66. Automatic faucet (Touchless) using Arduino - Wash hands and stay safe during COVID-19 crisis

Hey friends! I hope you are all doing well and staying safe now. In this post, I will be explaining you about my prototype which I designed to wash hands safely. I made this project with limited resources. Those who are interested can remake this project, and if you like you can make some improvements too. The codes can be found in the Coding  section of this page. I did not have a solenoid water valve with me, so I had to use the submersible water pump to demonstrate my project. By having an automatic faucet, you do not have to touch the surface of the faucet after you wash your hands; you can wash your hands safely and prevent coronavirus disease. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Nano Solderless Breadboard - Half + Ultrasonic sensor Relay module - 5V single channel Submersible water pump (5V) / solenoid water valve (12V) Regulated power supply (optional) - compulsory if solenoid water valve is used Jumper wires Connections Ultrasonic senso

65. Controlling VLC Media Player with Blynk - Using Arduino and Python

Hello Everyone! I have explained you about controlling the VLC media player by your hands and IR remote. In this version, I will be using my Blynk app to control my VLC Media Player over long distance. Unlike the previous two versions, this will be an IoT project but the coding will be similar to the previous project. Version 01 - Using Hands:  https://arduinoprojectsbyr.blogspot.com/2020/02/61-controlling-vlc-media-player-with.html Version 02 - IR remote:  https://arduinoprojectsbyr.blogspot.com/2020/02/62-controlling-vlc-media-player-with-ir.html Hardware components used in this project NodeMCU devkit V1.0 USB Type A to micro B cable  Solderless Breadboard - Half+ (Optional) Apps used in this project Arduino IDE Blynk Setup Coding Arduino The coding will be similar to that of the previous project. You will need to install the Blynk app and its library; if you are new, please feel free to visit this website: https://blynk.io/en/getting-st

64. Colour Sorting Game with Talking Arduino

Hey everyone! Today I am going to explain you about making a fun game with Arduino and you can also make your Arduino talk. In this game, a total of 10 random questions will be asked and you have to place the coloured sheet when the respective colour is displayed on the LCD screen, or called. You will be given 5 attempts and if you use all of them, the game will be over and you should start it again. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Uno USB Type A/ B cable Ethernet Shield W5100/ SD card module SD card Solderless Breadboard Power rail - Half+ TCS230/ TCS3200 colour sensor 16 x 2 LCD display module with I2C interface Audio Jack/ Speaker/ Amplifier Hardware setup Connections TCS230/ TCS3200 Colour sensor GND - Ground OE - Ground S0 - D3 S1 - D5 S2 - D6 S3 - D7 Out - D8 VCC - 5V 16 x 2 LCD display module with I2C interface GND - Ground VCC - 5V SDA - A4 SCL - A5 Coding The audio files will be stored in your SD card an

63. IoT Weather station using Arduino

Hi everyone! Have you ever wondered about building an Arduino weather station on your own? Well, this might be your chance to build a basic IoT weather station. This will be an interesting project and I will be guiding you through this. In this project, you will be learning how to record measurements using the sensors and store them in Google Spreadsheets.  I got this idea after referring to Stephen Borsay's ' Transmit ESP8266 Data to Google sheets ' project from hackster.io. Likewise, you can also upgrade this project by adding more sensors to measure weather conditions.
