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

Ultrasonic Theremin
Entertainment
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.

Shake the Present

Difficulty

There's not a lot to construct in this project - it's just an UNO and LCD Touch Shield, but if you want a simple project that looks slick then it's a good place to start.

Power Usage Monitor
Power
Power Usage Monitor
Difficulty

In this project we built a current meter using the AC712 current sensor, instead of just displaying or reporting current measurements we made the project a little more interesting by calculating power consumption (which is just POWER = CURRENT x VOLTAGE), and reporting the power consumption via email.

Duinotech Thermostat
Test & Tools

Here's another easy to build project similar to the LED tester, and using the same hardware.

Arduino RFID Keypad
Security & Surveillance
Arduino RFID Keypad
Difficulty

THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW/CONSTRUCTION, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. 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.

Trailer Voltage Monitor
Test & Tools
Trailer Voltage Monitor
Difficulty

One of the guys at the office here asked if I could build an Arduino device for monitoring the voltage of the 12V battery in his trailer- as now required for registration of some trailers which have electric brakes.
