Here we show a little Theremin module which plugs onto a Arduino Board that gives out the tune to a speaker or puts out the tune as control signal like MIDI, Servo etc. We were using this device not only as a musical instrument, various kinds of proximity....

Ok, its been a while since I did much more than think about my micromouse, but over the last week or so I actually did some work` on the sensor design First off this is all theoretical, I need some bits an pieces before I can test this outside of simulation.....

The sensors are a thin strip of piezoelectric material with a rivet in the end acting as a weight. When there is a vibration, the weight moves, stressing the piezo material that produces a spike in voltage. This voltage that is created may be up to 90V. We....

The heart of the circuit consists of the Arduino microprocessor which is indicated by the header pins on the left of the circuit schematic shown on the right (click to open in new window). Two of the analog inputs (0 and 1) are connected to the emitter sides....

The ADXL362 is an ultralow power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer that consumes less than 2 ?A at a 100 Hz output data rate and 270 nA when in motion triggered wake-up mode. Unlike accelerometers that use power duty cycling to achieve low power consumption, the....

With the easy availability of inexpensive digital multimeters, and integrated circuit temperature sensors, it is now very easy to build a sensitive and accurate digital thermometer that can be used for many experiments around the house or in the amateur....

The Micromag3 is a 3-axis magnetometer that measures the strength of magnetic fields in 3 directions. It can measure magnetic fields that are approximately the same strength as the Earth`s magnetic field. Common applications include orientation sensing and....

The TPA2011D1 is a 3. 2-W high efficiency filter-free class-D Audio Power Amplifier (class-D amp) in a 1, 21 mm G— 1, 16 mm wafer chip scale package (WCSP) that requires only three external components. The TPA2011D1 is a 3. 2-W high efficiency filter-free....

This is a low-current temperature sensors with a single-wire output. The number of pins that needed to interface with a microprocessor is minimized by this....

A simple thermometer built with operational amplifiers and a normal or protective diode such as 1N4148, instead of the temperature sensor can be made using electronic diagram below. A constant reference voltage is applied to the noninverting input of....

Laser Command is a game which I build using a 8x8 matrix LED and an Arduino Mini. This game was developed as a "sample" class project in S10-05833 Gadgets, Sensors and Activity Recognition in HCI. The class is taught by Scott Hudson at Carnegie Mellon....

The Allegro ACS75x family of Current Sensors provides economical and precise solutions for current sensing in industrial, automotive, commercial, and Communications systems. The device package allows for easy implementation by the customer. Typical....

Making a light-dimming control system for a 240V heat lamp dissipating around 250W. I need to adjust the heat output on the lamp by control from a microprocessor. I`m developing on an 8051-based SoC with RF circuitry and some sensors and actuators. Basically....

A very simple low cost water level indicator circuit can be designed using this schematic circuit. This water level indicator is based on a simple CMOS IC CD4066 and indicates the amount of water present in the overhead tank and also gives an alarm when the....

The UTC A6966 is designed for 5 LED level meter driver in 9 lead SIP package. It consists of one input Amplifier and five Comparators for LED level indication. By LianShun Electronics Co. , Ltd ..

This document has several purposes, and a primary one is to record what I have learned about the means that a Scooba robot uses to detect: a) the presence of an acceptable cleaning solution being delivered to its pump, and b) the excess presence of used....

On this project we will control anAVR microcontroller (MCU) via Visual Basic 6. The applications of this circuit is countless. You can make, anything you want, that needs control from a Personal Computer (PC)or from anycircuit collects data from sensors.....

In this project we`ll be using the ATMEGA16 @16MHz. But as every project. it must have something special, something to be able to look different from other. But what I `ve seen many robots with photosensors (photovore, photophobe), many linefollowers, many....
