Force Sensor

In an ambitious experiment, a creator built a robotic lockpicker that can identify internal lock pins without a camera. It relies on force sensing and Hooke’s Law. This improves on previous versions of the project that took a brute-force approach, which cost up to a week trying every possible pin combination.  

The new version uses RC servo motors for quicker movement and mounts…

Coronavirus is the biggest health crisis in the history of humanity and the fight with it continues as new emerging variants like Omicron are at the brink of spreading, Moreover, according to a study conducted by a university in Japan, wearing a mask can only reduce 30% of the risk of getting Covid! Therefore, dealing with such a problem permanently on a…

Thousands of lives are being lost every year due to IEDs (improvise explosive devices). IEDs were responsible for approximately 63% of coalition deaths in Iraq. An IED consists of a switch (activator), an initiator (fuse), container (body), charge (explosive), and a power source (battery) or manual ignition. Not every IED…

In this tutorial we will develop a circuit using Force sensor, Arduino Uno and a servo motor. It will be a servo control system where the servo shaft position is determined by the weight present on the force sensor. Before going any further let’s talk about about the servo and other components.

Servo Motors are used where there is a need for accurate shaft movement or…

In this project we will be developing a fun circuit using Force sensor and Arduino Uno. This circuit generates sound linearly related to force applied on the sensor. For that we are going to interface FORCE sensor with Arduino Uno. In UNO, we are going use 8 bit ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) feature to do the job.
