Hello Arduino world! At the end of this tutorial you will be able to use a piezo element to activate lights on an LED strip. Before we begin, let’s better understand what is occurring with piezoelectric sensors. Piezoelectric sensors utilize the idea that everything gives off vibrations and shocks when it moves, and therefore, this […]

Weighing Sensor Tutorial _ Draft
For our “Safe Bike Path” project, weighing sensors are necessary to test if there is any car running or turning over the bike path. In our prototype, we are going to use the load sensor as follow: The maximum weight will be 50 kg /110 lb. We went through some existing tutorials and found that […]
In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to control an Addressable LED Strip using any arduino sensor. The examples I will show below will use a potentiometer and a photo cell. Needed parts include: An Arduino A breadboard An addressable LED strip Any sensor About 8 wires External power supply (if using a long portion […]

LCD Screen Tutorial
Hello everyone, in this tutorial I will cover how to program and wire an arduino LCD Screen. Essentially how this works is the arduino prints to the LCD, similar to how it would print to the serial monitor, except this is a more easy to see visual. So, First a parts list. You will […]

Creating a non-invasive current sensor
In this tutorial, we will be setting up a non-invasive current sensor to measure current flow. Material List One Arduino Uno One Soderless Breadboard One 10uF capacitor Two 10k Ω resistors One 33 Ω resistor One Non-Invasive Current Sensor rated at 100A Wire Stripper or 3.5 mm audio jack Optional: 9V battery connected to Arduino […]
In this tutorial, I will cover programming one Arduino board to act as a “controller” and send a signal to another board, triggering the second Arduino to respond by changing the color of the RGB light. This project is a helpful overview of how inputs on one board can trigger outputs on other boards. Communication […]

PUSH SENSOR DATA ONTO ADAFRUIT IO
The term Internet of Things (IoT) is somewhat fuzzy but gets thrown around a lot – at the end of the day, it’s really just the idea of connecting things to the Internet and each other. This tutorial will cover how to do the former – connecting things (i.e. your Arduino board) to the Internet. […]
