It’s now about six years since Star Wars: The Force Awakens first showed us the little spherical robot BB-8, but it’s fair to say that along the way we’ve not lost our collective fascination for rolling-ball robots. There have been plenty of attempts to make a fully-rolling device, but perhaps [Derek Lieber] has a better take on […]

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

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

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

Building beautiful GUI Based applications is the dream for every project which involves a display, however, quality of available displays and ease of development has always been a challenge. This is however fast-changing courtesy of the Mikromedia 7 Capacitive development board from Mikroe. The mikromedia 7 Capacitive is a compact development board, designed as a

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

Over time, we have built several Arduino based weather stations, real-time clocks, dataloggers and a dozen of projects based on Nokia 5110 LCD display. For today’s tutorial, we will merge all that we have learned from each of those tutorials and we will build a datalogger with a display that allows you to select different

This example demonstrates one techinque for calibrating sensor input. The Arduino takes sensor readings for five seconds during the startup, and tracks the highest and lowest values it gets. These sensor readings during the first five seconds of the sketch execution define the minimum and maximum of expected values for the readings taken during the
Calibrating sensor input using Arduino Continue Reading
Experience Level: Intermediate (requires soldering) Time Required: 3-5 hours depending on experience J-BOT Kit Jameco P/N 2140285 Someone mentioned that Jameco needed a robotic mascot. I have always been a tinkerer, especially with radio-controlled electronics and so I volunteered for the chance to design and create the J-Bot. While this was my first autonomous
