Recently somebody asked for tutorial on Infrared Flame Sensor. It took a while due to severe work overload, but finally I succeeded to make it. The Infrared flame sensors use infrared light to detect flame. While experimenting with my one I discovered that in direct daylight they don’t work very well due to the infrared […]

The Bosch BNO055 combines tri-axis accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to provide orientation to users. About the Sensor The BNO055 uses three triple-axis sensors to simultaneously measure tangential acceleration (via an accelerometer), rotational acceleration (via a gyroscope), and the strength of the local magnetic field (via a magnetometer). Data can then be either sent to an external

In this tutorial, we are building an interesting application using Arduino and PIR Sensor. A Burglar Alarm – is basically an intruder alarm or an anti theft alarm. So this project is all about building an anti theft alarm or an intruder alarm using Arduino and PIR sensor. It is possible to enhance this project

In this article, we are going to interface a Soil moisture sensor FC-28 with Arduino. This sensor measures the volumetric content of water inside the soil and gives us the moisture level as output. The sensor is equipped with both analog and digital output, so it can be used in both analog and digital mode.

In this article, we are going to read the colors using the TCS230 color sensor (RGB Sensor) and Arduino Uno. The TCS 230 color sensor senses the color light by using the photodiodes. The sensor converts the readings from the photodiode into a square wave by using the light to frequency converter. The frequency of these

This project is about a moisture-sensing automatic plant watering system using Arduino UNO. The system reads the moisture content of the soil using soil moisture sensor and switches ON the motor when the moisture is below the set limit. When the moisture level rises above the set point, the system switches off the pump. The

People or Visitor counters are pretty famous embedded application that was widely used in places like theaters, malls, Transport stations and so. High end counters uses sophisticated hardware to do the process of counting. Today we are about to see building of simple Visitor counter project using Arduino which uses IR as a tool for

Who doesn’t love playing with RC cars and Robots. Not only playing, engineers and enthusiasts like us love to build and experiment with these stuffs. Also its fair to say that RC’s and Robots have became more than just toys, they already have started to integrate into our life slowly. But to take this

Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to measure distances, but they can also be used to detect objects. By connecting a couple of IR sensors to an Arduino, you can make an intruder alarm. Overview Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to estimate the distance of an object, but you can also use them to detect the
