play with arcade buttons

ARCADE BUTTONS WITH LED A button is a button, and a switch is a switch, but the translucent arcade buttons are in a class of their own. Particularly because they have LEDs built in. The arcade buttons can often be found on retro arcade game machines. The arcade buttons have two surface mount LEDs with […]

Doctor-intelligent medicine box-patient interactive programming framework and DEMO BOX

To create a new Intelligent medicine box, the interaction between the doctor, box and patients is very important. Each time the patient takes the box to the hospital to get refilled, the doctor needs to reset the box. To be more specific, the doctor needs to tell the box how long (how many days) this […]

Building real-time dashboards with processing

Introduction Data is everywhere, all the time. The overabundance of data streams can be not only personally exhausting but can also undermine otherwise successful sensor-based projects. You can have the best sensors and the most intelligent sensing design, but if the data coming from those sensors isn’t used intelligently, the project will not live up […]

Creating a Lock “Enabler” Button on Tinkercad

This tutorial is part of a project that is conceived as a Narcan first aid-kit stored on public transportation. Once the engineer of a train is notified of a prospective overdose, they can hit a button which will unlock the first aid-kit in the car. Once the kit is unlocked, the passenger needs to hit […]

VIOLATION DETECTION (GEOFENCING WITH FONA808).

INTORDUCTION In this tutorial, we are going to use the FONA 808 breakout board along with Arduino to make a cool geofencing project. The geofencing violation happens when the opioid user (with opioid box) leaves the area where they are allowed to use the medicine. When that behavior happens, the LED will turn on, the […]

Indicate water conductivity with an LED

In this tutorial, you will build a device that detects the conductivity of water and use it to control the brightness of an LED light. The conductivity of pure water is very low, but it increases when substances are dissolved in it (Check out this page from the USGS for more on the science behind […]
