This example shows you how to monitor the state of a switch by establishing serial communication between your Arduino and your computer over USB. Hardware Required Arduino Board A momentary switch, button, or toggle switch 10k ohm resistor breadboard hook-up wire Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect three wires to […]

Arduino Esplora Joystick Mouse
This sketch shows you how to read information from the Esplora’s joystick and use it to control the movement of the cursor on your computer. You’re making your Esplora into a mouse! This sketch will take over the mouse movement of your computer. If you lose control of your cursor do the following : unplug […]
Build a Robot That Creates Art
In this project I’m showing you how I made my own art robot. The whole concept is to illustrate how we as humans can work together and collaborate with machines and robots to create something new. Both the art style and ethos of the project was inspired by the great pop art artist Andy Warhol. […]
Arduino IoT Cloud ESP8266 NodeMCU Alexa Home Automation System | IoT 2021
In this IoT project, I have shown how to make an IoT-based Smart Home with Arduino IoT Cloud & Alexa using NodeMCU ESP8266 to control 4 home appliances with voice commands. If the internet is not available, then you can control the home appliances manually with switches. During the article, I have shown all the steps to make this smart home system. […]
Flux Capacitor PCB Badge
Hey Everyone what’s up! So this is my “FLUX Capacitor” PCB Badge which is a replica of the actual Flux Capacitor which was in back to the future movie. The Flux Capacitor was the core component of Dr. Emmett Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean time machine which makes time travel possible. Also, the Flux Capacitor in the […]
Differential Thermal Analysis Using Arduino and PhyPhox
When a solid substance is heated the increase in energy manifests itself in the form of an increase in temperature. If the heating rate is constant the temperature increase is also constant as long as there is no change in the structure of the substance. At the time when some kind of transition is initiated […]
Plant Bartender
This project was completed by Alexandra Pittiglio & Christelle Feghali for our Computational Design and Digital Fabrication ‘Useless Machine’ Project, Semester 2, ITECH M.Sc Programme ——– We present Plant Bartender, a 2-axis robot that senses and waters in the most inefficient way. This device utilizes soil moisture sensors to identify the thirst levels of multiple […]
ATtiny85 – Spectrum Analyzer on RGB Led Matrix 16×20
Continuing with ATtiny85, today I’d like to share how to build a music spectrum analyzer on 16×20 RGB led matrix. The music signal FFT transformation and LED Bit Angle Modulation are all carried out by one DigiSpark ATtiny85. Please watch my video below: Step 1: Things We Need Main components are as follows: 1 x DigiSpark ATtiny85. […]
Metroid Morph Ball
If you are like me, there are many nostalgic things that bring me back to my youth. Tom Sutton, username yakis on thingiverse, created this 3d model of Metroid’s Samus in morph ball form. It has room inside for LEDs to light it up. I have enhanced mine with a vibration sensor, neo pixel lights […]
The Flight Millennium Controller
I realized a PCB remote control in order to control remote controlled objects and more particularly an airplane. This one works in wifi 2.4Ghz, has an Oled screen, joysticks, potentiometers, buttons/switches and a pipe to select the device to control. I made a form of controller resembling the famous “Star Wars” spaceship, hence my dedication […]
