DIY Rain Detector using Arduino and Rain Sensor Rain Detection System using Arduino and Rain Sensor

A simple Rain Detection System can be easily built by interfacing an Arduino with Rain Sensor. The sensor will detect any rainfall falling on it and the Arduino board will sense it and can perform required actions. A system like this can be used in many different fields, such as agriculture and automobile fields. Rainfall detection can be used to automatically regulate…

Arduino Pedometer DIY Arduino Pedometer - Counting Steps using Arduino and Accelerometer

Fitness bands are getting very popular nowadays, which not only counts the footsteps but also tracks your calories burned, display heartbeat rate, showtime and many more. And these IoT devices are synced with the cloud so that you can easily get all the history of your physical activity on a smartphone. We have also built an IoT Based Patient Monitoring System where the…

Display advertising plays a very important role in marketing, and there are several advertising methods like newspapers, posters, glow signboards, etc.. Still, digital LED display boards are getting popular nowadays because of their reliability and advantages. Although they are a little expensive, they are durable and customizable. P10 LED display boards have…

Arduino Currency Counter using IR and Color Sensor Arduino Currency Counter using IR and Color Sensor

In this project we are going to work on an innovative arduino project idea, where we can count the paper currency notes and calculate their amount, by sensing the paper currency using Color Sensor and Arduino. TCS230 color sensor will be used for detecting the currency notes and, Arduino UNO for processing the data and showing the remaining balance on 16x2 LCD.…

Arduino Home Automation using Acoustic Connectivity powered by Chirp Arduino Home Automation using Acoustic Connectivity powered by Chirp

Recently I got intrigued with all the new Home Automation products in the market and hence I purchased a Google Home Mini and few other smart devices to control lights, fans, AC and what not. While it did work and everything was fun to use, I got a bit troubled with having all these wireless connectivities happening around me. My bedroom alone had 5 smart devices, and…

Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Board Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Review - What's New and How to Get Started?

Arduino has been the go-to development platform for fast prototyping and idea validation. Many of us would have started with the Arduino UNO development board, but today as we progress towards the Internet of things, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, and other futuristic technologies, the humble Arduino UNO could no longer cope up with its 8-…

Login to Windows Computers using RFID tag and Arduino Login to Windows Computers using RFID tag and Arduino

As many of us know computers were invented around 1871, but it was not until 1961 we had them password protected. Early in the 19’s we used pins and alphanumeric characters as passwords for our computers, today we have many types of verification methods like Password, Pin, Pattern, Gesture, Fingerprint recognition, Face recognition and much more.  But still, it is a…

Alexa controlled Home Automation using Arduino and ESP-01 Wi-Fi Module Alexa Controlled Home Automation using Arduino and ESP-01 Wi-Fi Module

Smart speakers like Amazon Echo or Google home are getting popular now days and both have capability to integrate custom skill or action to control any appliance using those Smart speaker. We previously built our own Smart speaker using Raspberry Pi and Alexa, and also controlled home appliances using this Raspberry Pi smart speaker.
