Arduino Infrared (IR) Remote Driver Implementation

The Infrared Sensor

The IR Remote Receiver Electronic Module has 3 pins. From left to right they are (G) Ground, (V) Voltage, (S) Signal. BUT the marking sometimes varies on the little circuit board.

Arduino HC-SR04 Distance Sensor Driver Implementation

HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor and Arduino

The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor is a very affordable proximity/distance sensor that has been used mainly for object avoidance in various Arduino robotics projects.  It provides 2cm to 400cm of non-contact measurement functionality with a ranging accuracy that can reach up to 3mm. Each HC-SR04 module includes an ultrasonic transmitter, a receiver and a control…

Arduino Continuous Rotation (360 degree) Servo Driver Implementation

This servo rotates fully forward or backwards instead of moving to a position. You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos. Good for making simple moving robots. Comes with four different horns.

To control with an Arduino, I suggest connecting the control wire to pin 9 or 10 and using the Servo library included with the Arduino IDE. Position “90” (1.5ms pulse) is…

3D Printed Case (Modular!) for your DIY Project

Every time I build a DIY project I stumble upon the need to encase it. There is plenty available 3D Printed Case designs online but none truly met my needs for simplicity and modularity. This pushed me to design the case tailored exactly to my needs.

Business requirements

We need the project’s casing to:

enclose all the circuit parts

be easily extended with additional sensors, motors, and…

When it comes to improving your house or health, spending a little green on greens can go a long way. It’s not just about improving your indoor aesthetics. Even if you don’t notice a plant’s presence, seeing a plant can…

Build your own CHEAP 3d Printer

Creating things out of thin air has always been man’s dream. Unfortunately 3D printers are not molecular synthesizers. No doubt in near future every household will be using 3D printing device, just like microwave. We’re talking here about really close future.

Why Smartrap?

I’ve done some research and found out 3D printers’ prices…
