69. Health Measurements (Datalogging) using IoT

Hello everyone! Today I am going to explain you about my new project. In this project, I will be logging health measurements to Google Sheet. This is a prototype. This project will be more efficient when accurate heart beat and temperature sensors are used to take measurements. The google sheet can be shared with your doctor, who can monitor your measurements to give you proper treatment from afar. Hardware components used in this project NodeMCU devkit V1.0 Solderless Breadboard - Full + DS18B20 Temperature sensor module (You can also use an LM-35 temperature sensor) Heart Beat sensor module (KY-039) Two colour LED module (KY-011) IR sensor module Push-buttons (x2) Resistors (x2) - 10kΩ Male-to-Male Jumper wires - 10cm and 20cm Jumpers (to reduce the usage of wires) Softwares and online services Arduino IDE PushingBox Google Sheets Hardware setup Your hardware setup must look somewhat similar to that in the pictures above. Connections He

68. Controlling VLC Media Player with Google Home Mini - Using Arduino and Python

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are doing safe now. Today I am going to explain you about the fourth version of controlling the VLC Media Player using Arduino and Python. In this version, I will be using the Google Home mini to control the VLC Media Player with my voice. This version will be really useful for people who do not have a chromecast.

67. Larson Scanner using Arduino and 74HC595 Shift Register

Hey everyone! Today I am going to explain you about making a simple 8-LED Larson Scanner using Arduino and 74HC595 Shift Register. I will also give you a brief explanation about the 74HC595 shift register so that you could understand this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Nano Solderless Breadboard - Full + Shift Register - 74HC595 LEDs (x8) Resistors (x8) - 330Ω Male-to-Male Jumper wires (x11)  Jumpers (x7) - To reduce the usage of wires 74HC595 shift register The 74HC595 shift register, nicknamed as '595', is used to expand the number of I/O ports you can use from your Arduino, and works on Serial IN Parallel OUT protocol. It uses only three input pins and controls eight separate output pins. QA - QH: Output pins which should be connected to any type of output, for example - LEDs Ground: this pin should be connected to the ground of Arduino QH': You do not have to connect this pin in this project. This pin is useful when
