Greetings everyone! We hope you are in good health. We live in a world where any form of physical contact between two human beings is starting to pose serious health issues. Keeping this in mind, a while ago, we had worked on an automatic water tap using an Infrared sensor to detect the presence of […]

Creepy fairground attraction and Twitter App! The Psychic Hive-Mind Fortune Teller is a fairground arcade-type attraction which can tell your fortune. Even better than that though – it’s also a web-connected Twitter application that can harvest tweets and regurgitate them as fortune readings! The Fortune Teller reads the mind of a twitter discussion. It takes

Arduino Pot Plant Soil Moisture Sensor I have been struggling with over watering of my indoor pot plants, especially succulents. To this end I decided to make a simple Soil Moisture sensor that can tell me when the moisture level of my pot is too high (over watered), too low or just right! Supplies Capacitive

First off, why did we decide to call this thing SODAR? SOnic Detection and Ranging, or SODAR, is a lot like SONAR and RADAR. However, we don’t feel comfortable calling it SONAR because we have no desire to use it for navigation and we aren’t under water. Also, it’s definitely not RADAR as we are

UPDATE (8/29/13): Thank you readers for your enthusiasm and kind remarks regarding this project! It has been a tremendous journey since I started this project back in March, but I am very glad with the resulting product and the excitement with which it has been received by the maker community. Happy building! -Cyrus Do you like

I adopted a cat a couple of weeks ago (Figure 2&3). To celebrate, I wanted to make a cat whisker sensory extension puppet that looks like my cat! This project will show you how to create a computationally enriched puppet that has whiskers. The Puppet (who I call Mr. Bits) has four flex sensors attached

Sensors are one of the crucial things when it comes to building projects/robots. Many a times the sensor might be not available locally or it might take too long to ship. Smart phone have most of the basic sensors like proximity, accelerometer, light, magnetometer, gyroscope, etc. embedded and we can in fact use these sensors

In this Instructable, I’ll show you how I managed to create my own I2C controlled device that I can then connect to any microcontroller and interact with it over I2C. In my case, I’m using it to control an AC dimmer module from a separate Arduino Nano and I then interact with it from another

Este es el primero de 5 instructables que surgieron del Instructables & Sugru build night (and day en nuestro caso) que hicimos en el Laboratorio de Juguete, el 20 de julio del 2013: una Resistencia Flexible o Flex Sensor hecha con Sugru y polvo de grafito: ——————————————- This is the first of 5 instructables from Instructables
If, like me, you have a pellet stove which does not indicate the low level of the tank, I suggest this little module which will beep when the reserve is almost empty. This gap is problematic because when there are no more pellets, the stove switches off and the ventilation still blows for 40 minutes.
