Binary Clock

Arduino Powered Binary Clock using ATmega168 microcontroller

This instructable will help you to build an Arduino Binary Clock.  The orignial idea for this instructable was designed by Daniel Andrade.  My instructable uses surface mount components, but can easily be adapted to through-hole components if you wish.  You can follow my other Instructable for Building Your Own Arduino to get started. I would encourage you to

TiDiGino Contest

TiDiGino Contest using arduino

The project TiDiGino We developed a new GSM remote control called TiDiGino. The name recalls the initials (TDGxx) of our previous GSM remote control and is also based on the Arduino project. All the details of this circuit can be found below, but no the sketch, because this is your assignment. The contestYou have to write the firmware for this project.  The device must perform all the functions of the past
