FM radio transmitters and receivers are one of the projects that fascinated a lot of people and drove them to become makers. The lure of being able to deploy your own radio station, or build your own surveillance(-like) devices was what encouraged most of us to build our first fm...

On previous tutorials on our website, we have covered the use of several displays, LCDs, and TFTs, with diverse Arduino boards. From Nokia 5110 LCD display to different types of OLEDs, the reason for the tutorials has been to ensure that, as a reader, you know how to use many of the most...

In the last tutorial, we examined How to connect your IoT devices to the Arduino IoT Cloud, and we saw how to send and receive data, from and to the cloud. With multiple cloud solutions available for IoT devices, there might be a need for you to work with one not as traditional as the...

This Arduino Nano Shield consists of a Light sensor, a Magnetic field sensor, and Temperature sensor. The shield can be used to develop various projects required light sensing, magnetic field sensing, and temperature sensing. All sensors provide analog voltage outputs, so each output...

This project is about an open-source, USB based, 10 digit seven segment display unit. This unit is specifically designed to work with POS systems and banking applications. Initially, this system is developed to work with PC based POS systems, and later it was modified to work with...

This Li-Po/Li-ion Arduino charger shield is mainly designed to power up the Arduino from single 3.6V Li-Po battery. Li-Ion and Li-Pol Charger/ DC-DC Boost converter Arduino shield provides 6.5V/400mA from single Lithium Polymer battery. The Arduino shield is equipped with BQ21040...

We have built quite a number of weather stations in several past tutorials, with each one differing from the other by the use of a different sensor, different display, etc. Today, we are going to build another weather monitoring station using the BME280 Temp and humidity sensor from...

This project generates 8 different LED-lighting patterns (Visual Effects) and is based on PIC16F886. The project demonstrates different chasing effects being generated using 20 SMD LEDs and  speed of LED-lighting moving is adjustable with the help of the on board trimmer...
