A discourse of “embedded systems” Whether you are cognizant of it or choose to overlook this undeniable fact, you are either in possession of or have utilized an electronic device. This could range from a phone, an ATM machine, a radio, a laptop computer, a gaming console, a smart TV, a smart card reader at the

Introduction I have a laptop on a shelf in my office that monitors several cameras that are around the outside of my house. They alert me to deliveries and visitors. While I can use a web browser to see their images it is easier to just glance at the screen on the laptop from time-to-time to

This project is loosely inspired by the laser harp of Jean-Michel Jarre. Instead of lasers however, it uses eight SHARP infra-red distance sensors, the variants with the longest range of 35 to 40cm. These sensors are laid out in a row to provide rows of 8 notes at 3 different height levels giving a total

This sketch is an Arduino program which acts as an simplified hardware I/O server using a simple readable message protocol. The intent is to provide an easily modified and extended real-time embedded hardware controller which can interface easily with a non-real-time client running on a laptop or Raspberry Pi. The following documentation was extracted from

Keeping cool saves lives In the developing world, vaccines are the front line of defense against dangerous illnesses such as Ebola, Influenza, Cholera, Tuberculosis and Dengue to name a few. Transporting vaccines and other life-saving materials such as insulin and blood require careful temperature control. First-world logistics tend to break down when supplies are transported
Temperature Controlled Vaccine & Insulin Cooler Continue Reading
Summer, the lovely season when things happen. But sometimes we tend to forget the time. So to remind us the time left , I designed this Casey Neistat’s ‘Do More’ DIY arduino driven timer which can be programmed to display the time left from any event, the start of a day or the start of
The ‘Do More’ Timer, Inspired by Casey Neistat Continue Reading
Hello world, in this Instructable I want to show you, how to program your Arduino Uno with your Android device over Bluetooth. It is very simple and so cheap. Also it allows us to program our Arduino where ever we want over wireless bluetooth… So lets get started! 🙂 Step 1: Materials and Tools Hardware

A couple of weeks ago I presented my culmination project, framed laser harp, at New York City College of Technology. Work on it was so interesting for me, that I decided to share it here. I am an Arduino amateur and don’t have any professional experience in electrical engineering or programming. Neither am I a

As Engineers/Developers we always rely upon the data collected to design or improve a system. Recording data and analyzing them is a common practice in most of the industries, here we are building Arduino Data Logger Project where we will learn how we can log data at a specific interval of time. We will use
