18. Prototype - Touch activated Light bulb

In this project, you will learn how to switch on a light bulb with just a touch. We will be using a Human Touch sensor (KY-036) and if you don't know how it works, feel free to look up the previous project.

*Precaution: Ensure safety when working with mains electricity. For beginners, I would recommend connecting the LED and 1kΩ resistor to the relay module as a prototype. The LED and power bank will substitute the lamp and the mains electricity respectively.

Supplies

  • Arduino Nano
  • Solderless Breadboard - Mini
  • Human Touch sensor (KY-036)
  • Relay Module
  • LED (any colour)
  • 1kΩ resistor
  • Male-to-male jumper wires (10cm)
  • Female-to-male jumper wires (20cm)
  • Power bank - 10000 mAh
  • USB 2.0 Type A to Mini B cable (For Arduino Nano)
  • USB 2.0 Type A cable (For power bank)

Setup 


For more information about the setup, please watch the YouTube video posted at the bottom of this page.

Connections


  • Relay Module - D5
  • Human Touch sensor - D3
  • (+) of Human Touch sensor - 5V
  • (-) of Human Touch sensor - GND

      You are not supposed to copy it. You should study and understand the codes before you implement them.

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...
