Arduino Magnetometer

Arduino Magnetometer

What are we building? Humans can’t detect magnetic fields, but we use devices that rely on magnets all the time. Motors, compasses, rotation sensors, and wind turbines, for example, all require magnets for operation. This tutorial describes how to build an Arduino based magnetometer that senses magnetic field using three Hall effect sensors. The magnetic

Alone Together – Plant Lamps

This instructable is part of the course Physical Interaction and Realization at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology. We are going to teach you how to build two, quite organic and interactive plant-lamps, Thorulf and Svamp. Thorulf is a plant with flex sensors and LEDs while Svamp is a collection of mushrooms with circular force sensors. They are connected via Bluetooth and

Sensors in Phone and Arduino Serial Communication

Sensors in Phone and Arduino Serial Communication

Sensors are one of the crucial things when it comes to building projects/robots. Many a times the sensor might be not available locally or it might take too long to ship. Smart phone have most of the basic sensors like proximity, accelerometer, light, magnetometer, gyroscope, etc. embedded and we can in fact use these sensors

Cat Whisker Sensory Extension Wearable 2.0

Cat Whisker Sensory Extension Wearable (2.0)

This project is a continuation and reimagining of my former colleague’s (metaterra) “Whisker Sensory Extension Wearable”. The purpose of this project was to focus on the creation of novel, computationally-enriched “sensory extensions” that allow for augmented-sensing of the natural world. My major effort with this project was devoted to the fabrication and implementation of sensory
