At the place I work, we use xymon to monitor of our servers. All of the services monitored are important, but we wanted a separate indicator to simply show the overall health of the most critical systems. Furthermore, we came up with the following criteria: We wanted this visible to everyone whether or not they […]

Power off from an Arduino Sketch using the Pololu Power Switch
If you need an Arduino to shut off from within your Sketch, this is the solution. We will explore wiring the Pololu Pushbutton Power Switch, programming the Arduino to shut off the power, and making the unit “power on” only. The Pololu Pushbutton Power Switch comes in two versions – the SV version geared towards […]
Bounce Back!
Responsive Pneumatic Envelop (A useless machine) Mockingly inspired by the blowfish, Bounce Back builds on state of the art bubble wrap shipping envelops by only inflating its bubbles when frightened by rough handling. Inversely, when the package is not being shuck, it will not inflate itself. Creators: Christian Gotthilf Steixner, Ayşe Esin Durmaz Bounce Back! […]

Arduino & TFT Screen Volume Mixer
Before i start this AMAZING tutorial on how to build a physical windows volume mixer, i want to apologize for my bad written English. Now, let’s get started. For this project I would like to build a sound mixer, but with a tft screen so i can see what I’m doing. I know there is a lot […]
Automatic Opening Garbage Can Cabinet
Sometimes you need to throw something away, but your hands are either full of garbage, or they’re contaminated with raw chicken or meat. I was able to make this automatic opening garbage bin with an Arduino Uno, and some supplies from Amazon, Ace Hardware and a few spare parts around the house. The prices were […]
Digital Read Serial using Arduino
This example shows you how to monitor the state of a switch by establishing serial communication between your Arduino and your computer over USB. Hardware Required Arduino Board A momentary switch, button, or toggle switch 10k ohm resistor breadboard hook-up wire Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect three wires to […]
Arduino Esplora Joystick Mouse
This sketch shows you how to read information from the Esplora’s joystick and use it to control the movement of the cursor on your computer. You’re making your Esplora into a mouse! This sketch will take over the mouse movement of your computer. If you lose control of your cursor do the following : unplug […]
Build a Robot That Creates Art
In this project I’m showing you how I made my own art robot. The whole concept is to illustrate how we as humans can work together and collaborate with machines and robots to create something new. Both the art style and ethos of the project was inspired by the great pop art artist Andy Warhol. […]
Arduino IoT Cloud ESP8266 NodeMCU Alexa Home Automation System | IoT 2021
In this IoT project, I have shown how to make an IoT-based Smart Home with Arduino IoT Cloud & Alexa using NodeMCU ESP8266 to control 4 home appliances with voice commands. If the internet is not available, then you can control the home appliances manually with switches. During the article, I have shown all the steps to make this smart home system. […]
