Various projects concerning single board computers within the Arduino platform of technologies appear here to explore various types of applications or use-cases. Both hardware and software topics that apply to early and more recent iterations of the platform get further attention with posts here that indicate utility and functions have a meaningful purpose.
Flame Detection with Sound Alert & Warning Light
An Arduino Nano is set up in this project to run a flame detection sensor as a small fire alarm system. The system uses a small active buzzer (muted) and ... Read More
Arduino Clone Bootloader Setup & Programming
Arduino modules (in this case an Arduino Nano 3.0) may come from China without the hardware initialized with a suitable bootloader. Necessary for project work and programming, a bootloader configuration ... Read More
DC Motor with Variable Speed Control by Joystick
This project makes use of a thumb joystick to control the direction of shaft rotation on a DC motor. The joystick also controls the rotational speed of the motor shaft ... Read More
Servo Motors with Two-Axis Joystick Control
This project makes use of two servos (Tiankongrc MG995), servo mounting brackets a 2-axis thumb joystick, an active buzzer, and an Arduino Uno R3. To operate the two servos together ... Read More
Stepper Motor with Direction Control & Reversal
This project involved a 5VDC stepper motor and its corresponding ULN2003 driver assembly. Stepper motors are unique from servos or DC motors because they are very precise, have a full ... Read More
Tilt Switch with LED Indicator and Fan Interrupt
This project was about making a tilt sense system that involves a motor or fan. The system is also programmed and set up with a tip sense light. It simulates ... Read More
Light Sensor Control of Servo with Photoresistor
This project makes use of a photoresistor as a light sensor to control the movement of a servo motor's shaft. The change of position in the servo motor's output shaft ... Read More
Color and Light Control via Infrared Sensor
This project runs with an IR sensor that reads a remote control's Hexadecimal data bursts as its buttons are selected. Each button represents a function that becomes executed programmatically within ... Read More
DC Motor Control via Infrared Sensor & Remote
This project accomplishes a few objectives. First, the use of a KY-022 Infrared sensor is incorporated for general familiarity. Second, the IR remote control emits HEX codes for each button ... Read More
