James - Your first Arduino Robot. Arduino Bike Speedometer. Karl Herrick | Arduino Motion Detector. As I have been traveling through Getting Started with Arduino I’ve been trying to take on the “tinkering” mentality described in chapter two titled, “The Arduino Way“. And as the text in the book states, “You should now experiment by looking at all the possible devices that have two contacts that close.” So I made a purposeful visit to Radio Shack to look for parts to hook up to it. What I came up with was a Parallax PIR Sensor. A top down view of the Arduino Motion Detector. The arduino, battery pack and a PIR motion sensor hooked up to a breadboard.

The package didn’t include documentation for the sensor, but I was able to locate it on their website. This gave me enough confidence to try and hook it up… particularly after deciding to modify the “Using a Pushbutton to Control the LED” example and corresponding code from the Getting Started with Arduino book.

Jaycar Electronics - Arduino Projects. Tools, Components & Cable Power & Energy Ecotech Power and Lighting Kits, Science & Learning Audio & Video IT & Comms Security & Surveillance Auto & Outdoors Gadgets Techstore Specials Welcome to Jaycar's dedicated arduino page. Getting started with microcontrollers used to be complex and expensive. The code editor has an easy one-click “compile/upload” feature that uploads your programs via USB, so you don’t even need an ISP programmer. Free software, hundreds of examples, circuit diagrams, programs, all kinds of projects and tutorials are openly available on the Internet to support these interactive boards.

My older son recently started school and needed his own desk for doing homework. I wanted to make something nicer than a simple tabletop with legs, and realized that I could also build in a bit of fun for when the homework is finished. Both my boys and I still had space travel on our minds from our summer trip to Kennedy Space Center. For this desk project, I decided to go with a NASA theme. I researched the Apollo Program as well as NASA's Mission Control Center, and designed my own console roughly based on those. I say "roughly" because the actual Mission Control does more monitoring than controlling, and isn't awash in the whiz-bang rocket noises young kids appreciate.

I took great liberties and made more of a "space-themed" play console than an accurate simulator. The desk resides under my son's loft bed (which I also built), and stays closed until the homework is finished: When playtime begins, the lid flips up to reveal the Mission Control console: Arduino - HomePage.
