This is a radar, designed to detect the distance and direction an object is from the ultrasonic sensor. With the ultrasonic sensor connected to a servo, it has the ability to rotate 180 degress, similar to a radar utilised to detect the position of planes. As the radar wasn’t my original idea, I have also […]
I made a weather station connected to internet. It measures temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall, wind speed, UV index and it calculates few more important meteorological values. It then sends this data to weathercloud.net, which has nice graphics and UX. It also has a weather webcamera. It cost me around 140€. I made this station as my […]
Making reverse loops can help in model train layouts to change the direction of trains, which cannot be done with turntables. In this way, you can create single-track layouts with a reverse loop on each end to run trains without any pause or interruption. So, without further ado, let’s get started! Step 1: Gather All the […]
Zener Diode Tester is controlled by Arduino Nano. Tester measure breakdown Zener voltage for diodes from 1.8V to 48V. Dissipation power of measured diodes could be from 250mW to a few Watts. Measuring is simple, just connect diode and press button START. Arduino Nano gradually connect range of voltages from lower to higher, in four […]
Eyes on the prize, Violet. Eyes on the prize! Get ready for a candy-grabbing face-off with your family and friends with this classic arcade game – the candy claw machine! But this time, it’s going to be a bit different – first, it’s going to be at your home, and second, you’re going to make […]
Spooky teddy is a 2-part Halloween decor. The first part is the teddy bear that has a 3d printed mechanism that can rotate with an Arduino UNO and a solenoid. The second part is a self-rocking chair powered by an Arduino nano and a solenoid attached to the bottom of the chair. The two parts […]
Once I saw a beautiful box of chocolate in a store. And the thought occurred to me to make an awesome gift out of this box – an animated box with chocolate. What we need: Сlear plastic chocolate box 9V battery Battery cable adapter uSD 1GB Arduino Uno TFT Shield for Arduino Step 1: Step […]
If you are not familiar with ESP8266 micro controller, I really feel you have been missing out! These things are incredible: they are cheap, powerful and best of all have built-in WiFi! ESP8266 started their journey out as a WiFi add on board for more traditional Arduino boards but shortly after, the community realized the […]
I was inspired by the cute Frankenbot papercraft, so I thought why not make it truly alive by giving it some blinking lights and sounds effect. Here is the plan: – Connect 2 LEDs for the eyes (different colours of course) and only one eye can be on at a time – Connect 3 LEDs […]
Hello there! Fellow electronics enthusiasts, I am quite sure we all make some or other projects, as a part of our learning experience or academics. We sure would want to display some data present on our micro-controllers, from sensors or simply display some message, so here is a quick tutorial about OLED displays, in which we […]
