62. Controlling VLC Media Player with an IR remote - Using Arduino and Python

Hello Everyone! In my previous project, I have explained you about controlling the VLC media player by your hands and in this version, I will be using my own IR remote to execute more functions. In my previous version, I only presented three functions which were Play/ Pause, Volume up and Volume down, but in this version I will be presenting eight more functions. Read on further to learn more about this project. You will also find this blog post as a helpful guide to make your DIY IR remote. Hardware components used in this project IR remote Arduino Uno USB Type A/ B cable (for Arduino Uno) Solderless Breadboard - Full+ IR transmitter module (KY-005) Push-button (x11) Male-to-Male Jumper wires (x13) - 20cm Jumpers (x12) - To reduce the usage of wires IR receiver Arduino Nano USB Type A to mini B cable (for Arduino Nano) Solderless Breadboard - Half+ IR receiver module (KY-022) Male-to-Male Jumper wires (x3) - 10cm Setup Your setup must look some

61. Controlling VLC Media Player with your hands - Using Arduino and Python

Hello everyone! Until now, I have explained you about projects using Arduino, and today I am going to explain you about a project which uses both Arduino and Python. In this project, I am going to be using Arduino and Python to control the VLC Media Player with just my hands. Read on further to learn how to do this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Nano USB Type A to mini B cable (x2) - for Arduino Nano and breadboard power supply module Breadboard Power supply module - 3.3/ 5V Solderless Breadboard - Half+ IR line tracking sensor module (x2) Male-to-Male Jumper wires - 10cm Female-to-Male Jumper wires (x6) - 20cm Softwares used in this project Arduino IDE - Version 1.8.10 Python 3.8 Hardware Setup Your setup must look somewhat similar to those in the pictures above. Schematic IR line tracking sensor module (+) - 5V (-) - Ground (GND) S1 - D3 S2 - D4 Coding You will need to use both Python and Arduino IDE for t

60. Arduino Based Piano V2.0 - Using LDRs

Hello Everyone! Today I am going to present you the second version of my Arduino based Piano and this version will be using photoresistors instead of push-buttons. Photoresistors, also known as Light dependent Resistors (LDRs), are photosensitive - reacts to changes in light conditions. Photoresistors are made with semiconductive material, and the resistance of this semiconductive material decreases with increasing incident light intensity. Read on further to learn more about this project.
