Introduction Hello enthusiasts, welcome back to Techatronic. Have you ever encountered an automatic door that seamlessly opens and closes on its own? In this guide, we’ll demonstrate how you can craft your very own automatic door opener using a sensor and Arduino UNO. Typically, these types of entrances are commonplace in hotels, metros, offices, etc., […]

This Arduino Uno and IR sensor-based system automatically controls the lighting in a bathroom connected to AC mains power. The IR sensors detect when a person enters or exits the room. Upon detection of entry, the light bulb or tube light is immediately switched on. When the sensors no longer detect a presence, the lighting

The intention behind this guide is to furnish valuable insights into the typical sensors employed in the RAD SLDP. It’s worth noting that sensors produced by various manufacturers might have slight variations compared to the ones outlined in this guide, but comprehensive documentation for all these sensors can be easily accessed online. If you require
The DF Robot Gravity sensor now combines gesture controls and touch switches, offering an expanded array of combinations to manage the ON/OFF switch. Narrative This sensor module combines gesture recognition and touch detection capabilities into a single unit, offering an adaptable detection range spanning from 0 to 30cm. When linked to your microcontroller, it is

For our project, we built a planar, 2 degree-of-freedom haptic device for educational use. The design is based on a 5-bar mechanism. We wanted to build a device that would have the versatility to teach various concepts, but would still be relatively affordable (as the goal is implementation in classrooms). For this reason, we designed

Mobile Phone There is a wide selection of mobile phones on the market. For our development, we chose Nokia 6210 Navigator due to its ability to run Java, accompanied by Bluetooth communication, and its small form factor. The phone mainly acts as a remote control for setting up the microcontroller. It provides the ability to

This week I continued developing a device that warns of the potential of a knockdown – the process by which an over-canvassed sailing ship is lain over on her beam-ends during a squall. The potential for sinking at this point is high, especially if there are hatches open on the leeward side, so it is

HW9 – Arduino The Task: In our Arduino project challenge, we were free to create anything of our liking, with the only requirement being that the circuit must either read a sensor or control an active component. During a class session, a practice example was demonstrated, involving a humidity sensor, LED, potentiometer, and LCD screen.

Many times, when parking our cars in the garage, we accidentally scratch them against the walls or cause damage due to a lack of visibility regarding the remaining distance between the car and the wall. To address this issue, we can create a straightforward electronic project using Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor. This project aims
