This project is an Arduino-based alarm to monitor if the computer is working. In case the computer freezes, it will emit a warning sound signal. The project is composed from two parts: a program which runs on the computer, and an Arduino connected in an USB port. The computer programs sends a predefined character…
The art of firebending as seen in Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra is a melding of Asian martial arts and pyrokinesis. So how can we control fire with fancy fight moves in real life? With Arduinos, of course! The flamethrower part of this project is composed of a butane fuel…
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…
