In this project, we will go over how we can build a temperature sensor circuit and integrate it to an LCD so that we can get a readout of the temperature on the LCD. In previous projects with temperature sensor circuits, we built the circuit and then got a readout on the computer that we

In this project, we will demonstrate how to build temperature sensor circuit using a LM335 sensor. As a temperature sensor, the circuit will read the temperature of the surrounding environment and relay this temperature to us back in degrees Kelvin. The difference between an LM335 and LM34 and LM35 temperature sensors is the LM335 sensor

In this project, we will demonstrate how to build temperature sensor circuit using a TMP36 sensor. As a temperature sensor, the circuit will read the temperature of the surrounding environment and relay the temperature to us back in degrees fahrenheit. The IC we will use to measure the temperature is the TMP36 IC. We will

Arduino Project – Touch Me Not I modified the Arduino project from the Arduino Starter Kit (Touch Sensor Lamp). Now it lights up an LED when your hand is close on the aluminium foil (without even touching it). This can be used as a ‘Touch-less Switch’. I just did it because it seemed pretty cool

The Time Sensing Bracelet is a fabric potentiometer. You select your desired time of day by making contact in the corresponding position on your wrist – where your watch would normally be. There is no point to it but fun. Update: Using some wire wrapped around the central popper to make contact with the resistive

What is a tilt sensor? Tilt sensors allow you to detect orientation or inclination. They are small, inexpensive, low-power and easy-to-use. If used properly, they will not wear out. Their simplicity makes them popular for toys, gadgets and appliances. Sometimes they are referred to as “mercury switches”, “tilt switches” or “rolling ball sensors” for obvious

LPG sensor using Arduino with alarm and cutoff. A simple LPG sensor using Arduino is shown in this article. This circuit indicates the amount of LPG in the air. The circuit sounds an alarm and trips a relay when the concentration is above a predetermined level. MQ2 is the gas sensor used in this project.

Analog sensors produce an analog (continuous) voltage that typically varies from 0 to 5 volts. They have three wires – ground, power, and signal (typically red, black, and white, respectively). Examples shown below include: Potentiometers Proximity Accelerometers Ribbon Bend Pressure Light Temperature Sound Multi-touch Touch Other Potentiometers Potentiometers typically measure rotation or linear travel, and

In this project, we will go over how to build a hydrogen gas sensor circuit with an arduino. The hydrogen gas sensor we will use is the MQ-8 sensor. This is a sensor that is sensitive to effects of hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas (H2), at room temperature and under standard pressure conditions, is tasteless, odorless,
