With a color sensor you teach your Arduino to distinguish between different colors. Most sensors can’t detect subtle differences – but they’re enough to detect the colors of M&Ms or Skittles, for example! Here you will learn how to connect a color sensor, use it to detect colors and convert …

A weather station with current values is one thing – but knowing what the weather will be like in a few hours is quite another. In this project you create a simple weather forecast with the air pressure sensor BMP180 and a servo. Honestly, this project can’t keep up with …

With a simple temperature sensor and a servo motor you can create an analog thermometer in minutes. The “needle” of the servo shows you the temperature between 10°C and 30°C on a template. For this project you need: Arduino Board (we use a Uno here) 1 or 2 breadboard(s) – …

In this project you will learn how to create a simple Arduino Theremin with a piezo buzzer and the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. But that’s not all – so that even inexperienced musicians can inspire their friends, this theremin only plays tones within a scale you define. In the following we …

In this project you develop an AI model that can recognize gestures like circular movements and waving. Then you load it onto your Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense and display the detected movements in the terminal of your PC or Mac. With this setting you can create more elaborate projects …

If you want to develop AI models with Edge Impulse by machine learning, you need one thing above all: data. A lot of data. In this tutorial you will learn how to collect motion data with the accelerometer of the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense and store it in Edge …

With Edge Impulse, you can easily collect sensor data, develop AI models from it, and put them back on a microcontroller. The perfect companion for this is the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense – not only does it have suitable sensors directly on the board, but it is also capable …

A sound sensor – or noise sensor – is a classic among sensors. In this tutorial you will learn how to connect the popular KY-037* and use it to process sounds both with the Arduino. Components of the Sound Sensor The most important parts of the noise sensor you will …

With the sensor MQ-3* you can measure how much ethanol is in the air – e.g. in the exhaled air. However: you cannot determine the alcohol level of a test person and whether she is still able to drive. Likewise, you do not get absolute values, but only a relative …

In this project you monitor the temperature with a sensor and your ESP8266. As soon as a certain temperature defined by you is exceeded, your microcontroller sends a message to your Telegram bot. This project is the second part of a series: In terms of content it is set up …

In this project you use Telegram to contact your ESP8266 to check the current temperature. As soon as your ESP8266 receives your request, it requests the current temperature from the BMP180 sensor and sends it to your smartphone. This project is the third part of a series and builds up …

With the affordable HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor you can easily measure smaller distances and detect obstacles. The advantages of this sensor are obvious: It is inexpensive, installed in no time at all and delivers reliable results. Setup & Function The HC-SR04 sensor is quickly installed and connected: Supply it with 5V …

With most sensors you can measure the temperature of the environment – one step further is the GY-906: This sensor measures the temperature of an object from a distance via infrared.And it also measures the ambient temperature at the same time. 🙂 In this tutorial you will learn how to …

If you want to detect motion, e.g. to switch on the light, the motion detector HC-SR501 (also called PIR for “passive infrared sensor”) is often a sufficiently good and inexpensive choice. Primarily, this sensor reacts to heat in the form of infrared rays. To prevent the radiator from switching on …

There are some temperature sensors on the market, like the well-known TMP36*, the GY-906* (which measures by infrared) or of course the DHT11* (or its more accurate brother DHT22*). Both of them also measure humidity. However, the BMP180* measures not only the ambient temperature but also the air pressure, which …

In this project you create a motion detector that sends you a message when someone moves in front of it. In principle, this is a silent alarm– an alarm system that does not make any noise but discreetly tells you that something is in progress. The sensor HC-SR501 is used …
