The popularity of android devices is attributed to their powerful capabilities which include internet connectivity, open architecture, and several other kinds of built-in sensors. Students and other software developers are increasingly using the android platform since it utilizes Java programming language which can easily be applied in universities and other learning institutions LPCCA. Not only […]

Arduino based Automatic Plant Irrigation System with Message Alert
Whenever we go out of town for few days, we always used to worry about our plants as they need water on regular basis. So here we are making Automatic Plant Irrigation System using Arduino, which automatically provides water to your plants and keep you updated by sending message to your cell phone. In This Plant […]
IOT based Air Pollution Monitoring System using Arduino
In this project we are going to make an IOT Based Air Pollution Monitoring System in which we will monitor the Air Quality over a webserver using internet and will trigger a alarm when the air quality goes down beyond a certain level, means when there are sufficient amount of harmful gases are present in […]
Scrolling Text Display on 8×8 LED Matrix using Arduino
In this tutorial we are going to design an 8×8 LED Matrix Scrolling Display using Arduino Uno, which will show scrolling alphabets. 8×8 LED Matrix contains 64 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which are arranged in the form of a matrix, hence the name is LED matrix. We are going to make this Matrix by soldering […]
IOT Based Dumpster Monitoring using Arduino & ESP8266
In this DIY, we are going to make an IOT based dumpster/garbage Monitoring System which will tell us that whether the trash can is empty or full through the webserver and you can know the status of your ‘Trash Can’ or ‘Dumpsters’ from anywhere in the world over the Internet. It will be very useful and […]
The Big Easy Stepper Motor Driver
Stepper (or step) motors are really cool. They are perfect for automation or any time you need a motor to turn to a specific point, at a specific speed, in a specific direction. And, unlike typical motors, steppers are able to do all of this, and hold their position when they are not moving – […]
Sensing Humidity With The SHT15
The SHT15 is a digital humidity sensor that outputs a fully calibrated humidity reading. And… because what we are measuring is actually relative humidity, and relative humidity being relative to temperature, the SHT15 has a builtin digital thermometer. This makes things much easier to work with than sensors without a thermometer onboard. You can pick […]
MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor, Breakout Board + Arduino
lot has happened since our last article was published and to celebrate the continuance of bildr we’ll be playing with the MQ-3 Alcohol Gas Sensor. Coupled with the SparkFun Gas Sensor Breakout Board, connecting the MQ-3 to your Arduino is a breeze. The MQ-3 is a heater-driven alcohol sensor that outputs an analog signal (usually […]
Arduino + MLX90614 IR Thermometer
Being able to sense temperature is cool… But being able to read the temperature of an object without even touching it is simply awesome. The MLX90614 is a sensor that can do just that. By reading the infrared light coming off an object, this guy can sense between -95 and 720ºf (-70 to 382.2°C) with […]
DIY 3X3X3 LED Cube with Arduino
In this project we are going to design a 3x3x3 LED CUBE and connect it to Arduino UNO to get different patterns. For a beginner we will start with a simple pattern. A typical 3*3*3 LED cube connected to UNO is shown in the image above, the cube consists of 27 Light Emitting Diodes, these 27 […]
