Thinking about starting with Arduino? Read!
Hi I just want to write a few words for those new to Arduinos, or those looking for tutorials, guides etc. If you haven’t got a Arduino board yet, you can get one from several places, I’ll list some of…

My new Serial LCD arrived!
Got my Serial 16×2 LCD today, I’m still quite noob when it comes to serial. But I’m gonna put out some simple and easy to follow tutorials for stuff when I get the hang of it 🙂 Anyhow, here’s just…
Arduino: Showing CPU load with 9 leds!
My new project, is a simple led-strip which shows CPU load. 9 led’s are used for this, could have used more but my tiny breadboard couldn’t hold more. Anyhow, it uses serial communication to receive how much the totalcpu usage…
Modified Pico, a Arduino Nano, but smaller.
Look at it?! I just fell in love with it 😛 Also, 24$ isn’t bad. So if you’re considering the Arduino Nano, why not try this one instead? Features: ATmega328 running at 16MHz with external resonator (0.5% tolerance) On-board FTDI232…
Bo/arduino advanced light tracker.
Made a followup to my light tracker, except this one can go up and down. So it follows light in more directions than the other ones. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fw6ausjl9o&w=425&h=344] Made of some cheap plastic-foam, wont last forever but long enough for me…
How to make a light tracker using arduino & photoresistors!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEhX27ahreI&w=480&h=385] This is how to make a simple light tracker/follower with the Arduino. The components you need apart from the Arduino is: 2x Photoresistors: “PHOTOCELL2 Miniature Photocell”. 2x 470 Ohms resistors. 1x Servo. And of course some wires, and a…
Guide: How to make a 9g micro servo continuous
It’s always good to have servos that works like a geared motor. That also can go in both direction and speed is adjustable, it’s very handy in robotic project or general vehicles. The servo I’m using is a Mystery Micro…
Arduino Mega on it’s way!
This is a beast compared to the old Diecimila, well I’ll let the specs speak for themself. Diecimila specs in parentheses. Arduino Mega specifications: Microcontroller: ATmega1280 (ATmega168) Operating Voltage: 5V Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12V Input Voltage (limits) : 6-20V Digital…
My two Arduino projects
Well, some months ago I bough a Arduino Diecimila. To put it simple it’s a little programmable electronic board, which has some inputs and outputs. Or to be more specific: The Arduino Diecimila is a microcontroller board based on the…
