Let’s see how to build a small piano using Arduino, a buzzer and aluminum foil. The principle used is the capacitive sensor, capable of detecting the electrical capacity of the human body. The sensor setup requires a medium to high value resistor, a wire and a piece of aluminum foil at the end. More info
Thanks to the acoustic waves generated by transducers you can make small objects levitate in mid-air. Now you can create this technology (initially used in research labs), even in your home. The main components are an Arduino Nano, an L298N module and 40kHz transducers mounted on a 3D printed support whose model is available. More…
We build a Fishino-powered weather station that allows you to collect data from sensors, view them in real-time, send push notifications and save data at regular intervals. We cannot deny that the occurrence of extreme weather phenomena in areas of the Planet where they have never occurred is due to climate change, partly attributable to…
Having too many people in one room with poor ventilation can lead to unsafe conditions and an increased probability of sharing airborne viruses. With this instrument you can track the air quality and visualize historic trends. With this monitor, you can immediately see the local air quality on the 8 pixel LED strip and you…
3D-printed clock with 24 analog faces that combine to form a single digital display. The overall device is controlled by a single Arduino Nano, which keeps track of the time using a RTC module. This unit coordinates 24 other Nanos on custom carrier boards, which in turn drive their own little clock face via a…
Fishmograph allows to precisely monitor earthquakes involving our house using the D7S sensor, sending us an email notification for every event detected, allowing us to take people and things to safety. Italy is one of the Mediterranean countries with the highest seismic risk and this very unfavourable record is due to its geographic…
A control unit for the garden sprinkler that can be controlled via web and smartphone thanks to Arduino Yún. With summer approaching, our plants and our gardens need some regular watering in order to stay lush and green as we like them. It’s not easy to always remember to water plants and gardens…
