The purpose of the Home Energy Monitor Final Project is to give people a better idea how much electrical power they consume in a residential system. The method used for this application will utilize a clip on noninvasive current sensor on each 120V line coming in to the residential breaker panel box. The power data

This project involved creating a red, blue, green (RGB) light emitting diode (LED) matrix that displayed the colors of the rainbow. The colors of the rainbow were chosen to show the full color spectrum that the LEDs are capable of, while still giving distinct variation within the LED matrix. In this project, each diagonal of
A home automation system is an automating the bulk of electronic and electrical tasks within a home. It uses a combination of hardware and software to enable control and management over appliances and devices within a home. Home automation not only refers to reduce human efforts but also energy efficiency and time saving. Here we are performing home automation

Controlling Arduino with Raspberry Pi using pyFirmata Although Raspberry Pi and Arduino are two different hardware in terms of their applications and structure, but they both are considered as two competing open source hardware platforms. They both have very strong community and support. Today we will slightly change things, and show you how we can take advantage of

Interfacing LabVIEW With Arduino In previous article of Getting Started with LabVIEW, we have seen about LabVIEW and how it can be graphically programmed and executed in computer (software level). Now in this article we learn about How to Interface LabVIEW with Arduino Board. Requirements To interface LabVIEW with Arduino, you require the following software’s and hardware’s,
