Open-Source Prosthetic Hand Open-Source Prosthetic Hand with 19 DOF

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have developed an Open-Source Prosthetic Hand that replicates human dexterity with 19 degrees of freedom (DOF). The device utilizes shape-memory alloy (SMA) actuators, which function as artificial muscles. These actuators offer a high power-to-weight ratio, allowing the prosthetic to achieve…

Virtual Reality Project using Arduino and Processing Virtual Reality Interface with Gesture-Control using Arduino and Processing

This is a very interesting project in which we are going to learn how to implement virtual reality using Arduino and Processing. For most of us, the movie Iron man by Jon Favreau has always been an inspiration to build new things that will make our life easy and more fun. I have personally admired the Techs that are shown in the movie and have always wanted to build…

DIY Homemade Electromagnetic Levitation Device DIY Electromagnetic Levitation Device

This Electromagnetic levitation device is a cool to build an anti-gravity project that is exciting and interesting to watch. The device can make something float without any visible support, it is like an object swimming in free space or air. To make this device work, you need to attract an object using the electromagnet, but when it is very close to the electromagnet, the…

MLX91377 Hall Sensor IC High Linearity, Low Drift Hall Sensor IC for Automotive Torque-Sensing Applications

Melexis has introduced the ASIL-ready MLX91377 Hall sensor IC that can operate at ambient temperature up to 160°C and suitable for safety-critical automotive systems such as electric power-assisted steering (EPAS). By combining high linearity with excellent thermal stability, including low offset and sensitivity drift the MLX91377 supports accurate, dependable torque sensing…

Arduino Solenoid Door Lock using RFID Arduino Solenoid Door Lock using RFID

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an inexpensive and accessible technology. It can be used in many applications such as access control, security, asset tracking, people tracking, etc. You have seen the RFID Door Lock system in Hotels, offices, and many other places where you just have to place the card near RFID reader for a second and the door will be opened. We used…

Current Sensing Techniques using Different Current Sensors Current Sensing Techniques using Different Current Sensors

Current is a very critical factor in Electronics or Electrical Engineering. In electronics, current can have a bandwidth from few nano-amperes to hundreds of amperes. This range can be much wider in Electrical domain typically to several thousand amperes, especially in Power Grids. There are different methods to sense and measure current inside a circuit or a conductor. In…

IoT based Door Security Alarm controlled by Google Assistant IoT based Door Security Alarm controlled by Google Assistant

According to the FBI, home burglary occurs for every 13 seconds and 3 out of 4 homes in US will be broken into within the next 20 years says a 2017 Home burglary statistics report. In the world that is advancing rapidly with technology where cars could drive on their own and drones could capture your food, burglary should not be of much concern but the above statistics just…

Interfacing Hall Sensor with Raspberry Pi Interfacing Hall Sensor with Raspberry Pi

Hall sensors are sensors which produces an electrical signal at its output when it comes in contact with a magnetic field. The analog value of the electric signal at the output of the sensor is a function of the strength of the magnetic field. Hall sensors are everywhere these days, they are being used for different reasons and in all kind of devices from mobile phones…

DIY Brushless Motor Using Fidget Spinner DIY Brushless Motor Using Fidget Spinner

Just like the craze for Pokémon Go out of nowhere the fidget spinners got popular and it became more of trend to have one of these spinning between your fingers. But lately people (including me) eventually got bored of it and hence in this project let us bring in a new purpose for fidget spinner by building a simple motor using Fidget Spinner. With this circuit you will be…

Magnetic Door Alarm Circuit using Hall sensor Magnetic Door Alarm Circuit using Hall Sensor

Door alarm is a very common and useful device for security purpose. They are used to detect whether the Door is open or closed. Often we have seen some door alarm in the refrigerator that produced a different sound when they activate.  Door Alarm Projects are very popular among the Electronics students and hobbyists. We have also built many alarms based on various…

Interfacing Hall Effect Sensor with Arduino Interfacing Hall Effect Sensor with Arduino

Sensors have always been a vital component in any Project. These are the ones which convert the real real-time environmental data into digital/variable data so that it can be processed by electronics. There are many different types of sensors available in the market and you can select one based on your requirements. In this project we will learn how to use a Hall sensor a.k.…
