Parking with Arduino for toy cars

Miniature car parking, controlled by Arduino




Do you like toy cars?. Want to make a fun toy for kids?
Then do not miss this fun Arduino project.
An Arduino (of course), a servo, resistors, and 7-segment display, only this need (good and work for it a bit for parking), to have a real garage-controlled seats.
A few simple sensors made of foil, are responsible for detecting the entry and exit of cars, raising the bar and counting the seats.
Simple and ingenious!

Arduino 'Space Invaders' on a 16x2 LCD

The legendary game 'Space Invaders' played on an Arduino, and 16x2 LCD 


Arduino Space Invaders

Only one Arduino, an HD44780 LCD 16x2 characters , a buzzer and Wii Nunchuk adapter, are required to recover the legendary game 'Space Invaders'.
The game is controlled from a Nunchuk, and difficulty changes as the game progresses, increasing speed and changing the type of 'invader'.
The game consists of a series of invaders that moves on the top line, and our spacecraft is controlled from the Nunchuck (movements and shot) on the line below. The buzzer is responsible for the 'special effects'

Christmas Tree Arduino Shield

Arduino shield, shaped as Christmas tree !!!


Arduino shield, shaped as Christmas tree




A simple prototype board, shaped like fir, turned into a 'Shield' to Arduino.
The circuit can not be simpler, just a few LEDs, a resistor and a connector to link directly to the Arduino board.
A simple code makes the LEDs will change and creating a Christmas effect.
Perfect to have it on your desk and take a Christmas touch work area.

WI-FI Arduino Radio

Internet Arduino Radio



A complete Wi-Fi Radio based on an Arduino Mega.
Raffi has reused his old box Yamaha radio, to build a very complete WI-FI Radio.
The project consists of a TL-WR703N router, a USB stick, USB sound card, an Arduino Mega, a Ethernet module enc28j60 , IR receiver, 16 × 2 LCD and some components.
The result is stunning!.
The firmware of the router TL-WR703N, has been replaced by OpenWRT, and also installed a MDP server.
The Arduino Mega is connected to the router via ethernet enc28j60 module, and allows send commands and receive station information for display on the LCD.
As the router runs an MDP, is accessible via Web, either via a PC or through a android mobile phone.

Arduino + Android + Bluetooh

How to control arduino board using an android phone and a bluetooth module 


Arduino + Android + Bluetooth


A small tutorial on how to control an Arduino using a cheap bluetooth module and an Andorid phone.
The author has created a simple Android application, using the MIT's app Inventor.
As an example, has created a small application to transmit the temperature measured by a DS18b20 sensor to the mobile phone.

Yes, it's true. A complete mobile phone with Arduino heart.
David has created a basic phone, which can make and receive calls and text messages, store numbers, names and display time.
He has used an Arduino GSM shield and a few more components, and has two variants: one with an array of LEDs and one with an LCD.
On their website are available schemes and programs needed for yourself can make this super-style brick Nokia!!
