These days I was reading an interesting post on how to make yogurt “by the gallon,” which explained the need to maintain a constant temperature of about 43ºC (110°F) so the bacteria can grow properly. Commercial yogurt makers are available, but they’re usually too small for producing a full gallon at once. Building your own […]
Description: This article delves into the Software Serial library, a commonly utilized resource in Arduino programming. It explores its significance in programming for Arduino Uno or Arduino Nano and provides insights into when and why to employ this library. Through the aid of a Proteus simulation, I will elucidate its practical applications, alongside showcasing advanced-level […]
The Proteus simulation software is most effective for evaluating microcontroller projects, although it offers limited insight. Proteus libraries for Arduino include models for Arduino Mega1280, Arduino UNO, and Arduino Pro in Proteus. Projects that involve electronics, Arduino library files in Proteus – “Arduino projects.” The Proteus simulation software is ideal for evaluating microcontroller projects, providing […]
This project details a Flowcode and E-blocks based weather station capable of reading local temperature and humidity with 2 remote thermo-hygrometer sensors. The local board also incorporates a real time clock. This article has been contributed by Flowcode user John Crow. Flowcode can be downloaded and trialled for free at the Matrix Technology Solutions website. […]
In this guide I will explain how to use a Windows 8.1 phone, Arduino Uno board, and HC-05 Bluetooth module to build a wireless oscilloscope. The phone application has the critical functions of an oscilloscope, although the bandwidth is a measly 300 Hz. Still, if you want to see squiggly lines on your phone, it […]
Ideation and Design: Microcontroller Morse Code System development initially aimed to create a functional Microcontroller Fidget Keyboard System by linking mechanical switches to a microcontroller. This section explains how the system captures and interprets button presses to convert user input into Morse code. This led to an early pivot in design, driven by practical challenges […]
The Arduino Mega serves as the system’s central controller in a project focused on Waste Management Using Arduino, managing communication with the load cell, RFID, SD card, and GSM/GPS modules via synchronous and asynchronous serial communication. It enables data acquisition, storage, and remote tracking, while LEDs provide user feedback and USB aids in debugging. Powered […]
Homebot Within the integration unit, core systems—power, control, and prototyping of the robot—are being converged as part of the Arduino Homebot Robot Setup. Short, flat jumpers improve breadboard wiring by keeping connections secure, tidy, and less prone to short circuits. Laying components like resistors and LEDs flat boosts durability and creates a more reliable, low-maintenance […]
Arduino XMAS Hitcounter Christmas is coming closer, so here is my contribution to put you in the right mood. It is a blog hitcounter, that rings a bell. Literally. It puts a smile on your face, every time someone hits your blog. It consists of an Arduino board, a bell, a servo and a couple […]
This project shows how to send SMS text messages to a cheap scrolling LED display via an Android app and arduino with USB host shield. The project was originally inspired by a friend wanting to make a “sexting themed” costume, with a scrolling LED display of live texts sent from people at the party. We […]
