This is an infrared remote control receiver for Arduino.It woks fine with any RC5 format remote control.The received RC5 code will be send to the serial port to be read on the serial console hyperterminal on windows at 9600 Baud-8-N-1.[more]

This is an Arduino-based oscilloscope.With this instruction int val_read = ((analogRead(0)*5) / 1024.0) you can see the signal as you want.The display of this oscilloscope is a color graphic LCD 240×320.(All documents in Spanish)[more]

This is a tutorial how to control an iPod with Arduino and remote to getting some music and sound.They use an unofficial remote control that found on the worldwide auction site for around 10 USD. TIL116 opto-isolator used between the Arduino and the remote to safely send signals in between the two. The remote works by you pushing a button which closes a circuit and that is interpreted in a certain way by the iPod.[more]

Here is an Arduino controlled Charliplexed LED heart just in time for Valentine’s Day. It uses a total of 6 wires to controll the 27 LEDs. A PIC or AVR could easily be used for this, butย�the designerย�have Arduinos lying around and they are easy to program.[more]

In this articleย�Davidย� play around the code Michael Smith created for a PWM based DAC. Davidย� modified his code so that other DAC options could be tried.ย�Davidย� compare the 8-Bit PWM DAC with the R2R DAC at various numbers of bits. You might be surprised at how well a 4-bit DAC sounds. This article includes several sound samples for the various DAC options and demonstrates some software abstraction that allows for multiple DAC options.[more]
