TV Remote Control based on Head Movements

“A low cost, open-source, universal-like remote control system that translates the user’s head poses into commands to electronic devices. The project presents a proposal of an open-source, low cost universal remote control system that translates user’s head poses …

DIY Motion-Activated Sink: How to Make an IR-Controlled Tap

“Despite sinks being critical to hygiene, manual taps are still pretty nasty and so newer “automatic” sinks are used in many public spaces. In this DIY Hacking project, we will create a simple IR water dispenser!”

Arduino Based TV Remote Project

“A couple years ago my TV remote broke. I had used one of those universal remote phone apps as an alternative for a while, but that just got really frustrating. Without the tactile feel of buttons it was too easy …

Sigfox Forest Fire Detector

“How to prevent forest from burning? A small Sigfox signal can prevent natural disasters. We will use an Arduino MKRFOX + a flame detector. How to prevent forest from burning? A small Sigfox signal can prevent this natural disaster. In this …

Web-based universal remote under $4, probably

“Don’t buy a universal remote, make one. It’s cheaper, funner, universal-er, kind of, and you get to learn the ESP8266, kind of. If you have a hungry toddler like I do, you might also be missing some of …

Clemson Tiger Paw Decoration Back-lit With WS2812 LED Strips

“Clemson’s makerspace in the Watt’s center has a laser cutter, and I wanted to put it to good use. I thought making a back-lit tiger paw would be cool, but I also wanted to do something with edge-lit …

Smart Parking Using Arduino Uno

“Imagine a parking lot with 100 parking spaces, what you donowadays is physically check the status(vacant/Busy) of each and every parking space resulting to loss of fuel as well as time. But what if I provide you with …

MyGlobe: Drawing 3D Images in Thin Air

“Exploiting the persistence of vision quirk of the human eye, the myGlobe project uses a single strip of 25 LEDs to produce a glowing orb of light that can display any image. To achieve this, we spin the myRIO controller …

Arduino Mini Shields Construction

“Presented Here are the Arduino Mini Shields. These Shields are very easy and fun to make. Arduino shields are very useful for the Arduino to help you out in some very common projects like IR Communication, Relay Controlling, etc. This …

The Ultimate Universal IoT Solution for IR Remotes

“Last year, I published an Instructable which was aimed to replace all IR Remotes with a new device - only the device could hold 4 codes and only accessible through iOS devices. In an effort to help solve this problem, I …
