New to microcontroller projects? Our XC3900 Duinotech Learning Kit has everything you need to get started with Arduino.

Test & Tools
Revive your Arduino - ISP Programming
Difficulty

A handy tool to have in your Arduino Kit is an ISP programmer.

Game Machine
Entertainment
Duinotech Game Machine
Difficulty

We found a little game project online at http://gamebuino.com, and with it being open-source, realised we could make our own version of it using duinotech parts.

IOT Button Notifier
Security & Surveillance
IoT Button Notifier
Difficulty

ESP8266 and an LCD screen to make an interactive WiFi button.

Smart Energy
RTC Power Point Timer
Difficulty

If you’ve been thinking about how you’d control a 240V appliance with an Arduino without worrying about getting zapped, then here is a solution.

Security & Surveillance
Intruder Alert
Difficulty

This is an updated version of our Intruder Alert project; designed to be both easier to manage and more secure.

Test & Tools
IoT Smart Wireless Switch
Difficulty

Here is a great project to get started with your very own IoT (Internet of Things) home automation project.

Power
High Efficiency Power Supply
Difficulty

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

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.

IR Remote Learner
Test & Tools
IR Remote Learner
Difficulty

With our IR Remote Learner kit, you will be able to learn the custom codes of those hard to replace remotes.

Security & Surveillance
GPS-Tracker
Difficulty

Build your own GPS tracker:

Power
Bluetooth Power Point
Difficulty

Control a collection of power points with your phone app.

Christmas Countdown Clock
Difficulty

This project probably has the most parts of any of the ones we have done but is sure to help spread some Christmas joy.

Festive
Shake the Present
Difficulty

Shake the box to find what you get in this magic 8-ball styled Christmas gift game.

Entertainment
Arduino Picture Frame
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
Duinotech Thermostat
Difficulty

Here's a project that will take you into the world beyond the basics of the Duinotech Learning Kit.

Test & Tools
ATtiny Programmer Shield
Difficulty

The best thing about at the ATtiny85 IC is undoubtedly its size, but this also makes it difficult to program.

Guess That Song Game
Difficulty

Turn your living room into a real life game show and have fun playing with your family and friends! Prepare some mp3 files to play and try to score the most amount of points with an automatic game app on the raspberry Pi. See who has the most musical knowledge between songs of today and yesteryear.

Mini Wi-fi Meter
Difficulty

This handy little tool can be used to check for any Wi-Fi signals around, use it to see how well the connection in your workshop is going or to see if there’s any free Wi-Fi hotspots when you're out and about.

Ultrasonic Distance & Compass Reader
Ultrasonic Distance and Compass Reader
Difficulty

I had previously developed a little project which used an ultrasonic distance sensor and a clever little library called ‘talkie’.

Benchtop Power Supply
Power
Benchtop Power Supply
Difficulty

What better way to get back in to work with your own personal benchtop power supply.

Sight & Sound
Atari Punk Synth
Difficulty

Make your next album with our next generation music maker device! Using simple electronic components, we have copied the original and well known Atari Punk Console synthesizer to make this unique "cheap-box" musical synth.

Sight & Sound
Arduino Power Saving and Battery Night Light
Difficulty

The Arduino IDE and boards make it very easy to design and prototype a circuit, and even build a circuit to do something useful.

Ethernet IO Controller
Arduino Ethernet IO Controller
Difficulty

Here’s a little project that isn’t hard to build, but really has unlimited uses.

Micro ROS Controller
Stem
Micro ROS Controller
Difficulty

Control your ROS projects with a simple to build controller

TEST & TOOLS
How to remove Header pins
Difficulty

Many off-the-shelf modules have header pins that can be difficult to work with, whether they are facing the right way or are the wrong configuration (vertical instead of horizontal, vice versa.)

Low Battery Alarm
Power
Low Battery Alarm
Difficulty

Simple alerts with the low battery alarm

Sight & Sound
Ultrasonic Parking Assistant
Difficulty

We saw a version of this project in The Shed Magazine, and thought it would be perfect to build using our duinotech parts.

Stem
Snake Game
Difficulty

Here's the first of our mini projects that you can build from parts in the XC3900 kit.

Jaycar DIY Christmas Star
Festive
Jaycar DIY Christmas Star
Difficulty

Jaycar-RCT-Hero
Test & Tools
Resistor & Capacitor Tester
Difficulty

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

Secret Knock Detector
Secret Knock Detector
Difficulty

We saw this project on Instructables, and had to try it for ourselves. Of course, we ended up using all the Duinotech parts we had around.

HCF-August-Oscilloscope
Test & Tools
Simple Duinotech Oscilloscope
Difficulty

This little test tool is designed to be easily put together if you need a very basic 'scope in a hurry.

Arduino RFID Keypad
Security & Surveillance
Arduino RFID Keypad
Difficulty

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.

Fingerprint Login
Security & Surveillance
Fingerprint Login
Difficulty

Sick of typing in your password every day when working or studying from home? Use our completely extensible fingerprint login system!

Telescope Dew Heater
Power
Telescope Dew Heater
Difficulty
