Smart Energy
How to Make a Thermal Fan Control
Difficulty

This project demonstrates how two modules can be combined with a bit of extra circuitry to do a useful job. The result is a circuit that will power a load, like a fan, when the ambient temperature exceeds a set threshold.

Wireless Garden Monitor
Test & Tools
Wireless Garden Monitor
Difficulty

Here's a project that uses two Arduino boards to communicate wirelessly - the first Arduino reads a soil moisture sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor, and sends the data to a second Arduino that displays the data in a graph and text.

Ultrasonic Garage Door Notifier
Power
Ultrasonic Garage Door Notifier
Difficulty

The Garage Door Notifier monitors the status of your car and garage. It has an ultrasonic distance sensor that, with the correct placement, can detect a few different states.

GPS World Clock

Battery Powered Fridges
Difficulty

Benefits of battery supported fridge freezers and how to charge them from mains, vehicle or solar power.

Metronome
Entertainment
Metronome
Difficulty

We usually think of soldering irons, pliers and oscilloscopes when we think of electronic tools, and while this project may not be useful to the electronics enthusiast we think it's a good way of showing how Arduino based tools can be useful in other fields - in this case for musicians

Revive your Arduino - ISP Programming

Revive your Arduino - ISP Programming
Difficulty

A handy tool to have in your Arduino Kit is an ISP programmer.

Duinotech Game Machine
Entertainment
Duinotech Game Machine
Difficulty

We found a little game project online at http://gamebuino.com, and with it being open-source, realised we could make our own version of it using duinotech parts.

Arduino RFID Keypad
Security & Surveillance
Arduino RFID Keypad
Difficulty

THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW/CONSTRUCTION, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. Here's a security project designed with versatility in mind- it's inspired by our LA5353 RFID Keypad, but because it uses the XC4630 LCD Touchscreen, the setup of cards and users is a bit easier.
