“Our ECE 4760 design project integrates three different kinds of sensor measurements to track a user’s movement speed, regularity of gait, force on impact, pronation of foot, as well as other information that may be useful to a podiatrist.”

“This project measures the background radiation outside the house, and transmits it to a display station inside the house. The outside sensing unit is solar powered (but it doesn’t have to be), and should have a range of at least 50m.”

“In this article, i will use the PIC 16F1937, a powerful microcontroller with a 16-channel capacitance module. I will only use the 4 of them, but the idea to expand it to all 16 channels is the same.”

“If you ever wanted to integrate touch sensitivity into your project, this board could just do the trick. It’s a capacitive touch sensor. These sensors are used in our everyday consumer electronics like notebook trackpads, video game consoles, touchscreens…just to name a few.”

“GSM Home Security is a project to monitor the home when you are out of the house through the GSM network. The project uses four magnetic switches installed on any door in the house to trigger notification of doors being open or closed.”

“In this project we have used two types of different R.F Modules like 433Mhz and 315Mhz Interfaced to a Pic16f877a, HT640 for R.F Encoding and HT648 for R.F Decoding. We will use two sensors one for temperature sensing: LM35 and another one is a potentiometer. The two sensors have an output of analog signal and that analog signal is fed into to two adc channel of the pic16f877a.”

“The purpose of our project is to control a toy helicopter using flex sensors attached to a glove. The flex sensors are intended to replace the remote control that is generally used to fly the helicopter.”

“Most people would just go out and buy a temp / humidity sensor and be done with it….Instead, I decided to build an accurate temp / humidity sensor with a Sensiron SHT11 to read the values, a RBBB Arduino kit to process everything and an Adafruit 128×32 OLED to display the results – all wrapped up in LEGO!”

“The IR object detection module is quiet easy to make. This circuit below is a low cost / low range object detection module that you can easily make at home using IR sensors. We will use a photodiode and IR LED to make a simple circuit. IR led looks like a regular LED that you usually see in Television Remote controls.”
