Now you have removed the heart of the printer, it's time to work on its head. As you may know, Replicator+'s head is full of features such as filament runout detector and bed contact sensor (actually the hotend can translate along the vertical axis and...
To be able to record live air quality data from the DesignSpark Environmental Sensor Development Kit (ESDK), you'll need to make it mobile, which involves incorporating a GPS board (A9G GPS/GPRS Board), adding a power bank, and implementing...
Now that the PSU is done, Arguably the most difficult part, the rest is pretty easy. There are two major components that need to be built now: The control circuit for the HV psu, and the Hand sensor.These are the last two critical custom...

Story In this tutorial i will show you how to make a simple color sorting machine machine using Arduino and TCS230,TCS3200 color sensor with servo motors. In this project Color sensor detect the color of candy and generate output in this output sensor...
3D Printing and the WeatherPiIn building the WeatherPi Solar Powered Weather Station, we saw a couple of parts that we decided it would be good to 3D Print. In the 6 months since we bought our SwitchDoc Labs MakerBot Replicator, we have totally changed...
The Arduino IDE Program in the GitHub repo sends the moisture reading received from the moisture sensor by the ESP32 board to the python program via the serial port. Simply add your ESP32 board in Arduino IDE, compile and flash the sensorapp.ino program....
Let's get started with how to build these! Elephant Detection Devices: software overview https://hackaday.io/project/20448-elephant-ai/log/68968-elephant-detection-devices-software-overview Now, as I mentioned, there are two detection devices: the...
Well, we got MQTT working, but now what? We want to send something more interesting than just HELLO. We want to send some actual data. Up to this point, you have been able to use either of the Cypress PSoC 6 dev boards (the CY8CPROTO-062-4343W or the...
Connect the units together as per the wiring in the description, I used Dupont connectors for ease of maintenance, take care with the wiring for the sensor. This design does not use any sort of slip-ring, you need to leave a big enough loop...
Use Thonny for this code. from machine import Pin, ADC, Timer import utime import machine, neopixel lighton = 1000 #time in miliseconds that LEDs are on after touching the sensor #colors (values 0-255) red = 10 blue = 0 green = 20 led = 18 # GPIO18 sensor_ADC0...
To improve the precision of the detection we are going to have to complexify the system by adding some LED on different digital ports of the board. As you can see on the pictures, I now have 15 LEDs (choose as many as you want) wired in a plastic brown...
Disconnect the USB cable, then get a 12V power supply and connect it to Arduino.If you like it and the day is bad and full of thunderstorms or lightenings, the test will be quick, but if this is not the case you will have to use a piezo gas lighter (without...
With the communication system working, one of the final major tasks left was constructing the AUV. Our initial designs for the AUV were pretty simplistic, as we did not realize the enormity of the many mechanical challenges involved in getting a vehicle...
Now we need to draft out a schematic for our pocket weather station. The schematic for this project is very simple as there are very few modules and have to be just connected together without the need for any external modifiers. I have attached the schematic...
