Advanced EMF Detector for Arduino What is an EMF detector? An EMF detector lets you detect electro magnetic fields. In some terms, it lets you detect electrical fields which are given off by people, electronics and other objects. It is frequently used in ghost hunting. Here are some great example videos: South Coast Paranoral Dorset…
After recently getting an Arduino Yun from Newark Canada, I decided to put together a fun build video for IoT fans out there! This video will show you how to build your own Arduino Tweet Box using an Adruino Yun and an EMIC2. For fun, I decided to add a 2 line LCD as well…
Using Buttons and Switches with an Arduino Welcome to the fourth instalment of the working with Arduino series! So far we have covered everything from blinky lights, to calculating resistors, to working with graphic displays! The majority of these have been output based components (what you see). In this article, we will cover input based…
In a previous article, I discussed how to create a Nokia 5110 LCD Display with a TMP36 sensor. Today I will cover this in more detail, with a bit more detail around the how! Parts In this article, I’m just going to list the parts I used. Mini breadboard – $3 China | $4 Sparkfun…
What if you were away from home for a few weeks and wanted to control your lights? Or you wanted to be able to remotely access a temperature sensor at home? There are a couple of ways to do this including Wi-Fi and GSM modules. Ethernet or Bluetooth shields, Or all in one units such…
I saw a recent discussion on how difficult it would be to create a glowing logo for a popular smartphone. And i thought to myself, what a great idea for a DIY project! Here i will show you how to build a simple glowing logo for your favourite product, brand, or even person using an…
This short tutorial will show you how to get started using multicoloured LED’s with Arduino. Specifically common anode and common cathode and to control the red, blue and green separately. This means multicoloured blinky lights! And later, you will be able to see a sample of how to control this with Wi-Fi.
If you have followed our articles so far on how the pins work on an Arduino, how to calculate resistor sizes, and how to use the Arduino IDE – it’s time to take the first plunge into LED’s and get some blinky lights going!
Have you ever hooked something up to power … and noticed it either smoking or a strange pop followed by silence or a broken device? The most common cause is too high of a voltage. Every component on your electronic devices can only handle voltages up to a certain point. I’m going to show you…
For users brand new to Arduino, the pin system can be a little bit confusing. So I thought covering them in a very high level detail may help before we get too far. By the end of this tutorial set, you will be able to use input and output on an Arduino. And you should…
