The Candied Dead Baby is an Arduino-controlled interactive halloween decoration. It has been designed, created and assembled by three industrial design engeneering students from Elisava. Using servomotors and ultrasonic distance sensors as well as a buzzer, we’ve designed a product that when an ultrasonic sensor catches movement in front of it, activates a servomotor and a

How to structure wind-sensor logging code: validated event windows, debounce assumptions, sleep gaps and how to interpret a failed cloud upload.
I recently had my kitchen updated and knew that lighting would ‘lift’ the look of the cupboards. I went for ‘True Handless’ so I have a gap under the work surface, as well as a kickboard, under cupboard and on the top of the cupboards available and wanted to light them up. After looking around

I have multiple bioactive tropical vivariums for my crested geckos, and I always need to spray them morning and night, as well as when the humidity is too low (which happens multiple times per day), and I have to turn on and off the lights and monitor the temperature. I’ve made some small projects with
Automated Bioactive Tropical Reptile Vivarium (using Arduino) Continue Reading
Temperature and humidity measurement are always a nice addition to hobbyist projects. In my previous post, I’ve discussed the DHT11 sensor, which is capable of measuring both temperature and humidity. They are digital sensor and provide calibrated outputs with temperature and relative humidity. I’ve also demonstrated how to interface with Arduino and display it on

In this article, we are going to Control the Robot Car through the G sensor of our mobile phone and you will be able to move the Robot just by tilting the Phone. We will also use Arduino and RemoteXY app for this G-Sensor Controlled Robot. RemoteXY app is used to create the interface in

In case you are unfamiliar with the most amazing new way to physically “check in” to foursquare here is a video that will explain it all: Mark Your Territory is a fully open-source system but because it interacts with the physical world as well as the digital one, some construction is necessary beyond just simply

Meet Easy Pulse: A kit that includes all it needs to make a DIY heart rate sensor. Although it is not built using an Arduino, it is still open and easy to build. From the site: “This project is based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG) which is a non-invasive method of measuring the variation
A DIY photoplethysmographic sensor for measuring heart rate Continue Reading
This is a fun and pretty easy project that I built as a Christmas present for my kid who loves throwing things. Watch the video to see what it can do. It’s built out of a regular Arduino UNO, pressure sensors made from velostat, and RGB LED strip, and 7 segment LED display. Source code

Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to measure distances, but they can also be used to detect objects. By connecting a couple of IR sensors to an Arduino, you can make an intruder alarm. Overview Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to estimate the distance of an object, but you can also use them to detect the
