Using An ESP8266 As A WiFi Enabled Universal Remote

“I think it’s a cool project that can be easily adapted or extended to whatever suits your needs. Check out the video for a demo and quick run through what’s involved in the project. The code, hardware and …

The EyeWriter 2.0

“The EyeWriter is a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus + custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis to draw using only their eyes. Since that first video, we’ve been hacking on and developing the …

Controlling a Servo with a PICAXE and an IR Sensor

“Learn how to combine a PICAXE, IR sensors, and a servo motor to create a device that responds to a moving stimulus. Spoilers: I hook it up to eyeballs that can follow a finger. PICAXEs are PIC microcontrollers that have …

Simple Infrared LED and Photodiode tester

“This is a simple Infrared LED and Photodiode tester using Arduino-compatible microcontroller. Purpose: I received a new batch of IR LEDs and IR photodiodes. I need to test them before signing them off. I have limited tools at home. So …

Measurement Of RPM Of DC Motor Using Arduino And IR LED

“What is our requirement? Here we want to measure the rpm of DC motor. So we have to measure how many times a particular point on the rotor undergoes a full rotation within a minute. So we have to use …

Turn any IR remote control to a wireless control ON/OFF switch

“While building a Toastmaster timer, I needed a switch to act as a Start/Stop switch. I first built it with a long flexible coax cable, but as time went on, it turned out to be impracticable: it could be …
