While almost everyone has a heater of some sort in their home, it’s fairly unlikely that the heat provided by a central heating system such as a furnace is distributed in an efficient way. There’s little reason to heat bedrooms during the day, or a kitchen during the night, but heating systems tend to heat […]
Introduction Radar technology is commonly used for applications like weather monitoring, air traffic control, and object detection. However, traditional radar systems can be complex and expensive to implement. This project explores an accessible alternative approach using an Arduino microcontroller and ultrasonic sensors for basic object detection capabilities. Components and Materials Arduino Uno board HC-SR04 ultrasonic
While simulating an Arduino isn’t a new idea, a recent project by [LRusso] provides an open source JavaScript simulator that runs in your browser. You can try it out live or host it yourself if you prefer. The simulator looks much like the standard IDE, so there isn’t much to learn. You can select from
Introduction Hello everyone, welcome back to our latest post. Are you familiar with a GSM module? In this article, we’ll explore making calls and sending messages using Arduino and the GSM module. If you’re new to understanding how a GSM module operates with Arduino, we recommend getting acquainted with it first. Ensure the connections are

[Lex] over at Computing: The Details loves to make fun projects. Recently, they have created a hardware CPU monitor that displays how PCs are parallelizing compile tasks at a glance. The monitor is built from 14 analog meters, along with some WS2812 RGB LEDs. Each meter represents a core on [Lex]’s CPU, while the final two meters show memory

For all that modern washers and dryers do, they don’t let you know when they’re finished. Or they do, but it’s only a short victory song that plays once and can be easy to miss. What most of us need is a gentle reminder that there’s damp laundry festering in the washer, or fresh laundry
If you want to keep your badminton game at its peak, you’ll need a good racket with a proper set of strings. When an injury kept [Antonie Colin] off the court for a few months, building a restringing machine helped pass the time. The design is straightforward, using commonly-available motion components and 3D-printed parts. The round

The gaming world experienced a bit of a resurgence in 2020 that is still seen in the present day. Even putting aside the effects from the pandemic, the affordability and accessibility has arguably never been better. Building a gaming PC can have its downsides, though, and a challenging issue to troubleshoot is input lag or
For as popular as the Arduino platform is, it’s not without its problems. Among those is the fact that most practical debugging is often done by placing various print statements throughout the code and watching for them in the serial monitor. There’s not really a great way of placing breakpoints or stepping through code, either. But this
The official Arduino team has this week announced that support for its latest microcontroller the UNO R4 WiFi has now arrived in the Arduino Cloud. The integration of UNO R4 WiFi support in the Arduino Cloud is a significant development that offers makers enhanced features and seamless connectivity. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, this development will undoubtedly
