Momentary Switch as Digital Sensor
Posted on: 15 Mar 2015
In many cases switches are just switches. They directly control the flow of electricity to an appliance, flashlight or mains-voltage lamp. An example of this is the switch on the wall in your living room. In many cases nowadays however, switches are digital sensors, meaning that instead of directly controlling a high-powered device, they are […]
Simple and reasonably accurate pedometer system
Posted on: 15 Mar 2015
Our final project for ECE 4760 provides a simple but effective exercise monitoring system of the user’s walk or run. With an increase of the number of health conscious individuals hoping to remain fit, we designed a system that allows the user to keep track of his or her total number steps, current speed, and […]

Posted on: 14 Mar 2015
This is a project I came up with that was inspired by my love for bacon! This is an alarm clock that is designed to wake you up with the smell of bacon. With the help of an arduino the alarm clock will already have the bacon aroma filling the room to wake you up […]
Arduino controlled webcam panner
Posted on: 13 Mar 2015
This is an instructable to show how to mount a webcam on a servo in a meccano frame and controlling it via an Arduino board. For a while now I was looking to do something more than blinking LEDs with my Arduino. This idea came to me while Skyping in our morning-meet with my colleagues […]
Robotic Arm Trifecta (Science Olympiad)
Posted on: 13 Mar 2015
In the fall of 2012, we set out to construct a robotic arm for the Science Olympiad competition that would be capable of performing the required set of tasks efficiently and to perfection. This instructable will attempt to guide you through the thought processes used in the design and construction of this project. We spent […]
Interactive Magic Mirror with Candy Dispenser
Posted on: 13 Mar 2015
For Halloween 2012 I created an interactive Magic Mirror. The Magic Mirror has a sonar (PING)))) sensor that detects when kids are are close. Then the mirror says a few random phrases and automatically drops candy to the bucket. I repurposed my Automatic Candy Dispenser from two years ago. The PING))) sensor, fog and red lights […]
Arduino FIO Tutorial
Posted on: 13 Mar 2015
Overview The Arduino Fio is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P (datasheet) runs at 3.3V and 8 MHz. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 8 analog inputs, an on-board resonator, a reset button, and holes for mounting pin headers. It has connections for a Lithium […]
The Motivational Moody Workout T-Shirt using an Arduino
Posted on: 12 Mar 2015
I call this project “The Motivational Moody Workout T-Shirt” . Basically what I wanted to do was a t-shirt that makes you want to get out in the open and work out. To make that work, I sewed a LilyPad arduino onto a t-shirt and powered it with a solar panel. Then I connected a […]
Self-Balancing Robot Using Arduino
Posted on: 12 Mar 2015
First of all I want to apologize for my English, if you don’t understand something, please, ask. I know that a self-balancing robot is not new, but when I started this project I found a lot of information, but never in the same site, I had to search a lot to join all information in […]
