Arduino Interfacing Introduction to Arduino: Arduino serves as a medium for engaging with the physical world through sensors. It constitutes an open-source physical computing platform centered around a straightforward and affordable micro-controller board, accompanied by a development environment tailored for writing software compatible with the board. As an open-source electronics prototyping platform, Arduino facilitates the […]

Soooo….Wifey decided that it was time for a new pet. Spin the wheel….A Spotted Gecko!! Well, Geckos are apparently very temperature sensitive creatures so we invested in a UTH (Under Tank Heatpad) for those of us that are new to the world of reptiles. The purpose of said UTH is to provide warmth from below, to […]

Many soil monitoring sensors are available, compatible with Arduino and other embedded modules, making them suitable for programming in different project domains, including Smart Agriculture Monitoring Systems. However, a challenge arises due to the lack of a standardized, versatile module that can be easily adapted to various projects and applications. In this endeavor, our goal […]

Introduction In advanced electronics PCB assembly lines, pick and place machines are typically used to retrieve components from an SMD reel and position them on a PCB. However, this becomes impractical for medium-scale production or when employing THT (through-hole type) components on your PCB. This situation is particularly relevant in cost-effective board assemblies, such as […]

Introduction Arduino represents an open-source electronics prototyping platform built upon versatile and user-friendly hardware and software components. Its purpose is to cater to artists, designers, hobbyists, and individuals keen on crafting interactive objects or environments. Getting Started with Arduino UNO The Arduino platform offers a variety of board options to choose from. For beginners, you […]

The popularity of Arduino boards has skyrocketed in recent times, thanks to the growing demand for automation in the market. These microcontrollers have become the go-to option for beginners looking to embark on their project-building journey, offering unparalleled ease of use and a wide range of options. Arduino has released several common boards that make […]

HW9 – Arduino The Task: In our Arduino project challenge, we were free to create anything of our liking, with the only requirement being that the circuit must either read a sensor or control an active component. During a class session, a practice example was demonstrated, involving a humidity sensor, LED, potentiometer, and LCD screen. […]

Game consoles are usually smashing hits but the recently announced WIN Max Handheld Game Console from Shenzhen based GamePad Digital (GPD) took things to a new level on Indiegogo as it raised almost 1.4 million dollars in just 24 hours of the campaign launch. The new game console features the Intel i5-1035G7 Ice Lake processor which comes with a 10nm process, 15W TDP, […]

I. Experiment Objective The main goal of this experiment is to gain proficiency in using the Arduino microcontroller to observe switches and sensors and to trigger devices like LEDs or a speaker based on specific sensor output values. II. Required Components List This experiment will necessitate the following components: • Two 1 kΩ resistors • […]

Sensors are essential for the functioning of senses. Within the field of robotics, the fundamental senses rely on basic sensors, such as mechanical switches that detect object contact, and photosensitive resistors and transistors that identify the presence or absence of light. Remarkably, a robot can accomplish significant tasks with just touch and rudimentary vision. In […]
