- NameMono VU Meter PCB
- Bykurt
- A VU meter is used to display the loudness of an audio signal. This open source VU meter lights up ten LEDs to show how loud a mono audio signal is. Two of these can be made to show the loudness of each channel in a stereo signal. This circuit is similar to "Mono VU Meter Breadboard" except it is...
- NameArduino Hardware Reset Circuit PCB
- Bykurt
- This circuit uses one pin to let you reset your Arduino in code. It pulls reset high for a couple milliseconds to ensure the Arduino has enough time to complete its reset cycle. This circuit is similar to Arduino Hardware Reset Circuit Breadboard, but it uses a PCB and requires soldering skills t...
- NameScavenger Hunt Beacon Decoder and AVR Programmer
- Bykurt
- Use this to decode the messages broadcast by a Scavenger Hunt Beacon. The messages are displayed on an LCD screen when the Beacon's IR beam hits the Decoder's receiver. This project also doubles as an AVR Programmer Shield for an Arduino.
- NameScavenger Hunt Beacon
- Bykurt
- Use this beacon to broadcast secret messages with infrared light. Only people with the Scavenger Hunt Beacon Decoder can read your messages. Place a couple of these around your town and have each one broadcast a clue about the location of the next one.

- NameKnight Rider Lights
- Bykurt
- The red flashing lights on the front of the car KITT in the popular Knight Rider series are an iconic visual effect. You can easily recreate this effect with this open source hardware project. Using a couple simple components, we'll light up a series of LEDs in order giving the illusion that the ...
- NameElectronic Dice
- Bykurt
- Push a button to roll the dice. When you let go of the button, the result shows up on the red LEDs just like on real dice. This is a simple beginner's open source hardware project that you can show off to your friends the next time you play a board game and can't find the dice for it!
- NamePortal Turret Plushie
- Bykurt
- Deadly, yet adorable, this plush turret from the game Portal talks and responds when you play with it. It senses when you pick it up, knock it over, or walk in front of it. The stuffing and soft fleece skin make it super cuddly, too!Inspired by Up, not North.
- NameOHH Beginner's Guide
- Bykurt
- A simple guide to help you along your way to posting your first project to the Open Hardware Hub.
- NameBlinking LED
- Bykurt
- Make an LED blink with this simple circuit. By using a 555 timer in astable mode, a square wave is generated. This square wave is output to the LED to turn it on and off. The LED blinks about 3 times per second with the values given in the schematic. The blinking rate can be varied by changing th...
