RC MOOD LYTE is a commercial quality flameless light engine for heavy, everyday use in the home, restaurant, catering and hospitality industry ,a great improvement over the traditional wax candles in terms of safety and reliability features . LED Candles have No wax, No smoke, No heat, No mess. ECO BENEFITS Safety: eliminates fire danger […]
Anirudh Sharma, an IT Engineer from Rajasthan Technical University has developed a system that offers non-obtrusive navigation for the visually impaired . Calling it Le Chal (Hindi for ‘Take me there’), Sharma conceptualized and demonstrated the system at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Lab Design and Innovation Workshop 2011. The Le Chal system comprises

Naturally, the Uno does not natively support keyboard strokes, unlike it’s Leonardo brother. Most of Google will tell you you need to do some firmware workarounds and ATMEGA reprogramming just to get it working and the entire ordeal is a mess. If you’re like me, you’ve found that out just after buying one. Here is

This is a fun project that can be done easily and also cheaply. In this instructable we will explain step by step how to make this beautiful POV clock. Used material: Arduino Uno, RTC modul, ULN 2003, IR diode and IR transistor (used like a sensor, more details in next steps) 4 pushbuttons (for controling

Its been awhile since i last posted something here. Was kinda busy with my university exams & all! Idea for this project was in my mind for very long & i don’t think anyone would’ve done this project with Autohotkey! Anyway, this is a necessity for me, honestly i’m a super lazy person & i

Modified BaleScoop(for picking hay bales out of the field) from manual levers to arduino controlled functions. This eliminates the need for 3 sets of hydraulic hoses to only one set and operator can focus more on where they are going rather then controling the implement. This is set up for a “Field Mode” and a Travel Mode”, and has

INTRODUCTION : The development of high performance motor drives is very important in industrial as well as other purpose applications. Generally all high performance motor drives use quadrature encoders and PID control because of its simplicity and precise control. The quadrature encoder acts as a feedback from the motor, it is connected to the microcontroller
Arduino PID Motor Controller Continue Reading
In this tutorial we make an Arduino-compatible board that holds the microcontroller in a ZIF socket. Updated 18/03/2013 Today we are going to make a different type of Arduino-compatible board, one that has a ZIF (“zero insertion force”) socket. Our reason for making this is simple – now and again you may need to program
