Have you ever wanted to build a project that had could detect the presence of a person in a room? If so, then you can do this very easily using the PIR (Passive Infra Red) Motion sensor. This Arduino motion sensor can detect the presence of a person in a room. Therefore, you can build projects such […]

This Instructable is all about one of life’s simple actions, flipping a light switch on and off. At oomlout we do it many times a day, so many in fact it came to a point where we asked ourselves “Can’t we get an Arduino to do this?”. Of course we can, what follows is how

The heart rate, also referred to as pulse rate, has been recognized as a vital sign since the beginning of medicine, and it is directly related to a person’s cadiovascular health. Today, we are going to make a PC-based heart rate monitor system using an Arduino board and Easy Pulse V1.1 sensor. Easy Pulse is
PC-based heart rate monitor using Arduino and Easy Pulse sensor Continue Reading
In case you are unfamiliar with the most amazing new way to physically “check in” to foursquare here is a video that will explain it all: Mark Your Territory is a fully open-source system but because it interacts with the physical world as well as the digital one, some construction is necessary beyond just simply
Pee to Check-In to Foursquare – Mark Your Territory using Arduino Continue Reading
MCUs are used as the main control element in just about every application imaginable. Their power and flexibility make them the go-to component at the heart of most designs. Since it is important to make sure that your design cannot be easily copied, reverse engineered or tampered with, modern MCUs now provide a few different

I’m currently helping a couple of engineering students finish a senior project that didn’t get finished last year. Long story… Anyway, it’s a bicycle brake tester being built for Paul Components. The mechanical design is great, but they had trouble with the electronics. Part of those electronics involved writing numbers to a pair of Sparkfun
Driving multiple Sparkfun 7-segment displays with an Arduino Continue Reading
Meet Easy Pulse: A kit that includes all it needs to make a DIY heart rate sensor. Although it is not built using an Arduino, it is still open and easy to build. From the site: “This project is based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG) which is a non-invasive method of measuring the variation
A DIY photoplethysmographic sensor for measuring heart rate Continue Reading
Arduino enthusiasts and makers searching for a new project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new DIY Arduino Nano multimeter created by YouTuber Electronoobs. Using a small OLED screen in combination with the Arduino Nano together with a couple of buttons and 16-bit ADC for precise measurements the multimeter has been
DIY Arduino Nano multimeter with LiPo battery, charger and more Continue Reading
We present the candidature of Mr. Michele Mancini for the TiDiGino Contest. He proposes us a recent application with Arduino: Real-Time Energy Monitor This is a simple power meter to analize the current consuming in a house using the led indicator of a house energy meter. Reading the red led of a home energy counters
Real-Time Energy Monitor with Arduino and LabVIEW using arduino Continue Reading
Today we are going to examine the Maxim MAX7219 LED display driver IC. The reason for doing so is to show you how something that used to be quite complex can be made very simple – and that is what all this technology is for, isn’t it? If you have ever tried to control lots
