Current Shunts
Power
Camping Battery Meter
Difficulty

This is more of an electronics lesson than anything else, We go over the fundamental electronics for building a complete circuit idea, discussing Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's law, analog and digital values, and the difference between website and embedded-C code.

Guess That Song Game
Difficulty

Turn your living room into a real life game show and have fun playing with your family and friends! Prepare some mp3 files to play and try to score the most amount of points with an automatic game app on the raspberry Pi. See who has the most musical knowledge between songs of today and yesteryear.

DIY Secret Knock Detector
Difficulty

Learn how to build a DIY Secret Knock Detector for unique access control. Create a secret entrance and impress your friends with this cool project.

GPS Speedometer
GPS Speedometer
Difficulty

Using our Arduino-compatible GPS module and TFT Screen, this project displays basic GPS information such as longitude, latitude, altitude, speed, and distance travelled from point A to B.

Test & Tools
Wireless Garden Monitor
Difficulty

Here's a project that uses two Arduino boards to communicate wirelessly - the first Arduino reads a soil moisture sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor, and sends the data to a second Arduino that displays the data in a graph and text.

Power
Hand Gesture Power Socket
Difficulty

Wax-on Wax-off lighting, just like karate kid! Use this gesture controlled powerpoint kit as a fun way to turn on power sockets around your house.

Silent Alarm Clock
Sight & Sound
Silent Alarm Clock
Difficulty

Do you need an alarm clock that doesn't wake anyone up next door?

Test & Tools
GPS World Clock
Difficulty

While most phones have the ability to display the local time throughout the world, you may not always have access to an internet connection.

Entertainment
Tiny85 Game
Difficulty

We're glad we've got the ATTiny85 IC because now we can build some really tiny projects.

Ultrasonic Distance & Compass Reader
Ultrasonic Distance and Compass Reader
Difficulty

I had previously developed a little project which used an ultrasonic distance sensor and a clever little library called ‘talkie’.

Metronome
Entertainment
Metronome
Difficulty

We usually think of soldering irons, pliers and oscilloscopes when we think of electronic tools, and while this project may not be useful to the electronics enthusiast we think it's a good way of showing how Arduino based tools can be useful in other fields - in this case for musicians

Test & Tools
Revive your Arduino - ISP Programming
Difficulty

A handy tool to have in your Arduino Kit is an ISP programmer.

Benchtop Power Supply
Power
Benchtop Power Supply
Difficulty

What better way to get back in to work with your own personal benchtop power supply.

Game Machine
Entertainment
Duinotech Game Machine
Difficulty

We found a little game project online at http://gamebuino.com, and with it being open-source, realised we could make our own version of it using duinotech parts.

Arduino RFID Keypad
Security & Surveillance
Arduino RFID Keypad
Difficulty

Here's a security project designed with versatility in mind- it's inspired by our LA5353 RFID Keypad, but because it uses the XC4630 LCD Touchscreen, the setup of cards and users is a bit easier.

Microbit Playground
Young Makers
Microbit Playground
Difficulty

Play around with the basics of Microbit.

Atari Punk Synth
Sight & Sound
Atari Punk Synth
Difficulty

Make your next album with our next generation music maker device! Using simple electronic components, we have copied the original and well known Atari Punk Console synthesizer to make this unique "cheap-box" musical synth.
