After over spending nearly 20 hours extra on fixing peggy2 board I mentioned in the previous post, there is only a few hours left for me to work on CMUcam3-Arduino system and its facial-recognition driven motor system. The basic programming architecture is shown below. When in “interaction mode”, CMUcam3 camera dictates the only input information of […]
Simple Remote Data Plotting using Android / Arduino / pfodApp This Instructable shows you how to plot Arduino sensor data on your Android mobile and capture it for later downloading to your computer. These instructions are also avaliable at www.pfod.com.au No Android programming is required and very little the Arduino programming is needed. It is […]
Overview This project builds a Christmas lights controller for the GE Color Effects lights allowing programmed control of up to 8 sets of Christmas lights. Furthermore, it provides a function specific language for programming patterns for these lights and an emulation environment for testing the programs requiring the lights to be built or hung. Pre-reading […]
In this project we will use an existing FM radio which went repair a long time ago, to convert it into a Smart Wireless FM Radio controlled using Phone, with the help of Arduino and Processing. We can convert any manually operated electronic device into a Smart Device using the same procedure. Every electronic device […]
The Bosch BNO055 combines tri-axis accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to provide orientation to users. About the Sensor The BNO055 uses three triple-axis sensors to simultaneously measure tangential acceleration (via an accelerometer), rotational acceleration (via a gyroscope), and the strength of the local magnetic field (via a magnetometer). Data can then be either sent to an external […]
I had one remote controlled project that needed an Arduino running 24/7 but I didn’t want to leave my $32 Arduino UNO, so I decided to buy some pieces and created my own Arduino. The most important part was buying the microcontroller. These were my options: ATMega328P-PU with Optiboot ~ $5.50 (Sparkfun) / $5.19 (Digikey) […]
Welcome to the second article in the tutorial series in which I’m building a remote controlled Arduino based vehicle robot. Here is the list of articles I have published: Part I: Hardware Components Part II: Programming the Arduino (this article) Part III: Assembling the Robot Part IV: A (Not So) Basic Robot Firmware Part V: […]
*NOTE* THIS PROJECT IS DONE BY A GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC. Concept: Trigger gun when laser is blocked by intruding object. Note: Tilting is included for expandability but not used in this project. Skill Level: Basic soldering and basic metal works Things You Need: Toy Gun(Any will do, preferably a semi-auto) Continuous Rotation […]
In this project, we are going to build a soil moisture sensor with an Arduino microcontroller. A soil moisture sensor, also called a hygrometer, measures the amount of moisture, or water, in the soil. Therefore, we can tell whether the soil has enough moisture or not. So it is a good diagnostic tool for caring […]
Hello, I have plans to build myself a solar powered wireless Geiger counter using a RH Electronics Arduino IDE Geiger counter connected via a serial connection through a logic level converter to a 3.3V ATmega328P-AU Pro MCU with an ESP8266 serial WiFi tranceiver to send the readings from the Geiger counter to radmon.org.I intend to […]
