Explore practical Arduino Nano projects focused on compact, low-power, and space-constrained designs. Arduino Nano is commonly used in embedded systems where size matters, while still offering full Arduino compatibility.
These projects demonstrate how Arduino Nano is applied in miniaturized electronics, sensor-based systems, wearable concepts, and custom PCB designs, with complete code and circuit diagrams provided.
There are several water fountains which unconditionally sprinkle water with some interesting lighting effects. So I wandered about designing an innovative water fountain which can respond to external music and sprinkle water depending on the music beats. Isn’t it sound interesting?
The basic idea of this Arduino Water Fountain is to take an input…
Today any average car consists of around 60 to 100 sensor units in it for sensing and exchanging information. With car manufactures constantly making their car more smarter with features like Autonomous driving, Airbag system, Tire Pressure monitoring, Cruise control system etc. this number is only expected to go high. Unlike other sensors, these sensors process critical…
TOF or Time of flight is a commonly used method to measure the distance of distant objects by various distance measurement sensor like ultrasonic sensor. The measurement of the time taken by a particle, wave or an object to travel a distance through a medium is referred to as Time-of-flight (TOF). This measurement can then be used to calculate the velocity or…
Ever wondered how our world is moving towards immersive reality? We are continuously finding new ways and methods to interact with our surroundings using virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality, and air gesture mouse technologies. New devices are coming out every day with these fast-paced technologies to impress us with their new interactive technologies.

Biometrics has been used as a reliable authentication system for a long time now. Today there exist complex biometric systems which can identify a person by his heart beat rhythm or even by his DNA. Other feasible methods include voice recognition, Face recognition, Iris scanning and Finger print Scanning. Out of which the finger print recognition is the most widely used…
Self-driving cars and connected vehicles, is sure to change the way we commute in the future. Today companies like Tesla are encouraging its owners to lend out their cars as robot taxis when not used, recently its CEO Elon Musk took it to twitter to state that there will be more than 1 million robot taxis on road by 2020. This will not only impact general…
An Arduino obstacle avoiding robot is a smart, autonomous robot that detects obstacles on its path using sensors and then navigates around the obstacle by changing direction. This obstacle avoidance robot using Arduino project is a great project for newbies who want to learn about robotics and programming. The robot has been provided with an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for…
The advancement in Electric Vehicles, Drone and other mobile electronics like IoT Devices seems to be promising for the future. One common thing among all these is that they are all powered by batteries. Following Moore’s law the electronic devices tend to become smaller and more potable, these portable devices should have their own source of power to operate. The most…
It is expected that by 2020 we will have 25 Billion devices connected to the internet. To give you an idea that is more than three times the population of earth today. With the concepts of IoT and Industry 4.0, Connected Vehicles and Smart Cities spreading rapidly, this is most likely to happen. We already have a handful of wireless protocols like BLE, Wi-Fi, Cellular etc,…
Choosing a communication protocol for communication between microcontrollers and peripheral devices is an important part of embedded system. It is important because the overall performance of any embedded application depends on communication means as it is related to cost reduction, faster data transfer, long distance coverage etc.
In the previous…
Consider a fast-moving car, if it suddenly gets hit by another car in opposite direction, the first thing that happens is that, the accelerometer sensor present in the car senses a sudden de-acceleration and triggers an external interrupt to the microcontroller present in the car. Then based on that interrupt the microcontroller produces an electric signal to deploy the…
We all know that the Microcontrollers work only with digital values but in real world we have to deal with analog signals. That’s why ADC (Analog to Digital Converters) is there to convert real world Analog values into Digital form so that microcontrollers can process the signals. But what if we need Analog signals from digital values, so here comes the DAC (Digital to…
