Arduino Light Meter Circuit
Posted on: 02 Mar 2016
In this project, we will go over how to connect an analog volt panel meter to an Arduino so that it can measure and give us a readout of light striking the circuit. In this way, the circuit will function as a light meter. When there is a lot of light shining on the circuit, […]
Planterbot – The Plant Monitoring Robot
Posted on: 01 Mar 2016
Hello everyone ! Please vote for me in the tech contest! In this instructable I am collaborating with Akin Yildiz an instructables author that creates instructables that help plants grow you should really go check out his account: http://www.instructables.com/member/Akin+Yildiz/ The planterbot is a plant monitoring robot. It uses capacitance for sensing moisture from the plant […]
How to Build a Soil Moisture Sensor Circuit with an Arduino
Posted on: 01 Mar 2016
In this project, we are going to build a soil moisture sensor with an Arduino microcontroller. A soil moisture sensor, also called a hygrometer, measures the amount of moisture, or water, in the soil. Therefore, we can tell whether the soil has enough moisture or not. So it is a good diagnostic tool for caring […]
Simpler superconducting promised by nanowire device
Posted on: 29 Feb 2016
MIT researchers have developed a circuit design that could make simple superconducting devices with zero electrical resistance much cheaper to manufacture, and which would be 50 to 100 times as energy efficient as today’s chips. Even though the circuits’ speed probably would not top that of today’s chips, they could solve the problem of reading […]
How to Build a Night Light Circuit Using an Arduino
Posted on: 29 Feb 2016
In this project, we will go over how to build a night light circuit using an arduino. A night light circuit is a circuit which will turn on when nighttime comes, which is when it gets dark and the place could use some illumination. It is a common household device that is sold by pretty […]
ChronodeVFD: A Cyberpunk Wristwatch
Posted on: 28 Feb 2016
The ChronodeVFD is a personal project I’ve been working on for a couple of months. It’s a wristwatch built around the IVL2-7/5 VFD display tube. I originally purchased a few of these tubes to build a standard desk clock, but after playing around with them, I realized I could probably build a wristwatch too. The […]
How to Build a Heat Detector Circuit Using an Arduino
Posted on: 28 Feb 2016
In this project, we will go over how to build a heat detector circuit using an Arduino. A heat detector circuit is a circuit, of course, which can detect the presence or absence of heat. This could be useful for a wide range of circuits including any device that needs monitoring and protection from excess […]
Tech Lab – Rigol MSO2000A Series Oscilloscopes
Posted on: 27 Feb 2016
Today, we’ll be discussing Rigol’s MSO2302A Mixed Signal Oscilloscope from the MSO2000A series. Starting at $1,239, this oscilloscope features 300 MHz bandwidth, with 2 giga-samples per second, a memory depth of 14 megapoints (Mpts), with an option up to 56 megapoints. The large 8 inch high resolution screen typical to Rigol scopes allows for easy […]
How to Build a Color Sensor Circuit
Posted on: 27 Feb 2016
In this project, we are going to build a color sensor circuit with an Arduino microcontroller. A color sensor is a device that can detect and differentiate between certain primary colors. This sensor can detect and differentiate between the colors white, blue, green, and red. <p “>A color sensor is actually a very useful device. […]
Visual / Aural Guitar Tuner “The Tune Trainer” using arduino
Posted on: 26 Feb 2016
Build a strobe tuner with an integrated tone generator to teach tuning by ear. -=Background=- I have always dabbled in instruments. Over the course of my life, I’ve attempted (with varying success) Piano, Guitar, Banjo, Penny Whistle, Ocarina, Panpipes, Great Highland Bagpipes, Smallpipes, and Didgeridoo (don’t ask, It was late, and I was a bit […]
