Telescope Dew Heater
Power
Telescope Dew Heater
Difficulty

This project brings together a few Duinotech Modules and some other parts to create a versatile tool.

Test & Tools
Programmable Remote Control
Difficulty

One of the really great things about the Arduino community is how many extra features they have added to the IDE.

Power
High Efficiency Power Supply
Difficulty

Learn the basics of electronics in making this high efficiency 5V power supply.

Wireless Garden Monitor
Sight & Sound
Digital Photo Frame
Difficulty

Use our new WiFi UNO and 240 x 320 TFT screen!

Ultrasonic Theremin
Difficulty

The Ultrasonic Theremin plays back samples, but modulates them depending on the distance from your hand to the ultrasonic sensor, giving an effect similar to a traditional Theremin.

USB Serial Converter
Arduino Tool: USB-Serial Converter
Difficulty

We usually think of tools as something that we use to get hardware built and working.

IR Remote Learner
Test & Tools
IR Remote Learner
Difficulty

With our IR Remote Learner kit, you will be able to learn the custom codes of those hard to replace remotes.

Security & Surveillance
GPS-Tracker
Difficulty

Build your own GPS tracker:

Power
Wi-Fi Relay Controller
Difficulty

Use relays effortlessly with this simple two-part setup! Simply connect any device you want to test or activate to the relay module; then use the in-built phone app to control them whenever you want.

LCD Arduino Clock
Test & Tools
LCD Arduino Clock
Difficulty

This is an easy project to assemble- just one main board and two shields, but gives a fully functional, easy to read clock display which retains the time, even when disconnected from power.

Power
Solar MPPT Charge Controller
Difficulty

Wondered what goes into Solar charge controllers? And what makes MPPT better than any of the others? Find out yourself, by making this Solar MPPT Charge Controller project. Uses a simple Arduino Nano to control and regulate the flow of power from the panel to the battery, and has a output relay to automatically turn off when the Battery gets too low. A great project for DIY amatures and solar aficionados.

Test & Tools
Motherload Datalogger
Difficulty

The Master Datalogger Project, with Google Cloud Platform!

Power
Bluetooth Power Point
Difficulty

Control a collection of power points with your phone app.

Christmas Countdown Clock
Difficulty

This project probably has the most parts of any of the ones we have done but is sure to help spread some Christmas joy.

Constructing a Wired Infrared Remote Extender
Difficulty

IR (infrared) remote controls have been around for about 50 years, with TV being one of the first major applications. They are used in many fields, so components and modules for IR remote control systems are widely available. Here’s how to use them to build an IR remote control extender.

Festive
Shake the Present
Difficulty

Shake the box to find what you get in this magic 8-ball styled Christmas gift game.

FESTIVE
LED Musical Christmas Tree
Difficulty

One of the ideas that sprung to mind when we first got in the XC4380 LED Strip Module was that it would be great for displays like Christmas lights.
