May 11, 2016Do you know which sensor is most widely used in electronic education? Maybe you have used it, that's ultrasonic range sensor HC-SR04. Millions of HC-SR04 have been sold over the last serveral years. The HC-SR04 is so popular because it's simple, useful and very cheap. Today I will show you three projects that you can finish easily with HC-SR04.

As a engineer, it’s lucky enough to work for a company that make up with a group of maker. Because we often encounter some problems in our life, our manger allow us to put our creativity into full play due to the opened atmosphere, we can build lots of funny applications to solve the problem.
Recently, we have recruited a number of new workmates, so there have something embarrassing happened, sometimes when I went to the toilet and found that both of the two toilets are occupied, once I complain to kevin about it, then he said: If there is a kind of indicator LED like an airplane toilet lights, so we could know whether the toilet be used. Good idea! I praised him: “hey! Boy! You are really a genius! ” OK, now we have prepared everything, let think about that if you want to achieve remote control, what we need to do? The first role is the most popular platform board -ESP8266, as it happens, we have get some ESP8266 IOT Board just recently, it can achieve wireless control easily, and the most important thing is it cheap enough.
The main function of the project is when the toilet was using, the indicator will show the state of the toilets remotely, just like the toilet indicator in the plane.

Full Home Automation System with Azure and Voice Assistance
We all know how Home Automation has been integrated into our day to day lives - from controlling window panes to making a secure house free from theft. I plan on going even a step forward by integrating simple sensors that I have lying around in my house and make a secure system that not only detects any activity inside the house but also informs the person of impending fire hazards and thefts. All of this will be sensed via the Raspberry Pi 2 and and sent to the user via a mobile app implementing Microsoft Azure services.

The DIY dream
Raspberry Pi — a tiny, stripped-down $35 computer — hit the market in 2011 with the intention of helping promote basic computer science skills in schools. As of early 2015, 4.5 million of them had been sold and a second generation, the Raspberry Pi 2, has been introduced.
It has become the DIY gadget-maker's go-to device. Tinkerers, hobbyists, educators and students — basically anyone who likes to build things — have taken to the Internet with project after project utilizing the Raspberry Pi.
The little computer has controlled robots, reached the upper atmosphere in a weather balloon and become the building block for almost any gadget the mind could dream up. With all of the builds out there, it can be overwhelming, but don't worry, we've done the hard work for you. Here are 20 of the best Raspberry Pi projects on the Web.

KeyDuino - The quick & easy way to build NFC enabled things. The KeyDuino development board is Arduino compatible hardware and software.Since the KeyDuino is based on the Arduino Leonardo (ATMEGA32U4) anything that runs on an Arduino Leonardo will also run on a KeyDuino and this means whatever shield (with a few exceptions) work with an Arduino will also work with KeyDuino.
