Wallbots: Autonomous Magnetic Robots that Traverse Vertical Surfaces using arduino

This Instructable will teach you how to create magnetic robots that traverse vertical surfaces. These robots can move on any metallic walls, including elevators, whiteboards, refrigerators or metal doors. The robots are outfitted with several light sensors, allowing them to respond to simple user interactions. My implementation supports 3 robot ‘personalities’, which can be changed […]

An easy way to send your heartbeat to the Cloud

An easy way to send your heartbeat to the Cloud using arduino

This cool (and very low price) sensor is attached on your ear and can detect your heart’s pulse through transmitting infrared light and checking the absorption variation caused by the blood flow on your ear lobe. The site of the products provides also the Arduino code for detecting the beats and calculating an average heart

PIR Motion Sensor Tutorial

PIR Motion Sensor Tutorial using arduino

Pyroelectric (“Passive”) InfraRed sensors: ”’What is a PIR sensor?”’ PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive, low-power, easy to use and don’t wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in appliances and

A DIY photoplethysmographic sensor for measuring heart rate

A DIY photoplethysmographic sensor for measuring heart rate

Meet Easy Pulse: A kit that includes all it needs to make a DIY heart rate sensor. Although it is not built using an Arduino, it is still open and easy to build. From the site: “This project is based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG) which is a non-invasive method of measuring the variation

Very simple ECG + Pulse Oximeter

Very simple ECG + Pulse Oximeter using arduino

Scott W Harden has built an updated version of his ECG circuit for tracking his heartbeat. The main goal of the update is to provide a hack for collecting heartbeat with minimal h/w cost and circuit complexity. As you can see from the project photo above, the heartbeat detector is based on photoplethysmogram. Scott nicely describes the basics

Beatfly

Beatfly : Make an illuminating blimp and control it with your voice, Keyboard, MIDI Controller, Garageband file, iPhone, Flash, and more! [Mac OSX] using arduino

[Mac OSX Only] Because I use Quartz Composer, my program works only on Mac OSX. I am now extending and improving it toward cross-platform. If you have knowledge of computer programming, you can make your own system that connects to the blimp. The communication protocol between the blimp and the computer is simple. Read the
