Gas Detector

Gas Detector

Let’s create a simple Gas Detector connectable to WiFi. The gadget would offer: web UI including gauges for LPG, CO, Smoke simple data handler returning values in JSON capable of regularly sending data to ThingSpeak server and obviously triggering laud alarm if threshold of dangerous concentrations exceeded. We would need following components: NodeMCU with ESP8266

Arduino while loop

How to use a while loop to calibrate the value of an analog sensor using Arduino

Sometimes you want everything in the program to stop while a given condition is true. You can do this using a while loop. This example shows how to use a while loop to calibrate the value of an analog sensor. In the main loop, the sketch below reads the value of a photoresistor on analog pin 0 and

Sense Magnetic Fields Like a Bird Sensory Extension Puppet

Sense Magnetic Fields Like a Bird – Sensory Extension Puppet

This project will show you how to create a computationally enriched puppet that can detect magnetic fields. The puppet (who I call Compy) has two very sensitive GMR analog magnetic sensors that are located in her beak, these sensors are read by an Arduino Nano that actuates a 3×3 haptic display (Figure 3) based on
