So this time around, it’s another fun and functional microcontroller based DIY, a g-force measurement system with data logging to SD card. HARDWARE USED: 1) Arduino UNO w/ATmega328P 2) 3-axis accelerometer breakout 3) SD card 4) SD card breakout w/level shifting circuit 5) LED HOW IT WORKS: Basically, the system uses an accelerometer to measure […]

This project is a RC quadrotor helicopter (quadrocopter, quadcopter, quadricopter, etc). It’s a RC helicopter that uses 4 rotors. You need some pre-requisite skills: How to use Arduino, enough to get started Soldering, wiring, basic electronic skills Basic hand tool operation A quadrotor helicopter flies with 4 spinning propellers on a + shaped frame. When
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I tend to get excited about products that enable beginners to be really creative, and today’s product highlight is one I think is worth getting excited about! A few things that I really like about the shield: The shield is an add-on board that was designed to be used with the chipKIT
In case you don’t have an AVR programmer but you do have an arduino, the arduino can be converted into an AVR flash programmer, meaning it can program bare AVR microcontroller chips. Say if you have an AVR chip and you want to program the chip, so that the program that you’ve written and compiled

An infrared (IR) distance sensor is a sensor that can measure distance from a solid or physical object. An infrared distance sensor does this through light waves. It sends out infrared light and waits to receive it back at the receiver end. If it receives back the infrared light, this means that the light waves

In this project, we will build a liquid level gauge circuit with an arduino. This is a circuit in which a liquid level can be monitored through a gauge. We read the liquid level from the gauge (low, medium, or high), just as you see above. With a microcontroller such as the arduino, building this

In this project, we are going to build a soil moisture sensor with an Arduino microcontroller. A soil moisture sensor, also called a hygrometer, measures the amount of moisture, or water, in the soil. Therefore, we can tell whether the soil has enough moisture or not. So it is a good diagnostic tool for caring

In this project, we will go over how to build a night light circuit using an arduino. A night light circuit is a circuit which will turn on when nighttime comes, which is when it gets dark and the place could use some illumination. It is a common household device that is sold by pretty

In this project, we are going to build a color sensor circuit with an Arduino microcontroller. A color sensor is a device that can detect and differentiate between certain primary colors. This sensor can detect and differentiate between the colors white, blue, green, and red. <p “>A color sensor is actually a very useful device.
