This is a trap to capture the mice without hurting them, so you can release them outside. If the proximity sensor detects the mouse, the Servo motor will close the door. You will receive an instant message and/or an Email, to inform you that you captured a mouse. When you are not at home or […]

The project conducted as part of the Computational Design and Digital Fabrication seminar in the ITECH masters program. https://icd.uni-stuttgart.de The Idea Exam period is coming. And you already feel sleepless and hopeless. You want to study, but you’ve lost your motivation. And it’s crucial that you study hard. But the weather outside is perfect, it’s sunny.
The problem we picked was – Growing plants in limited space by amateurs. Many people would like to grow plants (basic vegetables, herbs for the kitchen, etc) but do not have enough space in their house to do so. They also may not have the expertise to grow plants, so would need an easy DIY

This project shows how to make an interactive picture of a dandelion. It starts as a yellow flower with LED’s for petals then changes into a white dandelion clock, which can be blown on to make the seeds disperse. It is based on a beautiful artwork by Qi Jie, whose picture was inspired by a

Create a pressure sensor using: – Needle-felted wool – Thin muslin – Velostat – Conductive thread This sensor can be used an analog input for Arduino code. Step 1: Prepare the Core Components Component 1: A felted wool ball. This can be made using unwoven wool (I used Leicester wool), a felting needle, and a

CHOOSING A DIRECTION For this assignment, I embarked on my inaugural solo experience with Arduino. After facing some challenges during the in-class tutorial, I felt apprehensive about dealing with the breadboard once more. Consequently, I made an early decision to work on a simpler circuit. While exploring the components of the Arduino kit, the IR
I. Experiment Objective The main goal of this experiment is to gain proficiency in using the Arduino microcontroller to observe switches and sensors and to trigger devices like LEDs or a speaker based on specific sensor output values. II. Required Components List This experiment will necessitate the following components: • Two 1 kΩ resistors •
This project is a continuation and reimagining of my former colleague’s (metaterra) “Whisker Sensory Extension Wearable”. The purpose of this project was to focus on the creation of novel, computationally-enriched “sensory extensions” that allow for augmented-sensing of the natural world. My major effort with this project was devoted to the fabrication and implementation of sensory

I recently had my kitchen updated and knew that lighting would ‘lift’ the look of the cupboards. I went for ‘True Handless’ so I have a gap under the work surface, as well as a kickboard, under cupboard and on the top of the cupboards available and wanted to light them up. After looking around

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
