New Project: Cellular Sensor Sentinel
arduino, GPRS, GreatCreate, gsm, RadioShack, Seeed Studio, wayne and layne, Weekend Projects Comments Off on New Project: Cellular Sensor Sentinel
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.

Wear Your Heartbeat with a Pulse Sensor and Weekend Projects
arduino, Electronics, GreatCreate, health, RadioShack, Weekend Projects Comments Off on Wear Your Heartbeat with a Pulse Sensor and Weekend Projects
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 […]

New Project: Beatband Sleeve
arduino, Electronics, Featured, GreatCreate, health, RadioShack, Weekend Projects Comments Off on New Project: Beatband Sleeve
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!

Crittergram Capture Cam
arduino, Electronics, GreatCreate, Hacks, Home, RadioShack, Weekend Projects Comments Off on Crittergram Capture Cam
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.
