IntroThere are various systems of fiber optic sensors (sensing mostly non-electric parameters, like temperature, mechanical strain or pressure), many of them using fiber only as data medium, while the active part is electronic or mechanical based.The...
The ArduIMU V4 is based on an ATmega128RFA1 and is 100% compatible with theArduino Framework. What's on the new ArduIMU V4?Of course, we included an FTDI chip (USB UART, FT230XQ) on the ArduIMU V4 board so the communication with the host computer can...
The idea...If you're like me...you might need to make one or two boards quickly every once in a while.. and you don't care for the toner transfer method or any derivative... The Reason...I like this method, it's quick, easy, clean, gets good results...
Phase 1 - Initial System Design The system will consist of a number of sensors deployed in the environment to measure such things as temperature, ph, ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, dissolved oxygen, etc as such items are deemed necessary to successfully...

The challenge is to design and build a wearable accessory that could be useful for the people in their activities. The device would facilitate their work through a natural interface so they can do different things without using their hands. Thanks to...
Steps: I followed the Adafruit tutorials lessons 1,2,3,6 and 7. https://learn.adafruit.com/category/learn-raspberry-pi How about, buy your hardware like I did, from AdaFruit to say thank you.To make the headless system wake up with WiFi working, I modified...
IntroductionAs mentioned in my "Motivation for the project" log entry, there are already several projects that measure distance to objects for blind people using Ultrasonic sensors, but as an experienced robotics engineer, I believe ultrasonic sensors...
In the world of professional agriculture, a lot of focus has been put on large, incredibly expensive machines that work in huge open fields where just one crop is grown. Whilst this is incredibly efficient and produces very cheap food, it's not good...
WHY I wanted to make this because my son is probably going to shine whatever torch he can find in his eyes and my understanding is that shorter wavelengths in the blue and UV region can damage your eyes if too much enters your eye. As I understand it,...

As stated by the World Health Organization (WHO) on its book [WHO Global Disability Action Plan 2014-2021], approximately 15% of the whole population of the globe has some kind of disability. This number really speaks volumes, since it reveals that...
Despite the improvements achieved by the research community in the area of human-computer interaction, conventional interactions are still the most used ones for device control. However, these methods usually force the use of hands, which becomes...
The "Tingle" is a wearable device designed to combat body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), especially trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling) and excoriation (compulsive skin picking). Prevalence of body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) ...
Project Main Focus: During my pilot study, I noticed an increasing lack of a good dependable device that can guard most industrial machines; track and analyze machinery data outputs, protect machines from damage or even fires caused by malfunction or...
