Rev 2.5 – tidied up the 3D printed parts and updated the plug connector to a common PCB unit. Rev 2 – ultrasonic “button” replaces manual push-button. Pushing a button is so old fashion, particularly when I’m already using an Ultrasonic sensor. Why not use an ultrasonic sensor to activate the can level detector! Rev […]

One of the challenges involved in recycling plastic is determining the specific type of plastic a given item is actually made of. To keep up with demand, large scale recycling centers rely on various automated systems to separate different types of plastic from a stream of incoming material. But in less technologically advanced parts of the world,

Let’s create a simple Gas Detector connectable to WiFi. The gadget would offer: web UI including gauges for LPG, CO, Smoke simple data handler returning values in JSON capable of regularly sending data to ThingSpeak server and obviously triggering laud alarm if threshold of dangerous concentrations exceeded. We would need following components: NodeMCU with ESP8266
Silicon detectors are widely used in particle and nuclear physics for measuring ionizing radiation. This Do-It-Yourself project allows making a low-cost particle detector from scratch using silicon photodiodes. It can distinguish different particle types (alpha particles and electrons) and measures their energy between 33 keV and 8 MeV. The detector must be shielded from light and

This Color Detector utilizes an Arduino Uno R3 and TCS3200 color sensor module. Color identification and detection can be beneficial for food-processing units, color printer applications, paint-mixing applications, and other industrial applications such as robotics. This project is designed to identify basic colors (red, green, and blue) that are present in LEDs in a single

Project Abstract I’ve been exploring the idea of creating a robot using Arduino technology for a while now. This project marks the initial phase of this ongoing hobby endeavor. The aim is to construct an object detection system that can be integrated into a semi-autonomous robot in the future. The system employs an ultrasonic range

Don’t let a clogged drain slow you down!Coming back from our vacation, me and my wife were surprised by the water covering the floor of our apartment, and we found out it’s not even clean water, it’s drain everywhere. After clearing the drain and cleaning the floor, I had this question: why don’t we have

The STM1831 is a voltage detector with very low current consumption. It monitors a voltage on a separate input pin (VSEN), which is fully functional even if the monitored voltage goes down to 0 V. In addition, the delay of the output can be adjusted by an external capacitor. Key Features Voltage monitored on separate
Works down to zero voltage detector, says ST Continue Reading
A while back I saw an EMF (Electromagnetic Field) Detector at makezine.com that used a led bargraph. I decided to modify it to use a 7-Segment LED Display! Here’s my project. Sorry I don’t have any pictures of it in use. Hopefully I can post some soon. Credit goes to Aaron ALAI for the original

Hi guys, welcome to today’s tutorial. In this tutorial we will look at how to use the TCS230 color sensor with Arduino. To demonstrate the ability of the color sensor, we will build a color detector system capable of detecting the color in front of the sensor and displaying that color on a TFT Display.
