Turret. While it seems that there are a lot of parts required, this project can be done on a relatively cheap budget depending on where you buy the parts.

Arduino Airsoft Turret

The following parts are what I used to make my turret, they do not have to be exactly the same. Parts: Crossman R-71 Airsoft gun Airsoft bullets Electronics: Arduino Mega Arduino Mega Protoshield from Sparkfun BlueSmirft-Bluetooth Modem VEX 9.6V battery (2) VEX Continuous Rotation motors VEX Extension Cables Assorted electronic parts *See airsoft gun electronics page. Arduino Target Practice. Building a Sentry Gun with Laser Trip Wire System and Arduino. Cut the metal sheets into 6 rectangular pieces(4 of equal length, 1 long, 1 short) and 2 square pieces.

Building a Sentry Gun with Laser Trip Wire System and Arduino

Below are the dimensions we used: 4x 6”(inch) by 2” 1x 10.5” by 2.4” 1x 2.5” by 2.4” 1x 10” by 10” 1x 9” by 9” Feet(6” by 2”): Bend the 4 metal piece 90 degrees at the 2” mark and make screw holes(at least 2) at the shorter end. [Image 1] Ultrasonic Range Finder with an ATtiny85 (With Shield) Infra Red Vest Code. This instructable is about the code and the devices used for the infra red vest.

Infra Red Vest Code

The sewing you have to invent yourself! This vest shows the infrared codes which are bombarding us all the time in rooms. Infrared is used for the remote controls of television sets, computers, video/dvd players, lamps, robots, and so on. The codes are sent at a frequency of 38 kHz. The signal itself is sent within the light spectrum range of infra red which is invisible for the human eye, but visible when you point your digital camera on the led. Some remote controls are sending several codes, or are in regular contact with the device they are supposed to control.

The IKEA Robot Lamp. Welcome to the SM-1 project from ArduinoArts.com!

The IKEA Robot Lamp

(A.K.A as the Annoying IKEA Lamp) We are proud to introduce you to the SM-1 project (aka the Annoying IKEA lamp), as part of the Toy hacking contest from the SeeedStudio.com friends. The project consists in modifying an IKEA 5€ lamp and adding it some sensors, lights, sound and movement to make it more fun. Animatronic Cat Ears. Remote Control Door - Internet Your Thing. We can instantly open a door or control anything we can connect. It works from any iPhone, Android, or PC. After connecting something we want to control, download the free app to a PC, open a port, and control it remotely from anywhere. It's open source so anyone can modify it to sense and control anything they like. You can try it out here.
