If you need to monitor the fluid level in a large diameter well, a tank, or an open container, for only €70 you can build your own Ultrasonic fluid level monitoring system. One day, my brother and I talked about how our grandfather used to measure the water level manually in order to keep track…
“In this project I will show you how I combined a couple steel pieces with an Arduino, an APA102 LED Strip and a Hall effect sensor in order to create a POV (persistence of vision) RGB LED Globe. WIth it you can create all kinds of spherical pictures or even letters which is a definite…
Moscow-based media artist Dmitry Morozov has created his electromagnetic/electromechanical organ by combining three small motors with a guitar pickup and a touch keypad: it’s called Motorgan. Motorgan uses two differently sized PC cooling fans, as well as a gear motor to produce various sounds. A separate keypad is used for each motor, and each of the…
If you’d like to do biological experiments, one of the most important tools you’ll need is a centrifuge. These devices can separate biological substances into their component parts by weight by spinning them around at a high RPM. Blood, for instance, can be separated out into plasma, white blood cells and platelets, and red blood…
A unique proof of concept actuated smartwatch has been created by Dartmouth researchers using little Arduino programming and hardware, providing a glimpse at what future smartwatches may look like. Cito is an actuated smartphone concept that physically moves itself using an Arduino Due, Bluetooth and several motors. We propose and explore actuating a smartwatch face to ena-ble…
Using a pair of Arduino MKR1000s, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and FX Palo Alto Laboratory have come up with a new way to track 10 fingers to within less than two millimeters. In this technique, called “Lift,” a normal DLP projector is used to display a series of tiny encoded images onto any…
Easily and quickly connect your Arduino boards and manage your projects with the Cayenne web dashboard (mobile app support coming soon). Features Include: Drag and drop widgets to create a customized project dashboard Create widgets for any connected sensor or actuator Sketch files provided to quickly get started with minimal effort Visualize Arduino sensor data…
I’m always fascinated by these projects based on the “Useless Box” concept. A game that actually does nothing, but in a very charming and elegant way. It is a machine that turns off the knob that you’ve just switched on- a ruthless battle between human and robot. This, made with an Arduino Zero board…
