Chatty Coasters are interactive coasters that listen for silences and insert provocative conversation starters into them. Chatty Coasters are interactive drink holders that listen for silences in conversation and insert provocative questions into them. In order to encourage healthy, thought-provoking conversation in kitchens, Chatty Coaster waits for drinkers to rest their cup on it and breaks […]
Smart Shop Window A SmartLiving Experiment where using a QR code to control a light in a shop window. For this experiment we use a Grove LED (representing the shop’s light) and a Smart phone to access the control switch. It’s an ideal starter project to become familiar with the Arduino, Grove and using your […]
Actually, many of us may suffer or afraid from being his car stolen. In this project, I will try to help you to protect your cars and even control them remotely. Basically, you have to leave a mobile phone in your car and when the car starts to move it uses its sensors to detect […]
When my colleague @thegibertchan first set up his homemade “Clapper” in our office, I knew immediately that I had to learn how it was made. The way it works is simple. A small microphone listens to two claps (within four seconds of each other) and it triggers a switch to turn on or off. Gilbert […]
The working voltage of this system is DC5V. It can measure the current temperature, humidity and smoke. It can display real-time data by the 1602 LCD and can realize the sound and light alarm when in the dangerous temperature and humidity. It is a simply and easily to operate monitoring alarm system about temperature humidity […]
Every once in a while there is a question in the Arduino forum on how fast you can toggle an IO pin. The answer to this question depends on your line of thinking / what you will allow as an answer. So here is my take on performance optimization for its own sake. First of […]
Performing the control of the AR.Drone with the iOS or Android apps is really difficult. The controls are very unstable because the app virtual joystick hasn’t a good sensitivity response. The idea was to use a real joystick instead of the Parrot application itself: So, to create an application to control the quadcopter, you need […]
The transmitter in the remote control handset sends out a stream of pulses of infrared light when the user presses a button on the handset. A transmitter is often a light emitting diode (LED) which is built into the pointing end of the remote control handset. The infrared light pulses form a pattern unique to […]
Arduino / Raspberry Pi Internet Radio This project represents an engaging integration between the Arduino microcontroller and the Raspberry Pi single-board computer to construct a functional Internet Radio. The project is best suited for individuals at an intermediate skill level, particularly those who already have some experience with Linux-based environments. While the technical requirements are […]
Story Fascinated by this humorous anthropomorphic idea on instructable that left me philosophizing deeply about the essence of art, I decided to make this a project after witnessing many ruthless battles between human and robot on YouTube. How does it work? The Arduino “listens” to the state of the switch and actuates the servo when […]
