Arduino is one of the most exciting embedded development board evolved from the open source community to learn and build arduino projects for hobbyists and electronic enthusiasts. It is the best resource for making DIY projects and Prototypes.
The Arduino makes use of different Microprocessors and on-chip microcontrollers to design devices that interact with the sensors and actuators.
The most popular variants of Arduino are Arduino UNO, Arduino YUN, Arduino LEONARDO, Arduino NANO, Arduino MEGA.
Arduino comes with prebuilt shields for ease of interfacing various add-on modules like GSM/GPRS shield, Ethernet shield, USB shield, and Wireless shield for IOT projects.
A common application for electronic timers is to turn electrical devices on/off until a predetermined time, a task that can easily be implemented with ubiquitous microcontrollers like the Arduino! Usually that time period starts from […]
Now remember that you can interchange a regular LED for a standard silicon photodiode in most projects. The best way to come up with new applications for light emitting diodes that act as photodiodes is […]
As promised, this is a follow-up to the Quick OLED Thermometer post covering a few things about customizing the OLED display splash screen. Oh, I could not get this posted here at the intended time, […]
Inspired by a dazzling Chinese design, I started thinking about making my own bicolor LED waistband with a few components lying around my workbench. In this post, you can see the basic design concept of […]
An LED signal baton (also called marshalling torch) is a proven gadget to head traffic. Primarily it is widely used by traffic police, attendants etc. to channelize traffic but it is a great handy aid […]
Last week the prime goal was to revise my design thoughts on automatic aroma diffuser and make a bit amended version for a distant client, again using a bunch of readily available inexpensive components. I […]
There are many ways to use standard hobby servos in do it yourself projects. I semi-regularly hear about design concepts that I’m not familiar with. Recently, I had a reader, who’s an amateur toy maker, […]
Not all Arduino projects demand all GPIOs. ATtiny85 microcontroller certainly helps in miniaturizing such projects as required. So, for simple projects, the ATtiny85 can be a great choice. Recall that the ATtiny85 microcontroller chip is […]
Water outflow alarms (flood sensor alarms) are arguably the most widely used commercial water leak detectors since they are cheap and easy to install. A water outflow alarm helps protect your home and belongings from […]
Not long ago, I played around with making an overheat sensor siren on the Arduino Uno, which I later modified a bit and incorporated into another hobby electronics project. Needless to say, it worked fine. […]
