To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional cup anemometer and wind vane. Another less-known method is to use an array of ultrasonic transducers, which doesn’t need any moving parts. [Andy] demonstrates building an ultrasonic anemometer using a cheap after-market parking distance sensor kit and an Arduino. Demo video after the break. Aside from […]

To say that the ocean is a dynamic environment would be a gross understatement, especially when coastlines are involved. Waves crash, tides go in and out, and countless variables make even the usual conditions a guessing game. When [foobarbecue] goes surfing, he tries to take into account all of these things. The best waves at

Controlling your computer with a wave of the hand seems like something from science fiction, and for good reason. From Minority Report to Iron Man, we’ve seen plenty of famous actors controlling their high-tech computer systems by wildly gesticulating in the air. Meanwhile, we’re all stuck using keyboards and mice like a bunch of chumps. But it doesn’t

The temperature sensor for Arduino is a fundamental element when we want to measure the temperature of a processor of the human body. The temperature sensor with Arduino must be in contact or close to receive and measure the heat level. That’s how thermometers work. These devices are extremely used to measure the body temperature

It’s not Wall-e, But it looks like Wall-e a bit. In this Instructable, I’m going to show how you can make a simple obstacle avoiding robot using Arduino in a very simple manner. learn to interface a servo motor and ultrasonic sensor with Arduino. Step 1: What You Need to Build This Robot? To make
Wall-e, an Obstacle Avoiding Robot Continue Reading
Social distancing indicator is used for many purpose . It is harmless and one of the social services. It will reduce the health issues and society problems. Description SOCIAL DISTANCING INDICATOR DESCRIPTION: For the upcoming generation, social distancing indicator is very effective for humans.

This projects is a mix of two of my main passions, Arduino and Wind. Here is a simple project that I used this OLD PC fan as a small wind generator to sense the wind speed. Here we are using modified PC fan as a wind speed sensor using Arduino and showing the results on a smartphone running the
Arduino Bluetooth PC Fan Wind Sensor With RemoteXY Continue Reading
Having made a lot of wearables as an engineer, advisor, and through replication, there’s one irritation that I find consistent with a lot of systems (mine included) – components (typically sensors & actuators) can’t be maneuvered to the wearer’s preferences. To begin to think about how to solve this issue, I’ve made this prototype system

Use biometric sensors for your DIY Arduino projects and impress your friends. While we’re used to seeing medical devices in hospitals, it is now possible for hobbyists like you to add biometric sensors to your DIY Arduino projects with ease. In fact, there are a variety of sensors available on the market you can use
8 Arduino-Compatible Biometric Sensors for Hobbyists Continue Reading
This Instructable is to build a very smart, talking campsite security system that is disguised in an owl decoy. Now, this isn’t your typical Arduino ultrasonic distance sensing project. Rather, you will learn how to reverse engineer the very inexpensive, but far superior automotive bumper backup sensors for very wide beams of detection. You’ll also learn how
