Lucas Reed @ instructables.com has build a proximity alarm using Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor from Parallax. If a nearby object is approaching then the alarm will sound and an RGB LED will light up. He writes: An ultrasonic rangefinder and Arduino microcontroller will check for...

This tutorial shows how to interface DC motors using L293D motor driver IC and Arduino. Controlling DC motors with Arduino and L293 -...

Espressif announced ESP8285 a Wi-Fi chip for wearable devices on May,2016. Some described this chip as the killer of ESP8266, that is because ESP8285 includes an embedded 1 MByte flash memory. This means smaller area in PCB is needed to include your Wifi chip while the old ESP8266 needed...

This tutorial is going to teach you the basics on using OLED 0.96inch LCD128x64 with Arduino. OLED 0.96 inch is a monochrome graphic display module with a built-in 0.96 inch, 128X64 high-resolution display. OLED 0.96inch is able to work despite the absence of backlight. In a dark...

Florian Wolters made his own version of MMDVM adapter: During experiments with digital voice mode in hamradio I discovered a nice project describing an adapter for D-Star, DMR and other digital modes based on an Arduino Due and a little PCB to be put on top. This unit is called the...

In this Instructable, you will learn how easy it is to send and receive SMS messages over GSM with Arduino. One of the essential elements of building IoT project is the ability to connect devices. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are good low cost choices, but they work only at close ranges, or...

This tutorial is going to teach you some basics on using Stepper Motor while interfacing with Arduino and Stepper Motor Driver. Bipolar Stepper Motor is DC motor that move in discrete steps. It has multiple coils that are organized in groups called "phases". By energizing each phase...

Have an old cell phone laying around? Don’t know what to do with it? What if I told you that you could turn that old cell phone into a smartwatch! What I’d like to do for this crazy/ambitions project is turn an old cell phone into a smartwatch. So obviously an old cell phone is...
