15. Safety box using Arduino - Laser transmitter and photoresistor modules

In this project, I will be using laser transmitter (KY-008) and photoresistor (KY-018) modules to provide security to my Google Home Mini. My Google Home mini will be placed inside the safety box and the switch will be pressed to arm the box and the led will change colour from orange to green. 

The supplies and the final look of the project are included in my YouTube video embedded in this page.
From left to right: Photoresistor (KY-018), Key switch (KY-004), Laser transmitter (KY-008) and Active buzzer (KY-012).

You can also use a two colour LED module (KY-011) instead of using LED of different colours

Connections:

  • Key switch - D4
  • Red - D5
  • Green - D6
  • Common cathode (two-colour LED module) - Ground (GND)
  • Active buzzer - D7
  • Laser transmitter - D8

Final Look


If anyone is interested and require the codes or have any questions regarding this project, please contact me at arduinoprojectsbyr@gmail.com.

77. Controlling Micro servo Robotic Arm with MPU-6050 sensor module

 Hey everyone! I am back with an interesting project. Today, you will be learning about controlling a Simple 2 axis Robotic Arm, made from Micro servo motors, with an MPU-6050 sensor module. Please feel free to visit my previous blog post to learn about the MPU-6050 sensor module. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Mega 2560 - You could use any other Arduino microcontroller, but make sure you use an external power supply. USB Type A/B cable (for Arduino Mega 2560) MPU-6050 sensor module SG-90 Tower Pro Micro Servo motor (x2) Male-to-Male Jumper wires (x6) Male-to-Female Jumper wires (x5) Setup Schematic MPU-6050 sensor module VCC - 3.3V GND - Ground SDA - D20 (Arduino Mega 2560), A4 (Arduino Uno and Nano) SCL - D21 (Arduino Mega 2560), A5 (Arduino Uno and Nano) INT - D2 Micro servo motor (Roll) S (Yellow/ Orange) - D9 + (Red) - 5V - (Black/ Brown) - GND  Micro servo motor (Pitch) S (Yellow/ Orange) - D10 + (Red) - 5V - (Black/ Brown) - GND Coding As I alread...

85. Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino

 Hey everyone, Sorry I have not posted in a while. Today, I will be presenting you my Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino. You can find the schematic and code explanation within this post. Read on further to learn how I did this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Mega 2560 Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/ Capacitive Touch - You could also use any other Arduino compatible TFT display DS1307 RTC Module Solderless Breadboard - Half+ (This is optional if you are connecting the RTC module to the development board directly) Jumper wires (x4) - Male/Male jumper wires if using solderless breadboard. Female/Male if connecting RTC module directly to Arduino Mega. Software apps Arduino IDE - latest version is recommended Setup Connections DS1307 RTC Module SCL - A5 SDA - A4 VCC - 5V GND - Ground Adafruit TFT Touch shield You can simply place the Adafruit TFT Touch shield onto your Arduino Mega 2560 development board. Make sure to...

57. Using Blynk with Arduino Uno and ESP8266 WiFi module

Hello Everyone! Today I am going to explain you how to connect your Arduino Uno with Blynk using the ESP8266 WiFi module. I have already demonstrated you about connecting your Arduino Uno with Blynk app using the Ethernet Shield W5100 and this will be the second version of that project .  Hardware components used in this project Arduino Uno ESP-01 ESP8266 WiFi module USB to TTL converter Solderless Breadboard - Half+ Breadboard power supply module - 3.3V/ 5V RGB LEDs (x3) - Common Anode Resistors (x3) - 220 Ω Relay module - 5V single channel Male-to-Male Jumper wires Female-to-Male Jumper wires Setup Your setup must look somewhat similar to that shown in the images above. Connections ESP8266 ESP-01 wifi module GND - Ground GPIO0- Not connected GPIO2 - Not connected RXD - D2 TXD - D3 CH_PD - VCC - 3.3V RESET - Not connected VCC - 3.3V  *Note: Do not connect your ESP8266 ESP-01 wifi module with 5V. RGB LED - Common Anode Anode -...
