Auto Intensity Control of Street Lights

Street lights are controlled manually in olden days. These days automation of street lights has emerged. But one can observe that there is no need of high intensity in peak hours i.e. when there is no traffic and even in early mornings. By reducing the intensity in these times, energy can be saved...

Car Parking Guard Circuit Using Infrared Sensor

Introduction: While parking the car the driver should be more careful because he cannot see the back of the car while parking or taking reverse, if there is any obstacle and ran over it might be  get damage to the car. Our project will help the person in the driving seat and give alarm if...

Obstacle Avoiding Robot using Arduino

Robotics is an interesting and fast growing field. Being a branch of engineering, the applications of robotics are increasing with the advancement of technology. The concept of Mobile Robot is fast evolving and the number of mobile robots and their complexities are increasing with different applications. There...

Arduino Alarm Clock

In this project, we designed an Arduino based Real Time Clock with alarm. A Real Time Clock or RTC is a battery powered clock that measures time even when there is no external power or the microcontroller is reprogrammed. An RTC displays clock and calendar with all timekeeping functions. The battery,...

Portable Ultrasonic Range Meter

Sound is a phenomena that is a result of vibration of materials. Sound is characterized as a mechanical wave that carries mechanical energy. For the transmission of this energy between transmitter and receiver, presence of a medium is necessary. The medium can be solids, liquids or gases....

Arduino LED Matrix

An LED matrix is a two dimensional array of LEDs that can be used to display symbols, characters or even images. Based on the orientation of the LEDs in the matrix, there can be two types of LED matrices.They are Common Row Anode and Common Row Cathode. LED matrix modules are one of the commonly used...

Rotary Encoder With Arduino

A Rotary Encoder is an electromechanical device that converts angular movement of the shaft to analog or digital code. Rotary Encoders can be found in radio equipment like amateur radio or hand held, where non-stop or continuous 3600 rotation is required for tuning to right frequency. In...

Frequency Counter Using Arduino

Frequency Counter, as the name indicates, is an electronic device or component, which is used to measure the frequency of a signal. In case of a repetitive electronic signal, a frequency counter measures the number of pulses in that signal. We generally use an oscilloscope to depict the signal, calculate...

Arduino Traffic Light Controller

The use of personal vehicles is very common now a days and a result, the number of vehicles on the roads are exponentially increasing. Roads without any supervision or guidance can lead in to traffic congestions and accidents. Traffic Lights or Traffic Signals are signalling devices that are used...

Build a Simple Arduino Calculator

A Calculator is a device that is used to perform simple arithmetic operations to complex mathematical calculations. The rise of calculators can be seen from devices like Abacus to credit card sized complex electronic solid state devices in the modern day usage. Apart from small calculators, which...

Arduino Mail Notifier

Physical Mail or Post is a method of transporting documents, packages, cards, parcels and letters. This service is usually done by a postal service system. Mail is usually delivered by mail man post man to our homes. We get important documents like bills, invitations, bank statements etc. in mail. If...

Arduino Home Automation Using RF

Home automation is one of in demand concepts in today’s world. Hobbyists do simple automation systems with the components readily available.

Touch Dimmer Switch Circuit using Arduino

A Touch Dimmer Switch Circuit is a simple project, where the dimmer action is achieved with the help of a Touch Sensor. While a regular switch is used to simply turn ON or OFF a light, a Dimmer (or Dimmer Switch) will allow us to control the brightness of the light. Without a Dimmer Switch, the light...

Arduino Based Color Detector

A Color Sensor, as the name suggests, is a device that senses or detects colors. A color sensor will use an external means of emitting light (like an array of white LEDs) and then analyse the reflected light from the object in order to determine its color. Color sensors will give an accurate color...

Use 5v Relay Arduino

Arduino is a microcontroller based prototyping board that runs on small DC power. A Relay is a device that helps microcontrollers (or microcontroller based boards) like Arduino to switch on or off different household appliances like motors, lights, water heaters, television and fans etc. Today, Arduino...

Arduino based Wireless Doorbell

Traditional Doorbells are wired devices and are usually fixed at one place. They are becoming obsolete because of these reasons and are gradually being replace by advanced Wireless Doorbell Devices. With a wireless doorbell, the position of the switch and the bell is not fixed. We can place it anywhere...
