Smart Home Automation Using Arduino: A Comprehensive Guide for Engineers

Arduino serves as a foundational device for constructing electronic projects. It comprises a pre-programmed microcontroller or integrated development environment for coding and uploading onto the physical board. These devices facilitate the creation of interactive objects, receiving input from diverse sensors and managing motors, lights, and various outputs. Unlike requiring a separate programmer, Arduino allows direct […]

Easy Electronics Organization using Arduino

Home Automation Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Like many other electronic enthusiasts I need to have a constant supply of materials in order for us to keep building, hacking, or just playing around with electronics. However as probably any of us have come to realize we need a lot of space and storage to hold every thing. Enter the world of stack-able

Bird Feeder Monitor using Arduino

Home Automation Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

This is a project to monitor the number of birds that visit my bird feeder, as well as record the amount of time spent feeding. I used an Arduino Yún and a capacitive touch sensor, Adafruit CAP1188, to detect and record the birds feeding. On a routine basis, the accumulated data is sent to a

Make a digital “meow” from analog clock using arduino

Clock – Timer Projects, Home Automation Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Is your analog clock just not doing enough stuff? Want to do digital things with an analog clock? This tutorial will show you how to make a Kit Cat Clock play a “meow” sound clip, at precise time intervals, using the Atmega 328P-PU via the Arduino Uno development board. In my example, the meow will

The Wondrous Weather Cube Using Arduino

Home Automation Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

We created an Internet-enabled companion cube for your computer, which displays different kinds of information by glowing red or green. Depending on its orientation, and which labeled face is oriented upwards, our companion cube displays either stock readings of the NASDAQ or the outside temperature in Princeton. As the temperature or stock index changes, the

Laser Pointer Switch using arduino

Home Automation Projects, Interfacing(USB – RS232 – I2c -ISP) Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

This instructable will detail how to make a switch that uses an arduino to sample light. When the light sample reaches a threshold it will trigger a relay that can be used to turn on/off a small appliance (light, radio, fan, etc…) The parts for this instructable can be ordered as a kit: Jameco Kit

Augmented Water using arduino

Home Automation Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

The Augmented Water device helps you save water by turning red after one Liter. The device, built by @tamberg during a water hackathon, is made from an Arduino, a flow sensor and coloured LED pixels.

$1.50 Arduino TV Annoyer

Home Automation Projects, Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Hey Arduino fans! Here is an ‘ible for making a device that turns TVs on when you want them off, and off then you want them on! If you hide it in something inconspicuous, it would make a great April Fools joke or gag gift. And the best part is that the total parts cost

Arduino R/C Lawnmower

Home Automation Projects, Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

What this is: This instructable will show you how to make your Arduino into an R/C interface that you can use for just about anything requiring remote control. I will also show you how I built an R/C lawnmower using my Arduino, a cheap R/C transmitter and receiver pair, and a couple of electric-wheelchair motors from Ebay.
