Human Body Infrared Smoke Temperature Alarm System with Arduino

Security – Safety Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Web site: http://www.instructables.com/id/Human-Body-Infrared-Smoke-Temperature-Alarm-System/ Project Summary: The Human Body Infrared Smoke Temperature Alarm System works under the DC 5v voltage and uses the DH11 Temperature Module to detect the room temperature. When the module detects the temperature is higher than the maximum, the buzzer alarms and the red LED lights. When the MQ2 Smoke Sensor detects […]

DIY Infrared Sensor Module using Arduino

Have you ever wanted to make a line following robot but the infrared sensors were too expensive for you? Do you want to upgrade the robot in my other instructable? Well this instructable comes in two stages, Stage 1 is the prototyping stage, where you build the circuit on the bread board and debug it

Using an Arduino to Control an Infrared Helicopter

Game – Entertainment Projects, Internet – Ethernet – LAN Projects, Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

In this Instructable we will explain how infrared signals are used by a remote to control a toy or device, then show how a simple circuit can be added to an Arduino to operate the same device through free, Open Source software. This document is part of a series covering the Puzzlebox Orbit, a brain-controlled helicopter that features

Control anything remotely with Infrared signals using Arduino

Projects, Radio Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Who would have thought that just about every Arduino attachment can be controlled in some way with a TV remote? Now its time to find out how. Arduino.skp141 KB Step 1: Setup and Materials The setup for this is quite basic. The real challenge is finding neat products for this and writing the code. Materials.

Homemade Infrared Rangefinder (Similar to Sharp GP2D120) using Arduino

Internet – Ethernet – LAN Projects, Metering – Instrument Projects, Projects, Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Here is my instructable on how to construct a pretty simple (for some!) short range infrared rangefinder/range sensor. Infrared rangefinders are very useful in a number of projects. The majority of these come from obstacle detection (in robots) or generally detecting distances! The one shown here is only a simple rangefinder and will only really

OH HAI! on Windows 10 IoT Core

Other Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Oh, Hai Hai (‘hi’) is an integration point for several stand alone smart home technologies. Hai runs on the Raspberry Pi and can be adapted to optimize electricity consumption (lighting/HVAC) and water usage (irrigation/rain collection) in a number of ways. Hai was originally envisioned for any Pi running Raspbian OS, but is also being ported

Simple Infrared Barrier

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Although infrared communication might look like the technology of the 1990s, it is still present in a multitude of applications around us. Every time you press the button of a remote control, it is most likely it is using the IR (infrared) technology for transmitting data. The TV remote is the most common example. Air

Simple Infrared PWM on Arduino, Part 3 – Hex IR Signals

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

In Part 1 of this series, we demonstrated how to send signals using soft or Simple Infrared PWM on Arduino. In our Part 2 post we looked at sending RAW IR signals – specifically a RAW NEC signal and a longer RAW Mitsubishi Air Conditioner signal using soft PWM. We have since improved the PWM

Controlling relay switches with an infrared remote

Other Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

The infrared (IR) communication technology, which existed long before WiFi and Bluetooth, is still a key component in implementing major components of a typical home automation system. For example, IR technology is still used in cordless headphones, for intrusion detection in home security systems, and in handheld remotes for controlling home entertainment systems (TV, DVD, soundbox, etc),

Converting infrared to RF signals with Arduino

Wireless Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

In this project we will show you how to switch on and off the power sockets box with an IR remote. Not only the power sockets box, but other RF receivers can be switched on and off with the same IR remote as well. We used the RF remote switch library from Randy Simons http://randysimons.nl/
