Also, check out Power Laces: Version 2.0 Why wait until 2015? Inspired by ‘Back to The Future II’, this project is less ‘Practical’ than ‘Proof of Concept’, but hopefully it’ll tide you over until Nike comes out with something more polished. This was also the first time I worked with an Arduino microcontroller, and I

To establish a communication or interaction with Deaf and Mute people is of utter importance nowadays. These people interact through hand gestures or signs. Gestures are basically the physical action form performed by a person to convey some meaningful information. Gestures are a powerful means of communication among humans. In fact gesturing is so deeply

Today I’ll write about the ADXL337 accelerometer. The ADXL337 measures the acceleration of the x, y and z axis. This means it measures the force acting on any of the axes at a specific moment in time. Because it’s an analog device the measurement intervals are as short as the Arduino can read the current voltage on any

For an upcoming project I needed a pneumatic ram with a closed loop control system so I could position it accurately. Didn’t have the budget for an off the shelf solution, so I bodged one together with an ardunio, a couple air solenoid valves, and a pair of potentiometers. How it works is one potentiometer

His creation is a 26-key drum pad setup that combines MIDI and USB connectivity, featuring a fixed velocity byte for 10 drum switches alongside a 16-key velocity-sensitive circuit. This system utilizes piezo sensors to achieve a complete velocity range from 0 to 127. The drums are already chosen to be sent to the MIDI outputs

Analog to digital conversion module of ARDUINO UNO has 6 input ports. The number of the port varies with your ARDUINO model but the coding remains the same. The analog reading in the analog inputs are converted into corresponding 10bit(0-1023). ARDUINO developers have made such an option that you can print anything and see it on the Serial monitor.

This project uses relays to control a Firgelli Automations linear actuator without feedback. The relays are controlled by the MIDI Volume (Control Change number CC7) command which is read by the microcontroller and converted into one of the only 3 states of operation: 1) The Linear Actuator is stopped, 2) The Linear Actuator is extending,

Arduino Uno is an opensource physical computing platform based on ATmega328 microcontroller and provides a development environment for writing software for the board. It can be used for a variety of projects. EM-18 RFID reader is one of the commonly used RFID reader to read 125KHz tags. It features low cost, low power consumption, small form
