Prepping the Receiver. 1. 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. Solder a 3" (8cm) wire to each of the terminals on the speaker if you want to keep the chime noise. 4. 5. 6. 7. APMRover 2, a fun UGV project for full autonomous recon missions... [UPDATE: This project is now being ported to a proper Google Code repository and manual. For instructions, start there. You can also join the ArduRover User Group here.] Hello to ALL, the new firmware for APMRover v2 has been tested successfully on my rover on may 1st, 2012 on full autonomous reco mission following a navigation plan. This new release of the APMRover v2 works on the APM v1.4 with the OilPan shield (magnetometer + MT3329 GPS) and also of course on the APM v2.
The previous version of the APMRover v1.0 was a light size version specially designed for the APM1280 CPU (only) board and the MT3329 GPS. For the frame, I have used a Traxxas Monster Jam Grinder with a brushed and high power motor Titan 12T and its XL-5 ESC. The APMrover UGV is able to run itself following a list of recorded waypoints. The firmware APMrover2 for APM v1 + OilPan or APM v2 successfully tested can be downloaded HERE The APMrover v2 is also online on the official ArduPilot-Mega GIT repository HERE.
Balloon Camera Systems | Aerial Photography Systems. These are commercial systems intended for daily use. 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. 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.
Also, the Kinect contains many components that, with slight modifications, can be used for new purposes. As an example, this project will show how the Kinect can be used as an infrared (IR) camera. For a detailed description of how the Kinect works and how it can be used in different projects, I recommend that you read Making Things See by Greg Borenstein ( Add Ambient Notification Lights to an IKEA Desk Surface. GPS - Antennas - Proto-PIC | Proto-PIC.co.uk. BarePaint - Conductive Paint (50ml) from Cool Components. Robotiq Online. Home > Arduino Arduino Arduino is a coming together of a programming language and development tools and, a set of standardised and relatively inexpensive hardware modules that can be used by to develop interactive applications.
It is not necessary to be a technologist or engineer to master Arduino. Arduino development can be picked up by almost anybody. For a long time Arduino has been confined to 8 bit AVR microcontrollers. As the Arduino programming language is partly a subset of C++, and it is possible to compile C++ code for the PIC32 using the GNU MIPS C++ compiler, working with the ChipKIT/Arduino may turn out to be a good introduction to C++ embedded systems programming for the PIC32. In the near future we will also be selling the ARM Cortex M3 based Maple boards from Leaflabs. ChipKIT based variants of the Arduino starter kit are also available.

Arduino Target Practice. A quick demo video for your pleasure. This is an instructable for a target practice system for airsoft and nerf weapons. The system has been designed to test a shooter’s reaction times and accuracy. Sam and I have been meaning to do this project for a while, and when the microcontroller competition opened, coinciding nicely with the end of our university exams giving us a real push to pick up the arduino and get stuck in. This is the first project either of us has attempted on the arduino as well as instructables, so as yet are still inexperienced. On the upside we both have coding experience and both taking electronics based courses at university.
So please go easy on us and we thank you in advance for your comments and advice. The setup is based on the arduino microcontroller and has four main parts other than the arduino itself. So here is the equipment you are going to need, seperated into their individual sections. Misc: Alot of wire A number of prototyping breadboards. 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. 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] Base(9” by 9”): Make screw holes that match your feet’s at 4 corners of the metal piece to mount the feet and a hole in the center for the pivot(the hole size depend the bolt you’re using). [Image 2] Gun Support(10.5” by 2.4”): Bend the metal piece 90 degrees at the 2” mark and the 6.5” mark to form a deformed U. Turning Panel(10” by 10”): Make screw holes that match the gun support’s at one corner of the metal piece and one hole in the center for the pivot(should be slightly larger than the pivot but smaller than your ball bearings). Ultrasonic Range Finder with an ATtiny85 (With Shield) Now that you’ve put the Arduino into its Programming state, and connected the shield, it’s time to program the ATtiny85 chip, now I’ll show you how to make the LED on the board blink.
Go to this link and follow those instructions to get the core library for ATtiny’s loaded into the Arduino IDE, Once you’ve done that then copy the code below into the IDE and upload it (Once you’ve selected the correct board.) Infra Red Vest Code. This instructable is about the code and the devices used for the infra red vest. 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.
Cameras but also insects (for instance) do have infra red vision. Some remote controls are sending several codes, or are in regular contact with the device they are supposed to control. When a infra red code is detected by the vest the led's light up. The vest provide enough space for a large collection of remote controls as a belt and in the pocket at the right hand side, where also the chips and the batteries are hidden. The IKEA Robot Lamp. Welcome to the SM-1 project from ArduinoArts.com! (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.
(even that we have made a few other hacks to this same lamp as the Iphone photostudio). Here is a sample diagram of what we have in mind (and hope to be able to make it real!). Part 1 So, the first thing that we need is the lamp: and the Grove Toy Kit from our friends of SeeedStudio.com The basic idea is to detect if there is movement or not (with the motion detector); if there is movement we start the servo no.2 and play a pre-recorded message. Let´s dissarm all of it. Now, we are using some spare parts (also from IKEA), from the EXPEDIT furniture. Now, lets drill the lamp head to attach it to the servo arm. And this is how it looks!!! 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. In the kickstarter video we show creating a virtual fence around our house to automagically open the garage door and let the dog out when we approach home. For less than $50 of easy to find parts and a little ingenuity, we can let our best friend out as we approach home so he can meet us at the door. We've also created prototypes that can open the kennel door or activate other items as we approach or leave home, work, or any other location.
