Build a digital guardian for your favorite plants! Using an Arduino and a few inexpensive sensors, you can keep your plants extremely happy with the proper amount of moisture, warmth, and light.
Cellular Sensor Sentinel is a fun and accessible way to explore basic sensors while simultaneously learning about core cellular protocols GSM & GPRS.
This project uses the Seeed Studio GPRS/GSM v2.0 Shield to build a versatile Arduino-based remote alarm system that can notify your cell phone within seconds, via text message, when nearby doors or windows are opened or closed, pressure sensors depressed, or motion sensors activated, just to name a few of the many possibilities. Here we'll teach you how to connect simple motion, touch, pressure, and light sensors, and how to program the Arduino to use the shield to send text messages when these detect events. It's easy to adapt this system to use other sensor devices like temperature probes, magnetic switches, tilt sensors, etc.
The Beatband Sleeve joins a long list of projects attempting to read the human-mechanical heartbeat and visualize it as an electrical signal. Whether using midi controllers or operational amplifiers or infrared technology (and more recently IR in combination with an op-amp), makers love wearing their heartbeats as pendants or simply […]
Build an Arduino clone using the MintDuino and then program it to visualize your heartbeat in combination with the Pulse Sensor AMPed. The five LEDs mounted to the lid of the tin will flash in sync with your heartbeat's rhythm. Does your heartbeat speed up when you don't tell the truth? When you play video games? When you meditate, can you slow your heartbeat down? Build the Beatband Sleeve and find out!
Use an Arduino, MakerShield, and ethernet shield to build an automatic water dispensing system to fill up your pet's water bowl while you're away. The sensors connected to the circuit know when the bowl is low - and filled - with water, and it can even tweet when the reservoir runs out!

Combine some common components and several pieces of software into one, and assemble this microcontroller-driven motion-sensing camera that records VGA resolution pictures to SD card.
Join us today at 3:30pm PT/6:30pm ET for a quick 20-minute Hangout On Air with Tom Rodgers, maker of the TV-Go-Sleep Universal TV Timer, an Arduino-powered sleep-timer that will turn off any TV in range after a countdown.
Combine some common components and several pieces of software into one, and assemble this microcontroller-driven motion-sensing camera that records VGA resolution pictures to SD card. The camera module is also capable of video output, and the project could be easily attached to an ethernet or WiFi shield turning the build into a remote webcam.
