Arduino Based Real-Time Oscilloscope The Oscilloscope is an essential instrument for the workbench of every electronics engineer or maker. It is primarily used for monitoring waveforms and analyzing voltage levels, frequency, noise, and other signal characteristics that can change over time at its input. Embedded software developers utilize it for code debugging while technicians depend […]
This is a tutorial on how to use 123D Catch to get a 3D scan of your whole body. Once you have the scan or “catch” the tutorial will take you through a technique to clean it up and manipulate it ready for 123D Make. The tutorial will go through how to slice the model […]
Before describing how the automated system functions, it is important to describe the science of snowmaking in general and to define a few key terminology that will appear often in the remaining sections of the text. Although the science of snowmaking is complex, for the purposes of this study, just a quick summary is required. […]
There is always a need for automating a process,be it a simple/monstrous one.I got the idea to do this project from a simple challenge that i faced while finding methods to water/irrigate our small piece of land.The problem of no current supply lines and costly generators (to operate our pump) added to the difficulty. So […]
Some years ago, I came across Mignon and Meggy Jr RGB, and was intrigued enough to want to make something similar, but with a wider screen, more possibilities for experiment and play, and with few parts. I called it Armadino, after seeing an armadillo logo on the spine of a children story book and mixing it with the word […]
INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: I am a basic system that utilizes Arduino for automating the watering of small potted plants or crops. This system monitors soil moisture levels by using LEDs for indications and emitting an alarm beep if the soil is dry. If the soil is dry, the irrigation system will be triggered to pump […]
My close friend, who works as a teacher, was conducting quizzes in her class that involved students competing to answer questions. This caused some students to complain about not getting a chance to answer even though they had raised their hands first. I chose to gift her with a buzzer similar to those used on […]
The 16×2 LCD And Keypad Shield is easy to use as it works seamlessly with the Arduino “LiquidCrystal” library. With just a few lines of code, you can set up the LCD and show messages on it. Additionally, you have the option to create more complex projects like displaying menu items and using buttons to […]
I’ve been in possession of an Arduino Duemilanove for a couple of weeks. If you are unfamiliar with the Arduino, it is defined as “a platform for creating electronics prototypes using adaptable, user-friendly hardware and software”. The setup consists of a small microcontroller, a USB port for programming on a computer, a power socket for […]
DIY wattmeter with an Arduino Measuring power and energy using regular multimeters can be challenging or even unfeasible at times. In order to conduct such a precise and reliable measurement, a specific wattmeter is necessary. Due to their high cost, an alternative option is introduced in the form of a homemade wattmeter using an Arduino […]
