When you think of Arduino projects, your mind likely goes straight to RFID door locks, weather sensors, or automated plant watering systems. While these are undeniably pretty cool projects, you ...

Making an Arduino-powered automatic trash bin that opens and closes the lid for you is a great way to get started with electronics and sensors. If you're looking to make your garbage can even ...

This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, posi… ...

Ever thought of using touch sensors on your projects but didn’t because it would be too much work? [Paul Stoffregen] proves that it can be pretty easy if you use the CapSense library for Arduino ...

An Arduino can be used to test the life of any battery with less than 5 volts, Boxall says. So, for a quick way to see how much juice your AAA, AA, C, or D batteries have left, build this Arduino ...

Arduino is able to interpret signals from a variety of sensors. By placing a unit equipped with an ADXL345, an accelerometer ...

For the example project in this article, we'll be using an all-in-one Arduino Experimentation Kit from Oomlout for one simple reason: a specially-designed perspex workspace holds both an official ...

This is a very simple arduino project where a led is turned on by setting the pin 13 as output, then write it with a high value, in our case that means that pin 13 will deliver 5 volts. Advertisement ...

Unlike other prototyping systems, the Arduino is designed to be easy to pick up and use - and it really is, with a single USB connection providing power and data connectivity to a host PC.
