Background and motivation Two factors inspired this project: my struggle to wake up in the morning and my enjoyment of collecting and graphing data from daily tasks. My main problem with waking up in the morning is that feeling of grogginess along with an intense desire to sleep more. However, I’ve noticed that sleeping without […]
Meet Chartreuse! Chartreuse’s face follows you when you walk by. When she sees you, her eyes turn yellow and she gets a happy expression in her eyes. As you walk away, her eyes change to blue and she sadly turns away. Chartreuse is powered by an Arduino Uno, two servos, and a stepper motor and
The idea of using triangulation for distance measurements is well known since Pythagorean time, when his brilliant formula become available for mathematicians. What is new in this design, is lasers power control via “blooming” effect of CMOS camera. Here this “negative” effect was put to work instead of ADC. No need high price “no-blooming” camera!
My Idea Whenever I go for a run, it bothers me to carry my phone just to track my activity. Those arm bands people use to hold their phones seem awkward to me. If you want to track your runs without carrying a phone, you need a device with dedicated GPS, like Garmin running watches.

Featured Application The research project described in the paper seeks to develop a real-time human body temperature tracking system using the Internet of Things (IoT) and LoRa wireless network technologies. Specifically, an Arduino microcontroller is used to interface with a body temperature sensor and transmit the sensor data via a LoRa module to monitor temperature

The LT8648S synchronous step-down dc-dc regulator from Analog Devices features second generation Silent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switching frequencies. This includes the integration of input and boost capacitors to optimize all the fast current loops inside and make it easy to achieve advertised EMI performance by reducing layout
As with so many other people, I’ve always been a massive Harry Potter fan. One of the coolest magical items in the series was almost certainly the Weasley family clock that had a hand for each family member, and moved to reflect their location. I had wanted to make my own version of the clock
Online privacy is a thing of concern for most internet users today, with ads, pop-ups, and malicious website threatening our internet security. This has led to products and solutions aimed at protecting internet users against tracking, targeted ads, cookies, and various other threats that has been popping up. The likes of Fingbox and Firewalla are available, but their hardware

Designed for mass-market tracking and navigation applications, the Teseo-LIV3R ROM-based module, has full GNSSalgorithm capability for cost-conscious tracking and navigation devices, says ST Microelectronics. The GNSS module provides odometer functionality with three trip counters and reached-distance alert, along with geo-fencing capabilities with up to eight configurable circles and crossing-circles alarm. Support for real-time assisted GNSS with free server
