Arduino: Light Indicator with multi-LED bar graph and light sensor.
October 25, 2012
This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements a light indicator with the help of an external sensor (photoresistor) for the recognition of light, and a bar graph of many LEDs used as a rating indicator. Furthermore, if the indicator reaches the last rating which indicates that there is “perfect” light (the maximum light that the sensor can identify) then it plays a melody with a piezo speaker located in the system.
Arduino: Alarm clock with light sensor and ON / OFF buttons.
October 23, 2012
This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements a simple alarm clock using a light sensor, a piezo speaker, two buttons for functions such as ON, OFF and an LED as the function indicator. When the alarm is in OFF state, then it carries no real operation (just turns off the function indicator), and when in ON state, then it turns on the function indicator and examines whether there is sufficient ambient light (via the light sensor) to produces a musical tune with piezo speaker. This process is repeated continuously if there is sufficient light until the button OFF is pressed.

Arduino: Embedded Arduino Web Controller.
October 22, 2012
This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements an Arduino Web Controller. Basically, the Arduino works as a network device that can be configured either locally or remotely by a special WEB interface. This technology is not new as it exists in other network devices. For example, routers or network printers are configured through a WEB interface.
This project refers to an Arduino sketch which has the capability to send measurements collected by a light sensor to an account at Twitter to be seen by many through the World Wide Web.
This project refers to an Arduino sketch which with the help of a relay (electromechanical switch) and a light sensor can drive an external device (e.g. a household lamp, a car alarm, a home air conditioner). More specifically, the Arduino collects samples from a light sensor at a specific rate and calculates the mean of samples for best accuracy. Then, if the average exceeds a threshold limit, it will activate the device via the relay. Also, the opposite happens where, if the average sensor value drops below the limit mentioned, the device is turned off.
This project refers to an Arduino sketch which is used to produce animations with more than one LED. You can place several LEDs in a row or in any order you wish and enjoy the flow of traffic. Furthermore, if you wish to change the animation you can choose the next in line by pressing a special button. One such application might remind you of the Christmas lights.

There is the MQ-3 sensor in the system to detect alcohol. A suitable multi-LED bar graph (which is driven by a 8-bit shift register 74HC595) is used as an indicator rating the alcohol content. If the alcohol content is high, then a tune is produced through a suitable piezo speaker. Finally, there are two buttons in the system for functions such as ON, OFF and a LED which is the operation indicator.

This project refers to an Arduino sketch which uses an LCD display (as output device) with in-built elementary Keypad (as input device) to display information from sensors. In this project, there are temperature, light and motion sensors. If we want to check the value of one of the sensors, we can do it via the keypad onto the LCD screen. We can choose the sensor of interest using the keys UP and DOWN.
Arduino: True Random Number Generator.
August 14, 2010
This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements a true random number generator with the help of an audio sensor. The sensor measures the sound volume in the nearby environment. The Arduino acts as a network device with an appropriate WEB interface in it from which we can access the random numbers. This technology is not new as it exists in other network devices. For example, routers or network printers have a WEB interface.
The WEB interface is installed in the Arduino itself and is supported with the help of a simple but quite progressive web server (which is also located within the Arduino). The Arduino is connected to the Internet with a special Ethernet card (Ethernet Shield). The Ethernet card is assigned with a static IP (because the Arduino in this case does not work as a client but as a server since the web server is executed there at port 80).
To enable the sound sensor to collect really random values as regards the volume of sound in the environment, it helps to place it in a noisy room or near a radio.
This project refers to an Arduino sketch which with the help of a relay (electromechanical switch) and the VRBot system can drive an external device (eg. a household lamp, a car alarm, a home air conditioner etc.) with voice commands. The system VRBot is properly trained with voice messages and then performs voice recognition.
More specifically, the Arduino detects acoustic sounds and tries to recognize them through the system VRBot. Finally, if acceptable voice messages are identified, the Arduino manages them for the use of the device driven with the help of the relay.
Arduino: Remote Morse Code Web Encoder.
July 23, 2010
This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements an online Morse Code web encoder. The Morse Code is until now a global communication system. However, it is now rarely used (it has been previously extensively used in the Navy and the Army in general). In this project, the Arduino works as a server, which remote clients can be connected to with the help of TCP sockets and send occasional messages on a regular alphanumeric form.
For example: “SOS! USA NAVY (12/02/1920, 23:00)”
This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements a motion detector using a passive infrared sensor (PIR), a piezo speaker, two switches for functions such as ON, OFF and an LED as function indicator. When the detector is in OFF state then it performs no real function (just turns off the function indicator), and when in ON state, then the program turns on the function indicator and checks whether there is motion (the detection range of the detector is about 6 feet) in the area (via the sensor PIR) to produce a tune with piezo speaker. This process is repeated continuously as long as there is movement and until the switch OFF is pressed.
This project refers to an Arduino sketch which allows the rotation of three dimensional shapes using appropriate sensors. Essentially, the Arduino collects values from the sensors and corresponds them to the [0, 360] range (rotation angle). Every time we get a pair of values (X, Y) for the rotation of the shape, the pair is sent over the USB serial port to the PC.
The PC runs a Python script which produces three-dimensional shapes with OpenGL. Also, the script obtains the pairs via the USB serial port and renews the current shape of the screen. For performance reasons, the three-dimensional shape is renewed only when there are changes in the pair (X, Y).
Finally, you should know that to run the Python script properly the Arduino should already be running and input sensors should have been calibrated regarding their edges. The calibration is performed automatically in the first 15 seconds (use two potentiometers as an example for both input sensors).
This project refers to an Arduino sketch which implements a POV (Persistence Of Vision) case for the representation of text messages which can contain the visible characters of the character set ASCII.

This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements a simple fire alarm using a temperature sensor, a piezo speaker and one LED as indicator for deaf-mute cases. The alarm checks every second if there is enough room temperature (via the temperature sensor). If there is enough temperature to consider it a fire burning in that place, then the alarm produces a musical tune with the piezo speaker and lights the LED indicator. Otherwise, both the speaker and the LED indicator remain in state OFF.

This project refers to an Arduino sketch which with the help of an external potentiometer (input device) can move the position of a servo motor (output device) clockwise or counterclockwise. The system also features two LEDs which – each time the value of the potentiometer changes – change their brightness in such a way that it is obvious in which side of the servo motor are.
For example, when the potentiometer is in the extreme left position then the left LED is lit 100% while the right one 0% (or vice versa). Finally, when the sketch starts running, it calibrates first the potentiometer.
