Made by Nichole Miranda.   The environment around us affects us and how we act on a daily basis. Lighting is something to be considered. Here I will demonstrate how I made my Arduino Beach Galaxy Mood Lamp! Beachy in the morning and a moody galaxy in the evening. Let us set the mood, create a vibe and have a more productive atmosphere around us by considering the lighting of our home or your room.   Materials (for the lamp): (For the head of the lamp and the base) Balloon Glue/Zoy Paste Water Paper Bag Tissue Tissue core Masking Tape Paintbrush Any cardboard or carton boxes (ex. ce ..read more

Made by Amhely Generalao.   During this time of the pandemic, we students continue our education through virtual and online set-up at home. Many tend to make their learning space comfy and suitable for studying and learning so here is a DIY lamp that you can add up to your décor and interior designs.    Materials used: Hard plastic card cover (or any flat hard plastic material) 2 circular Styrofoam (can be any shape of your desire as long as one is bigger than the other) Felt paper (any color but in my case black) Tracing paper (can be substituted with onion skin paper) Popsi ..read more

  Before doing this project make sure you already know the basics of making an LED fading effect. If you’re not sure how the fade effect works, you may want to read this article first: Become a Master of the Fade In Fade Out Effect (Arduino Style)   The way this project works is that there are 2 LEDs. Both LEDs are turned off at the start of the program. Then when the Arduino board is powered on, the first LED performs a fade-in effect and upon reaching its maximum brightness, it goes into a fade-out effect. Once this procedure is complete, the second LED does the same thing. First ..read more

  “Why do I need to randomize the brightness of an LED”, you may ask? Well, you may come across an idea to make a flameless campfire effect. Or you may want to make an artificial fireplace project made out of LEDs which you can place on a wall of your room. By varying the brightness of LEDs in rapid succession, you will be able to generate a flame effect.   To achieve this effect, you will need two Arduino functions: random () and randomSeed(). Random numbers are very useful if you need your LEDs or any project to behave differently each time it is run, instead of a definite set of ..read more

Made by Crich Ociones.   For this project, we will be making a PINBALL MACHINE. Pinball is an arcade entertainment machine in which a ball careens around the machine's interior, hitting various lights, bumpers, ramps, and other targets depending on its design.   Materials: Carton Box Scissors Popsicle Sticks Pencil Glue Gun Sanrio Hair Tie Marble Skewer Toothpick {mp4}ociones-q2-ep{/mp4}   For the electronics: Arduino board touch sensor infrared sensor piezo buzzer LEDs breadboard jumper wires   Procedure:   Step 1. Make the parts of the pinball machine  car ..read more

Made by Paolo Tuquib.   My Exit Product for this 2nd QTR. is a prototype game called 3 stacks, 3 shots. This game comprises 3 stacks of plastic cups placed on top of a sensor box. The goal of the game is to shoot down all the cups with only 3 bullets from a nerf gun or 3 tennis balls in your hand. I had initially an idea to just simply put down 3 cups spread away from each other, but then I remembered that cups can be stacked together to create a satisfying domino effect whenever the bottom cups are shot down. These 3 bottom cups have sensors below them hidden inside the box that detects ..read more

Made by: Jerhen Martinez.   For the past quarters, I have learned a lot of things about Arduino. I learned about Lighting up LEDs, using sensors, creating sounds from a piezo buzzer, and more. For this quarter, I learned all about more sensors such as potentiometers and actuators like servo motors. Potentiometers are used to activate other parts of the Arduino project such as LEDs. Servo motors are used to bring movement to your Arduino project. It can give the illusion that the project created has muscles to move on its own. With the new discovery of servo motors, I included them i ..read more

Made by Kayla Roa.   Robby the Robot is an Arduino robot consisting of LED Lights, IR Sensor, Piezo Buzzer and Servo Motors. The robot is an inspiration from a Magic 8-Ball. It can be used for fortune-telling and seeking answers.   Materials: Arduino Microcontroller Servo Motors IR Sensor Piezo Buzzer LED Lights Cardboard Colored Papers Toothpicks   {mp4}roa-q3-ep{/mp4}   Instructions:   1. Firstly, make the necessary wirings needed for the robot before making the frame or body of the robot.   2. Take your cardboard and cut out rectangles for the base ..read more

Made by Shandale Gulfan.   This quarter, we focused on actuators and how they work. If we want our Arduino projects to be able to produce motion, we need to add actuators which is what I have incorporated into this project.   We all have days when our tables are filled with our things. Be it pens, papers, tape—everything leads to one big mess. Using simple materials that we can see in our homes and the knowledge of sensors and actuators, I thought of making a simple organizer that would keep my stuff inside and would also be fun to use! This organizer will hold your things and keep ..read more
