Make PPE milk bottles into good looking LED lights, and use an Arduino to control them. This recycles a number of things, mainly the milk bottles, and uses a very low amount of power: the LEDs apparently dissipate less than 3 watts but are bright enough to see by. Among other things, I wanted to […]

Robots are playing an important role in automation across all the sectors like construction, military, medical, manufacturing, etc. After making some basic robots like line follower robot, computer controlled robot, etc, we have developed this accelerometer based gesture controlled robot by using arduino uno. In this project we have used hand motion to drive the robot. For

This Arduino based project was designed to solve a recurring problem for my hearing impaired wife. Our laundry room is located remotely from our living area. If our laundry has finished washing and is not removed in time, it can sour or even get moldy. If our laundry has finished drying and is not removed
A laundry alarm for the hearing impaired and everyone else using Arduino Continue Reading
Have you wanted to make a sweet Cylon/Knight Rider (Larson) Scanner effect? But you don’t want to use up all of your Arduino IO pins? Well, you can make a nice 8 LED Scanner with a shift register IC. In this tutorial we’ll be using the 74HC595 8 Bit Shift Register, and this is what

Thanks to Will Greiman’s Fat16 library for the Arduino, I finally got a useful version of this datalogger working! Here’s the schematic: And here’s the code. The code is highly configurable: it can save raw A/D values or converted values, it allows software-defined gain, it can collect for a set time or until user input,

Introduction The Zuno Line Follower is an Arduino-based robot project designed to follow a line using a Zumo-style robot model. This microcontroller project uses an Arduino Uno with a Zumo line sensor and motor drive system inside a Proteus simulation. The robot reads the position of the line, calculates how far it has drifted from

Introduction This project demonstrates the simple use of an ADS1110 16-bit ADC with an Arduino Uno in a Proteus simulation. It reads an adjustable voltage input and displays both the raw ADC value and the millivolt output on a UART terminal. This is a useful microcontroller project for learning how external ADC modules work in

When it comes to debugging a microcontroller circuit, there aren’t a lot of simple options. Since a microcontroller circuit might have multiple things going on at the same time, measuring voltages with a DMM isn’t an option. Using an computerized In-Circuit-Debugger solution is expensive and elaborate, and time-consuming to set up. People often resort to

The assignment for this week is to automate the machine assembled two weeks ago. For this Roxanna milled the Arduino’s shield for controlling the steppers, but Alejandro found that we haven’t all the components for stuffing, specially the A3982 – stepper motor driver, so as was impossible to get it locally, I decided to design

These days I was reading an interesting post on how to make yogurt “by the gallon,” which explained the need to maintain a constant temperature of about 43ºC (110°F) so the bacteria can grow properly. Commercial yogurt makers are available, but they’re usually too small for producing a full gallon at once. Building your own
