While we can track cycling with Pelaton, running/walking with fitbit, some of the basic exercise such as push ups are still relatively hard to track. In this article, we are building a prototype of push up counter using kemet pyroelectric sensor and Arduino. More info
Innovation remains the absolute protagonist. The mission is promoting progress through the sharing of ideas by creating a virtuous ecosystem between makers, companies, institutions, schools, universities and research centres. Over 300 stands with ideas, prototypes and innovative projects are ready to be unveiled, and dozens of live conferences have already been set up. The many…
It will be possible to access the platform during the days of the event with a simple registration (all useful information will be available on the portal https://makerfairerome.eu/it/). To improve the visitor’s experience, you just have to profile yourself by expressing preferences on the themes and activities that you expect to find during the event….
This is a mini project I made for fun. It was done at the beginning of this year and I thought I should share the story behind the making of this. It’s a cactus that tweet when it needs water :P. The idea started as an inspired project. I was watching a ted talk…
With the recent discontinuation of the SmartShield attachment for the Arduino. The Samsung SmartThings community has been looking for a replacement for this shield. This project presents the start of a solution to this, using the Arduino wireless shield and a Xbee series 2C to create a simple switch. The switch can control the…
In this example we have tried to send and receive data from a database in real-time in Firebase, learning how to create the DDBB, the application in Arduino, and then finally to access it from a mobile application created with App Inventor. Let’s see each part in detail. More info
I wanted to make a quirky project using some 8×8 matrix LEDs and some ultrasonic sensors… something different from what other people usually make with ultrasonics – and I wanted it to be fun and playful. So I created what I call UltrasonicEyes – a fun project that you sit somewhere near where people move around…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG55OmGgqmQ&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=PCBWay A sensor converts data such as heat, light, sound, and motion into electrical signals. These signals are passed through an interface that converts them into a binary code and passes this on to a computer to be processed. Today, let’s see how makers use plenty of sensors to build their awesome projects! …
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has gotten us used to wait for a while between new hardware releases, but right after having announced Raspberry Pi CM4 and CM4 Lite a couple of weeks ago, the company has now introduced Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard computer with many of the same features as Raspberry Pi 4 single board computer, but as…
While we are challenged to continue our work remotely as protection layer in the current situation we should avoid get in contact with others until the situation will be under control. The main idea is to build a thermal camera detector that can be easily deployed outside your house /lab /office /shuttle… so you…
The seismometer is a device for the detection of earthquakes and measuring their strength. Basically these are very precise instruments and are relatively difficult for self-construction. Commercially available sensors are very expensive, and cheap electronic modules sensitive to shocks are not sufficiently sensitive to this purpose. In the text and video that follow, you…
This instructable video is all about how to monitor the Quality of water, interns of monitoring the level of water, the temperature of the water and its surrounding, the turbidity of the water (how clean the water is) as well as the PH levels of the Water. So this system monitors all of these…
