https://youtu.be/6s-NHiIjsHI This project uses a 8×8 led matrix to display the direction in which the accelerometer is tilted. The 8×8 led matrix is operated using a SN74HC595N shift register (without the aid of any drives/libraries). More info
A challenge faced by many hospitals, especially during the current times, is the understaffing and the inability to constantly monitor each patient at the same time. This system can alert hospital staff that a patient in a wheelchair may have problems by monitoring the chair’s actions using three sensors (an obstacle detection module, a tilt…
Ever wondered how your smartphone knows up from down! It’s one of the coolest features of today’s smartphones. They all got a tiny device called Accelerometer built into the circuitry which can sense when you tilt it from side to side. That’s how your smartphone automatically figures out when to switch the screen layout from…
In this project, I build a pen device which can be used to recognize handwritten numerals. As its input, it takes multidimensional accelerometer and gyroscope sensor data. Its output will be a simple classification that notifies us if one of several classes of movements, in this case 0 to 9 digit, has recently occurred….
•The percentage of disabled people has increased in both rural and urban part of India. The disability could be by birth or due to some medical or accidental reason. •The aim of this project is to make a hand gesture controlled wheel chair and using Accelerometer as sensor to help the physically disabled people…
If you’re interested in physics, electronics and DIY you can’t miss this quaternion compass! It’s made of an Arduino board which collects data from an MPU-9250 accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer , and after a series of calculations shows your orientation on a display. More info
University of Auckland’s Augmented Human Lab have prototyped a wearable system called GymSoles to help you to improve your workout by monitoring and correcting your form. “GymSoles enables a correct execution of exercises, such as squats and dead-lifts by solely providing feedback on the Centre of Pressure (CoP). We developed a prototype consisting of a…
The Wii Nunchuk controller is the notorious official Nintendo Wii controller with two buttons, a joystick, and an accelerometer, which makes it pretty versatile. Thingiverse Keycaps wanted to take advantage of the Joystick’s motion capabilities for a unique application, and so they stuffed a Raspberry Pi Zero W inside one. The Pi Zero is small, but…
This Arduino controlled digital multi-measuring gadget employs an MPU-6050 accelerometer and gyroscope that lets it act as a 2D level, as well as a digital protractor after zeroing it at a starting point. The unit also features straight-line measurement capabilities via an IR distance sensor, and even has an encoder with a wheel that can…
The AmbaSat-1 is a tiny Space satellite kit that you assemble and code yourself is now available from £35 on Kickstarter. AmbaSat-1 is part of a new generation of satellites known as Sprite satellites. They are tiny spacecraft measuring 35 mm square and just a few millimetres thick. Pioneered by the original KickSat, the company…
Relativty is an open source affordable SteamVR-compatible headset that can be made for around $100. The Relativty VR headset uses a 3D printed frame to house a 2560 x 1440 LCD screen, together with a pair of 80mm Fresnel lenses to enable the image to be focused correctly. Control of the VR headset is provided…
