Arduino Robot Catapult

“What I wanted to accomplish is a fully automated, easy to use, robotic catapult. To add some more challenge I wanted the catapult to have an ‘auto-load’ feature, which means that there should be a magazine and loading mechanics. As …

Arduino “Blink To Talk” using Charlieplexing

“This project can be classified as an AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication) device, which are used as a means of communication for those suffering from debilitating diseases like ALS and the like, that result in complete paralysis and near-total loss …

Backyard Beehives: The Electric Hive

“David Ammons, a research biologist and hobbyist beekeeper, and myself, Graham Toal - computer programmer and Maker - are working on a project to add electronic instrumentation to beehives. What you’re looking at here is a raspberry pi with a video …

Arduino Mouse Trap

“For this Challenge, I created an Arduino controlled Mouse Trap to capture any unwanted pests that may wander into your space. The project is complete but I have one more addition that I will try to make. More about this …

Control TV With Any Phone (Even phones without IR blaster)

“Do you want to control your TV and several other gadgets that are IR controlled? Ya but my phone doesn’t support it because it doesn’t have an IR blaster.Don’t worry here a gadget that gives IR …

Another Prelude to Automation - Cloning a Remote

“A few days ago, I published an IBLE on how to hack a remote. At the time, my mind was fixated on getting a Home Automation Project kicked off as soon as possible, and I decided to take the route …

Be Lazy With TV Remote

“This project is used to switch the electrical appliances remotely using TV remote. It uses philips RC5 protocol based remote. The micro controller used is of Atmel i.e. at89c2051 of 8051 type. I have used triacs instead of relays …

Obstacle detector using Infrared

Today we will build a circuit that detects the interruption of an infrared beam allowing an alarm to be created. The LM358 IC has two comparators. Pin 3 which is the non-inverted end of the voltage comparator is connected to …

TIC-TAC TV Remote Jammer

“That moment you take your eyes off the TV remote for just a second, because of which it falls into the hands of your annoying sibling. Yes, fighting for control over the TV is a daily struggle for many. But …

Infrared Detector

In today’s circuit we will build an infrared detector. Additionally we will build a circuit to detect the type of frequency and to which manufacturer the codes belong. The latter uses an Arduino and a library to obtain this …
