If you are anything like me, you probably like playing the computer game minesweeper. When playing, I've noticed that since there's no penalty for los...
Here's what you need to make it: 1 Arduino 1 Stick of shocking gum (http://amzn.to/MOgtAJ) 1 5v Relay 1 IR receiver diode 1 NPN transistor 1 10k resis...
You have to begin by stealing the shocker from the gum pack. Here's how to do that: 1. Cut off back (see picture 2) 2. Open up (see picture 3) 3. Unho...
Before doing anything, I needed to find out how to induce the shock. After playing around with it for a little bit, I found that when the negative lea...
After the explanation in the previous step, it's clear which which wires on the shocker must be put in a relay. It helps to solder extra wires on so y...
This part is tricky. A relay switch is simply a switch that in not controlled by pressing a button, or sliding switch, but is controlled by current. I...
This is fairly easy. Hook up one of the wires to the common pin of the relay, and the other to the normally open pin of the relay. It doesn't matter w...
Here's the code for the Arduino. It's quite simple really; when it receives the letter 'X' from the serial port, it throws the relay, inducing a shock...
As I said earlier, most of this is not my work. It was taken from Luke Noonan and is available here: www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~johnnoon/programming/sweepe...
You're now ready to play! Simply plug the Arduino into you're computer, upload the code, run the processing script, and play! The game is a good recre...
