This Instructable is to build a very smart, talking campsite security system that is disguised in an owl decoy. Now, this isn’t your typical Arduino ultrasonic distance sensing project. Rather, you will learn how to reverse engineer the very inexpensive, but far superior automotive bumper backup sensors for very wide beams of detection. You’ll also learn how […]
In a couple of weeks, some students will visit my lab (Craft Tech Lab) to learn more about wearable technologies. I wanted to build a quick and simple application of a sensor and vibration motors for them to play around with and rough up. While this project could be made into a wearable mask, due […]
With this small, palm-sized device, it is possible to remote control your PC or your Smartphone. Or to control your PC and your Smartphone at the same time. And it is freely programmable. You can write programs like: Login to your PC, open and login to instructables.com, play/pause a movie or adjust the volume on […]
Friction can often seem like a ‘boring’ force. Something we are all familiar with from a young age, but friction does a lot more than just make objects slow down – although that is a big part of this project. Friction allows the world to work as it is today. Friction between your shoes and […]
Having made a lot of wearables as an engineer, advisor, and through replication, there’s one irritation that I find consistent with a lot of systems (mine included) – components (typically sensors & actuators) can’t be maneuvered to the wearer’s preferences. To begin to think about how to solve this issue, I’ve made this prototype system […]
Hi, First off all Please subscribe to my youtube channel. This is the simplest Arduino robot. The name of this Arduino robot is Otto Robot. The beginners can build it with simple steps. All codes and library is given on my github page. Let’s begin this cut little arduino project. Step 1: Requirements Robot Body, you can […]
Have you ever wondered why smartphones are called smart-phones? Because they are smart, right? They do some works automatically, smartly. That’s the short answer. I was thinking something, even if computers are a lot more powerful than phones, why aren’t they smart! For instance, mobile phones have automatic brightness control system, which is handy and […]
ESP-01 ESP8266 is a popular and widely used module because of its low-cost, reliability and easily availability in the market. It can be used as a stand-alone device or connected with a microcontroller. The ESP-01 is the smallest ESP8266 module and it has limited I/Os. It has totally 8 pins, four of them are needed […]
This example shows how to use SPI communications to read data from a SCP1000 Barometric Pressure sensor, and how to then post that data to the web by using your Arduino/Ethernet Shield combo as a simple web server. Using the Ethernet library, your device will be able to answer HTTP requests by responding with just […]
This projects is a mix of two of my main passions, Arduino and Wind. Here is a simple project that I used this OLD PC fan as a small wind generator to sense the wind speed. Here we are using modified PC fan as a wind speed sensor using Arduino and showing the results on a smartphone running the […]
