Interfacing BH1750 Ambient Light Sensor with Arduino How to Use BH1750 Ambient Light Sensor with Arduino

When you take your phone in sunshine or in high lighting, then it automatically adjusts the brightness according to the lighting conditions. Most of the display devices now a days, whether it’s a TV or mobile phone, have the Ambient Light Sensor inside to adjust the brightness automatically. Today in this tutorial, we will use one such sensor BH1750 Light Sensor Module…

RS-485 MODBUS Serial Communication with Arduino as Master RS-485 MODBUS Serial Communication with Arduino as Master

In the previous tutorial we learned about Modbus RS-485 Serial Communication with Arduino as Slave. In continuation with that article today Arduino will be used MODBUS Master and communicate with MODBUS slave. Here MODBUS Slave Software installed computer will be used as MODBUS Master. So, let’s begin by a short introduction about the RS-485 and Modbus.

How to use HM-10 BLE Module with Arduino to control an LED using Android App How to Use HM-10 BLE Module with Arduino to Control an LED using Android App

Bluetooth is one of the most popular and easy to use wireless technology. Over the few years there have been many upgrades of Bluetooth standard to keep pace with the current ongoing technology with future technology and to satisfy needs of users. Starting from the Bluetooth version 1.0 to Bluetooth version 5.0, there are many things changed including higher data rates, the…

Joystick Game Controller using Arduino Leonardo Joystick Game Controller using Arduino Leonardo

We previously interfaced Joystick with Arduino UNO to understand how it works and controlled four LEDs on its left, right, up and down movement. In this project we will use the same Joystick as Gamepad or game controller to play any computer games which requires left, right, up and down movements. To play games which requies more control options, two or more joysticks can be…

DIY Arduino based Color Sorter Machine using TCS3200 Color Sensor DIY Arduino Based Color Sorter Machine using TCS3200 Color Sensor

As the name suggests, color sorting is simply to sort the things according to their color. It can be easily done by seeing it but when there are too many things to be sorted and it is a repetitive task then automatic color sorting machines are very useful.  These machines have color sensor to sense the color of any objects and after detecting the color servo motor grab…

IoT based Biometric Attendance system using Arduino and Thingsboard IoT Based Biometric Attendance system using Arduino and Thingsboard

Few years back if you were to tell someone that the Geyser and bedroom lights in your home are connected to internet, they would be baffled and might even criticize it as over-engineered products. But today with the advent of IoT, Smart cities etc the idea no longer sounds strange, we have devices around us that have become smarter by being able to communicate with the…

Programming Arduino using Platform IO: Blinking LED Programming Arduino using Platform IO

Development in Arduino and Arduino IDE has always been easy and fun with their simple user interface. The Arduino IDE is open-source and free to use Development Environment with all features like write, compile and upload the code to Arduino Boards. It is based on Java and runs on major OS like Windows, OS X and Linux. But with all its simplicity and large community, it…

Arduino unveils Arduino SIM – a new cellular connectivity service for Arduino IoT Cloud Arduino unveils Arduino SIM – a new cellular connectivity service for Arduino IoT Cloud

Arduino has today launched Arduino SIM, a SIM-only service exclusively for IoT (internet of things) devices based on the Arduino platform, to give developers and manufacturers cellular access to the Arduino IoT Cloud platform from over 100 countries with a single data plan and competitive pricing.​

Interfacing GT511C3 Finger Print Sensor with Arduino Interfacing GT511C3 Finger Print Sensor (FPS) with Arduino

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…

Arduino Multitasking Tutorial - How to use Arduino millis() Function in Code Arduino Multitasking Tutorial - How to use millis() in Arduino Code

The multitasking has led the computers to a revolution where one or more programs can run simultaneously which increases efficiency, flexibility, adaptability and productivity. In embedded systems, microcontrollers can also handle Multitasking and performs two or more tasks simultaneously without halting the current instructions.

Here in this …

Arduino Node.js Tutorial: Controlling Brightness of LED through Web Interface Node.js with Arduino: Controlling Brightness of LED through Web Interface

We have seen numerous examples of Blinking an LED using different Microcontrollers and different programming languages. Today, we will use a very popular JavaScript framework  Node.js to control the LED connected to Arduino Uno. We will also use Node.js to control the brightness of LED from a webpage using Arduino. By few tweaks and using ESP8266, this can be converted…

LoRa with Raspberry Pi – Peer to Peer Communication with Arduino LoRa with Raspberry Pi – Peer to Peer Communication with ArduinoLoRa is getting increasingly popular with the advent of IoT, Connected Cars, M2M, Industry 4.0 etc. Because of its ability to communicate to long distances with very less power it is preferably used by designers to send/receive data from a battery powered Thing. We have already discussed the basics of LoRa and how to use LoRa with Arduino. Although the technology is originally intended for a LoRa…
