November 05, 2016Temperature, humidity, and ambient pressure are key environmental parameters that can be measured at once using Bosch's fully integrated BME280 environmental sensor. This article describes how to read the environmental data from BME280 and real time data from DS1307 using Arduino and display the data on a 16×32 RGB matrix panel.

November 04, 2016In my impression, makers are great group full of creativity,thoughts and action. And I also believe that every maker has an exquisite heart, showing unique love for music. So many of them have combined creation with music to make projects. Have you ever tried some? Let's see. Homemade Electronic Drum kit with Arduino Mega2560 For this project you could save much money to get an electronic drum kit at home with an Arduino mega2560 or a crowduino mega2560, first you need to prepare for these materials like wood,usb cables, EVA rubber, sensors, resistors,screws and the like. Then you could

October 25, 2016LEDS are so popular among our life that you could see them almost everywhere. And this product is inexpensive but very helpful. Today I wanna introduce following projects about leds which are really fascinating and distinctive. JolliCube (8x8x8 LED Cube) With MD_Cubo Library This is a beautiful led cube ! First of all, you need to design electronic control circuit and arrange leds for your cube. Next, you can build the jigs. For the assembly part, you can build 8 layers of 8×8 led matrix and then complete the led cube with control circuit. jolliCube - 8x8x8 LED Cube Assembly Part

Solar energy is so powerful that we make full use of this power almost everywhere like commercial use, agriculture, schools, government and residential solar power systems throughout the country. Besides nowadays many enthusiastic makers utilize even small solar panels to create various applied and awesome applications which are really an environmentally friendly,useful and practical things for us.
I found that there are plenty of helpful projects about the use of solar panels so here I selected some

September 19, 2016Sensors are widely used in our day-to-day life to detect events or changes in its environment and then provide a corresponding output. Besides sensors share abundant applications including manufacturing and machinery, airplanes and aerospace, cars, medicine,robotics and so on. To be specific, today I wanna introduce arduino projects on light sensor and color sensor which could be seen every here and there in scientific applications and in everyday consumer products. Nowadays you can see applications on light sensor like a garage door opener,a burglary alarm, TVs,computers and wireless phones etc. Arduino Sunflower - an Electronic Sundancer This project

September 12, 2016An analog temperature sensor is a chip using a solid-state technique to determine the temperature and tell you what the ambient temperature is ! By precisely amplifying the voltage change, it is easy to generate an analog signal that is directly proportional to temperature. How to Set Up the DHT11 Humidity and Temperature Sensor on an Arduino To this project, you could get how the DHT11 measures humidity and how to connect the DHT11 to the Arduino and give you some example code so you can use the DHT11 in your own projects.

Robot, depended by many areas, has already taken up rather essential places to human beings for its great difference. Have you ever tried to make a robot with useful tutorials? And here I just gonna share you two nice and careful projects. I wish they could help you make a difference too. Build a 4WD Arduino Robot With a 4WD Mobile Platform for Arduino Smart Robot Car, we could build a four-wheeled robot that can drive around and avoid obstacles. To begin with, you are supposed to attach the motors and the H bridge to the lower part of the chassis. First, attach the four metal brackets to each motor using two long bolts and two nuts. The next step is to secure the H bridge to the chassis and then you can start wiring up the power supply. Now that you have -
September 05, 2016NFC or Near Field Communication, a standard-based wireless connectivity technology, enables making transactions, exchanging digital content or connecting electronic devices with a simple touch. And it is compatible with hundreds of millions of smart phones, business cards and readers already deployed worldwide. Moreover, NFC is applied widely by quite a few areas for medical & health care and safety & security and others. For example, for medical & health care, it could be applied to medical,chemical and biological test labs, medication identification,equipment usage tracking and pharmaceutical research tracking and so on. For safety & security, it shares applications of tool drawers,home entries,car locks and office

September 02, 2016Do you miss the gyro toys we love playing when we are young? Now this toy idea have changed to large new world with plenty of great inventions like the unmanned aerial vehicles. The gyroscope shares a variety of categories and it could be divided to sensing gyroscope and indicating gyroscope from its function. The sensing gyroscope is mainly applied to the flying automatic control system for movement control of flying objects while the indicating gyroscope is mainly used in driving and pilot meter to indicate directions. Follows please enjoy two videos, you could get more different about gyroscope from the videos. Tim Peake demonstrates gyroscope - BBC News
