Automatic brightness on the computer with Arduino
Have you ever wondered why smartphones are called smartphones? Because they are smart, right? They do some jobs automatically, intelligently. This is the short answer. For example, mobile phones have an automatic brightness control system, which is very useful. But for unknown reasons, computers don’t have an automatic brightness control system. To change the brightness,…

Long range autonomous boat
This project was inspired by the vision of a real boat equipped with various sensors capable of measuring the depth of the seabed; we therefore thought of building an autonomous small-scale boat to perform the same tasks. This could be equipped with the necessary sensors and programmed to guide you along a desired path and…

Share & Discover by PCBWay
For all electronic designers, having new ideas and sources of inspiration is essential. At the base of the open-source movement there is the sharing of one’s own projects so that other technicians can take inspiration. There are many repositories where you can find complete projects, but now we want to introduce you to our sponsor…

PCB Recycling: The Core of Your Electronics Is More Valuable Than You Think
The screen you are looking at this very moment will someday be recycled. Electronic recycling is fast becoming just as important as plastic and steel recycling. This is because your household electronic devices – old VCRs, stereo systems, television sets and desktop computers – contain valuable metals and components that can be broken down, recycled…

How to make a custom shape PCB with Eagle
The usual rectangular shaped PCBs got bored. The current prototyping services like PCBWAY allow to create PCBs with different shapes. An excellent software that allows you to get the gerber to be printed is Eagle. With the help of other free software such as Google Sketchup it is possible to create circuits of all shapes….

Capacitive touch kitchen timer
In this project we see how to build an Arduino-based capacitive kitchen timer that allows users to interact via touch input. The finished device is driven by ATMega328PU (the same microcontroller on which Arduino UNO is based). You will need a few components, but the end result will be a unique gadget that will liven…

Theremin based on Arduino Uno
The theremin is an electronic musical instrument, the oldest known that does not involve physical contact of the performer with the instrument. In fact, the sound is obtained by waving the hands near its two antennas. Open Theremin is an Open-Source hardware implementation based on Arduino Uno. Together with Arduino, a Shield was built in…
