Hello everyone, In this instructable we will be using Arduino And Relay module to control home appliances. This instructable covers: Basics of Relays. Connecting Relays with Arduino. Controlling AC appliances using Relays. How it works: The relay uses an electromagnet to mechanically switch electric appliances. A relay can be operated by a relatively small electric […]

House Plant Babysitter Going away from a while? Need something to babysit your house plants?This box will automatically deliver an adjustable volume of water to four plants (or less) every day, or once every “x” day (up to seven days). A micro controller handles the time tracking and 120AC switching (via a relay). The relay […]

Every job has it’s routine. I am a software developer who works with a Git/Maven based workspace everyday. So when I start working, my daily routine is to update and build my local workspace, pulling changes from GitHub, execute a maven build and execute the updated software. Usually I get my first coffee after that, […]

There are lots of Arduino projects to read temperature with different devices, this is an easy one to measure high temperatures with type K thermocouples (1300ºC).Skills necessary for this project are basic (buying max IC already mounted) but I have mount an MAX31855 in a printed circuit (thanks to Antonio an specialist in this).With this […]

Inspiration What if I told you that 2+2=Red!?!? What!?! I know this sounds crazy but for people with synesthesia this might be their reality. Synesthesia is defined as “the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body.” This is […]

What’s that smell? It’s noxious gas of course! If you’re in an environment where there’s a possibility of gaseous release of which you’d rather not breathe, why not build an automatic system for sensing and alerting you? The design for the Environmental Alert System is driven by my motivation to understand the concentrations of different […]

Once the purview of strictly military operations, GPS has become a regular part of modern living and in relatively short time! Who wouldn’t want want to know when and where they are anywhere on the planet? It’s a science fiction dream brought into reality, one now so woven into our lives it seems almost trivial. […]

Overview: This instructable uses a Trossen Robotics Pan and Tilt kit to construct an Arduino controlled ping pong ball cannon. The project also uses several other components from Trossen Robotics including a medium solenoid, a relay and various items from one of their Robotics Grab Bags. A joystick controls the aiming of the cannon and a pushbutton controls the solenoid that […]

Building an Arduino project isn’t just about making all the components talk to one another. It’s about creating an actual object or prototype out of your small creation, and giving it that extra touch that makes it unique. For this next project, we took some very basic components: a one-wire temperature sensor and a 7-segment […]

In this project, we will use the digital pins and screen of the 4Duino to create a 5×7 LED matrix controller with a user graphical interface. An LED matrix is essentially many LEDs packaged in a dot grid format in order to produce pictures or large text. They’re commonly used for signage purposes in the […]
