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.
So, here is another easy-to-build ultrasonic proximity sensor based on Arduino to detect objects made from various materials regardless of their shape, colour, or surface contour. Thanks, it operates using high-frequency sound waves that are […]
The Chirping Cricket presented here creates electronic cricket chirping sounds that can be used for recreational purposes or to simulate warm summer nights. It is actually a continuation of a previously published similar do-it-yourself fun […]
Fear not, the cool noise bomb featured here cannot be used to send someone into the air. But if you just want to scare your friends (or someone at a friendly gathering), this little toy […]
The biggest attraction in most discotheques is the colourful strobe lights which are often synchronised to the rocking music. Another interesting gimmick is the psychedelic light system which enlivens things up a bit by flashing […]
After seeing an inspiring post on a website about making a simple automatic pet feeder using a cheap stepper motor, I decided to re-do some trivial experiments with it. For that I chose the very […]
Arduino is certainly a great microcontroller platform for STEM kids as it provides a wide range of learning opportunities for both students and teachers. So, this post is all about making your own smart night-light […]
As promised, here is another fun electronics project for our STEM kids. This time the theme is the setup of an Arduino VCLED Flasher. So, get ready to see a simple voltage controlled lamp flasher […]
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, […]
