Arduino Projects

In this project, we’ll build a fun “Tug of War” game using an Arduino, a LED bar graph display, and buttons. The game mimics a classic tug-of-war, where two players compete to press their button rapidly to pull the “rope” (represented by a LED) to their side.

Parking in tight spaces can be challenging, especially with limited visibility. To help avoid collisions with obstacles, this project will show you how to build an Arduino Parking Sensor using an ultrasonic sensor and a buzzer. The ultrasonic sensor detects the distance to an obstacle, and the buzzer produces warning …

Start your DIY gaming experience with this “Arduino Flappy Bird Project with Dot Matrix.” This project merges the timeless appeal of Flappy Bird with the dynamic capabilities of Arduino and a Dot Matrix display. This article includes hardware setup, gameplay mechanics, and of course, the source code.

This project makes the “dots” on a dot matrix look like they are pebbles in a container. Tilt the device on one side and the dots fall toward that side. The same goes if the device tilts to the other side.

Introduction This week’s Arduino project is a classic one and ideal for beginners. Here I will be showing how to build a simple clap switch for an RGB LED strip. Basically, a microphone captures the sound of the clap and converts it to a voltage. The Arduino processes that voltage …

Flame sensors are found from the simplest gas stoves to huge industrial plants. There are different types of fire sensors — some cheap, some expensive. Yet they’re all built for one single purpose: detect fire. In this article, I will guide you on how to build a flame sensor with …

In general terms, a magnetometer measures the magnetism of objects or places. In fact, a compass is a type of magnetometer. This project demonstrates how to use the HMC5883L magnetometer IC as a compass with an Arduino microcontroller.

This project demonstrates how two Bluetooth modules connect with each other. I’ll be featuring DFRobot’s Input Shield V2 as the transmitter/controller and Seeed’s ShieldBot, which was seen on my Bluetooth RC Car project, will act as the receiver.

To kick off 2019, I would like to create a series of Arduino Robot projects that anyone can learn how to build. The first part of the series is the popular obstacle-avoiding Arduino robot.

This project demonstrates how to send data to ThingSpeak using a SIM800L breakout board. The data will be coming from a BMP085 atmospheric pressure sensor and will be using the SIM800L GPRS connection to publish this data to ThingSpeak.
