While IoT is awesome, there are situations where we do not necessarily want to connect the devices to the internet but connect them together. It could be a need for a local network of sensors to monitor certain parameters on a farm for instance. This kind of project will involve a base...

This is another Arduino Nano shield which can drive a Brushed DC Motor in both directions with PWM signal for speed control and it also includes current trip feature. Project is based on DRV8870 IC which can handle current up to 3.6Amps, The shield also includes an IR sensor and...

This board provides 12V/200mA DC and 1.2V to 6V/500mA DC Adjustable output with input of 7.4V 2x LiPO batteries.  The board is a step up DC-DC Convert based on CS5171 and LM317 adjustable regulator. The Step up DC-DC converter provides 12V DC from 7.4V ( 2x LiPO batteries) and LM317...

Electronics has transited from a work meant for well-trained engineers to something which is dabbled into by people in other fields especially in Arts and related fields. The introduction of platforms like Arduino (which was created for reasons like this), has been one of the main...

Voltage is one of the fundamental values when dealing with electronics. It determines the amount and direction of current flow and represents the potential (electric charge) difference between two points, thus it is somewhat impossible to build or troubleshoot electronics circuits without...

2 Channel Relay Shield for Arduino UNO is a simple and convenient way to interface 2 relays for switching applications in your project. The board has been designed using large current relay that can handle a load up to 30Amps. Relay circuit is optically isolated to prevent any kind of...

Fingerprint sensing is one of those technologies in science fiction movies that fascinated most of us as kids. Today, they are everywhere and asides from existing in everyday devices with huge electronics complexity, like mobile phones, they are also available in tiny modules to give...

Visualizing data when working with the Arduino is something we all have had to do using third party/ self-developed software in the past. It was thus, it is really interesting when the Arduino team decided to change that recently. Today, we are going to take a look at their solution,...
