No rain check

Abstract The project goal is to create a prototype of outdoor space – the terrace equipped with a canopy, which automatically closes when it starts to rain. The lights turn on when the canopy closes and there is no natural light in the room. If a person enters inside, the lights turn on the party … Read more

TEMPERATURE FAN

CONCEPT The project focuses on Automating cooling based on room temperature. When the Room’s Temperature is above or equal to 25 degree Celsius the fans are automatically switched on to cool the room. BILL OF MATERIALS DIGITAL PROTOTYPE PROTOTYPE WORKING VIDEO

Aproaching Sensor Alarm

CONCEPT The concept of this setup is to notify when an object is approaching at different distant points LED lights will notify how close the object is by turning off individual light which are set at specific distance, as the object is closer to the desired point. As soon as it reaches the desired point … Read more

Interactive Lights 

Concept The aim of the project is to develop as lighting system that will be responsive and interactive to its surrounding people’s movements. And to make that happen, I have used the ultrasonic sensor as a proximity sensor to measure the distance of people and their movements. As a next step of this project, we … Read more

SMART HELMETS – SAFETY FIRST!

Safety Detectors on Helmets for Motorcyclists, Bikers and Skaters. The Smart Helmets aim at providing Safety to Motorcyclists, Bikers and even Skaters, to avoid crashing into a car or any object by detecting the distance of the object and light intensity from cars or other vehicles and alerting the rider with the help of buzzers … Read more

Matrix Chase

LED CHASE USING JOYSTICK LED CHASE The project intends to create a chase representing a snake and food chase game. Where we can direct the orientation using X and Y axis and increase or decrease the speed in which the animations makes the snake move by pushing or pulling in the same direction.

PLANT MONITOR

Federico Lacasia – Final Assignment22/23 MAA01 Introduction to Programming and Physical Computing CONCEPT The concept for this project is to create a tangible way of monitoring the light and moisture level of my plants.By using an LCD display, a light sensor, and a soil humidity sensor and connecting it to the arduino I was able … Read more

Solar tracking system

By Reza Ghafouri Concept The main idea of the project is designing a system that responses to the sun direction. A solar panel acts the most efficiently when its position changes according to the location of the sun and remains perpendicular to the source of light. In this project two light sensors (LDR) are situated … Read more

Security key

This project remakes simply key passcode for the door locks. You should type the correct password and the lock will open. If entered the wrong password 5 times,  it will give an Alarm sound. Then have to press the # button to reset the password. Main code

Locked door!

Concept This project aims to represent smart door locking system, using RFID control and a Servo motor. Process As the first step, RFID was connected to Arduino uno board through the breadboard, Added MFRC522 Library to Arduino and used Dumpinfo example from this library to detect the card’s UID. In next step, Buzzer and two … Read more

Water tank level sensor

Concept: Working principal of water level sensor: The working principle of the water level sensor is that when it is put into a certain depth in the liquid to be measured, the pressure on the sensor’s front surface is converted into the liquid level height. COMPONENTS REQUIRED: Schematic diagram: Code: Setup:
