Electronic Voting Machine

Electronic Voting Machine using Internal EEPROM of AVR Using Atmega

The microcontroller based voting machines made the process of voting and counting the voted lot easier than before. Previously the votes were marked in paper which are then stored safely in a box and inside a well secure room for days. The process of separating the votes and counting them manually may take a lot of days. …

TMP36 Temperature Sensor

TMP36 Temperature Sensor With Arduino in Tinkercad

In this project, you will turn the Arduino into a thermometer! Use a temperature sensor to measure your skin temperature, and register the output with three LEDs. Even though the Arduino is a digital tool, it can interpret signals from an analog input, like the TMP36 temperature sensor, using the built in Analog-to-Digital (ADC) converter, …

Arduino Connect several digital inputs to one analog input

Connect several digital inputs to one analog input using Arduino

I often run out of digital pins on my Arduino. Anything as complicated as, say, a video game controller, was near impossible with the amount of pins I had available. Multiplexing buttons works, but it requires lots of connections and soldering. So, I put together a solution! Step 1: Resistor Dividers in Five In a …

Arduino Weather Station Part3 Rain

Arduino Weather Station Part3, Rain

So one of my last projects was adding a weather vane to my Arduino weather station. https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Wind-Chill-Machine/ https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Weather-Station-Part2/ This Lazy Old Geek decided to add a rain gauge to it even though we don’t get much rain in the high desert. Most digital rain gauges are based on something called a tipping bucket. Here is …

Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

Ultrasonic Distance Sensor in Arduino With Tinkercad

Let’s measure distances with an ultrasonic rangefinder (distance sensor) and Arduino’s digital input. We’ll connect up a circuit using a breadboard and use some simple Arduino code to control a single LED.                     You may have already learned to read a pushbutton and PIR motion sensor with Arduino’s digital input, …

Using The PCF8575 i2c i/o Expander To Read Inputs With Arduino

This Instructable will show you just how easy it is to add extra inputs to your Arduino. You can use this technique to add hundreds of extra inputs to your Arduino with only two wires by using a fancy communication protocol called i2c (eye-squared-see). What I have used… PCF8575 SMD to DIP breakout board Teensy-Arduino (any Arduino will …
