Arduino & Processing – Getting values from SRF05 ultrasound sensor & serial port

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

I’ve started to delve into Processing and passing values between Processing and Arduino. If you’re wondering what Processing is, basically its an open source programming language for vizualising data that can interface with Arduino either by reading values/ pins or by setting them. Just remember that they are 2 very different things and require 2 […]

Arduino – (Very) Basic motion tracking with 2 PIR sensors

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Took me a little while to get started but I’ve managed to wire 2 PIR infrared sensors with an Arduino to sense motion either on the left or on the right side. The result will trigger an LED to represent each PIR sensor then I also added in a servo to be controlled – so

Arduino – motion triggered camera

So having worked out that I can make a remote for my Nikon D80 to do some timelapse photography. I started thinking of things I can do to trigger the remote, below video shows it working but you’ll need sound to hear the shutter going. First of all check out my tutorial for making the

Water Tank Depth Sensor using Arduino

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Water is a precious resource in many parts of the world, and many people rely on water tanks to supplement their water supply by storing collected rainwater or water pumped from a well or bore. But how do you measure how full a tank is? Tanks are constructed of opaque material to prevent algae growth

Motion Sensing Eye using arduino

LED Projects, Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

I have always wanted to make something with my LED dot matrix display, and so when I found a old alarm motion sensor I knew just what to make, a Motion Sensing Eye! This instructable will hopefully finish with you having a working dmd, that will display an eye that opens if something in a

Weather Station Receiver using Arduino

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

The incredible popularity of home weather stations shows that it’s not just farmers who are interested in the weather. Many people want to be able to track and record weather events within their local environment rather than relying on a state or national weather service that may not have adequate local details. Home weather stations

Security / Automation Sensors using Arduino

Security – Safety Projects, Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Security system sensors such as motion detectors, reed switches, pressure mats, glass-break detectors, infra-red beams, and conductive film can be very handy for all sorts of things including home automation systems, interactive art installations – and sometimes even security systems! Almost all security system sensors provide a simple switched output that changes state based on

Visual Navigator Making it MOBILE using Arduino

Game – Entertainment Project Ideas, Projects, Robotics – Automation Projects, Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Obstacle avoiding vehicle, continue in “3D Laser Range Finder” series ( project 1, project 2). The basic idea is the same, measuring distance using red laser pointers, CCD analog camera and Arduino UNO. Modification was made in geometry. Two lasers were set for “far field” obstacle detection, few meters in front of vehicle on left

Fish Sensing

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Overview Once again, my project was motivated by my curiosity to explore interesting and unfamiliar territory. I decided to see if I could make my own capacitive sensor and then use it in a project of some sort. After numerous fiascoes with Arduino and computers, I was able to get the capacitive sensor to work and then implemented it

Tiich System – Prototype Final Report

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Introduction: Our main goal with the Tiich system is to design a teaching aid/tool which would replace the conventional whiteboard in a classroom environment. We want our system to be used as an electronic based white board, having all the written information easily be saved and submitted to all the students in the classroom. We
