A Planar 2 DOF Haptic Device

A Planar 2-DOF Haptic Device for Exploring Gravitational Fields Using Arduino

For our project, we built a planar, 2 degree-of-freedom haptic device for educational use. The design is based on a 5-bar mechanism. We wanted to build a device that would have the versatility to teach various concepts, but would still be relatively affordable (as the goal is implementation in classrooms). For this reason, we designed …

Motion Sensing Digital Camera Alarm

Motion Sensing Digital Camera & Alarm using Arduino

Welcome to my instructable on how to make an Arduino-controlled motion sensing camera and alarm! The motivation behind this project, which I worked on in my electronics class at Pomona College, was the need to keep away varmints (particularly raccoons) that were digging up my parents’ yard. Although a simple motion sensing alarm would probably …
