Story Description Display tweets with a certain hashtag on a led-matrix using an Arduino/Genuino Yùn or Yùn-Shield. We will use a Python script to log into twitter and check for updates. Configuring the Yun101/YunShield In order to connect your board to internet you first have to configure some parameters. Open your Arduino IDE and go […]

Description The ExoMind Glove is a wearable device equipped with 7 accelerometers that are used to quantify forearm, wrist, and finger angles. Additionally, an EMG with conductive fabric electrodes is secured into the sleeve of the device to monitor muscle activity. The glove houses an Arduino 101 which runs an interactive program to prompt the […]

Story Wiscore: Integrating Arduino with Alexa As part of the series of tutorials for the Wiscore Alexa AVS EVK, we will see how to integrate Arduino boards (Uno, Leonardo, Due etc) directly with Alexa Voice Service. The Wiscore board provides the means to communicate with other devices via the UARTs. We will in depth on […]

Story Instead of using an app, what if you could send a signal to eye-contact someone you are interested in talking to, in a social setting, even from afar? I’m not proposing a different way to start a date. I’m exploring a new usage of Bluetooth in the field of human interactions. When I found […]

Motivation What to do you do when you have some Bare Conductive paint and some Philips Hue lightbulbs laying around? You paint a dimmer switch on your wall using conductive paint! Getting Started Some things you’ll need to get started: Arduino Due (or Zero) AnduinoWiFi shield (or another WiFi101 enabled Arduino) Bare Conductive Touch Board […]

Story The Nokia 5110 is a basic graphic LCD screen for lots of applications. It was originally intended to be used as a cell phone screen. This one is mounted on an easy to solder PCB. It uses the PCD8544 controller, which is the same used in the Nokia 3310 LCD. The PCD8544 is a […]

Hi everyone! This is my next project, Fidget Spinner RPM Counter or Arduino Tachometer with Hall-Effect Sensor. 1: Requirements Parts Required: Fidget Spinner neodyimium magnet Arduino Uno LED + resistor 220 Ohm Hall-Effect Sensor – a3144 resistor 10 k Wires Breadboard LCD 1602 2: Hall-Effect Sensor Using Hall-Effect Sensor we can measure the speed of […]

This device improves plant irrigation in urban environments. Powered by an Arduino 101, it uses on-board tools along with a few external sensors to calculate optimum conditions for watering plants in its own environment, and then waters the plant itself at the calculated time. It is based on the following concepts: Gravity and Pressure This […]

Now that the cheesy title has pulled you (Fitflix was taken and I didn’t want to be sued) I’ll tell you about the project, it uses a stationary exercise bike connected to an Arduino Nano to control the streaming of Netflix on a PC, I started this project hoping I could get it working on […]

So back when I first started working with micro controllers, Arduinos mainly the most annoying this ever was when i would follow someones tutorial for a project and they would use the Arduino uno, I would be using the Arduino micro or something, i would spend like an hour wiring it up following the instructions […]
