In this project we will measure the distance of the nearby object using TS601-01 Ultrasonic sensor and 4Duino. An ultrasonic sensor has a transmitter (sends ultrasonic signals) and a receiver (receives the ultrasonic signal after it bounced off nearby object). The sensor estimates the distance of the object by transmitting a signal and determining how […]
The Wireless Pulse-Rate monitor is a conceptual project made for hospitals and clinics, its main function is to minimise the time that nurses or doctors need to visit each patient in a hospital. Usually, Doctors and nurses visit each patient to check vital signs, by using this project, they can monitor the patient’s vital signs
In this project we are going to build a piece of entertainment using Arduino. We all have that habit of tapping Table or Pen for creating any random music. Of course it might not be considered as a good mannerism, but we all enjoy doing it at least once. Hence I thought of taking it

Recently Gesture controlled Laptops or computers are getting very famous. This technique is called Leap motion which enables us to control certain functions on our computer/Laptop by simply waving our hand in front of it. It is very cool and fun to do it, but these laptops are really priced very high. So in this

Have you ever found yourself running out of pins to read an array of analog sensors? Don’t worry, you’re not alone, it happens to the best of us, and there is something you can do about it. An analog / digital multiplexer like the CD74HC4067 (mux for short) can help multiply the amount of pins
For my first instructable, I’d like to present The Parking Spotter. This is not a new concept, I know. However, this build was done specifically to suit my needs/wants/materials already in my possession. Typically, a project begins with an idea, parts are then gathered, and the building commences. In my case I looked around at
So I mentioned in an earlier Instructable that I am a teaching assistant (TA) for an introductory engineering course for biomedical engineering majors at Vanderbilt University. My main task as a TA is to re-write a few laboratory exercises that the students will be performed during the class. One of the laboratory exercises was to
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
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
A DIY photoplethysmographic sensor for measuring heart rate Read More »
Yes, this is more or less your average touchpad that one can find from inside a laptop. This model, like majority of touchpads out there operates with PS/2 standard. This means that it can be directly plugged in to a PS/2 connector and with proper drivers, function as a mouse. As it happens the PS/2
