About a million people have died over the past 5 years in unmanned railway crossings all over the world. At least 1/3rd of the railway crossings are unmanned due to their remote placement and less traffic. The Automatic Railway Gate Control System using IR Sensor & Arduino focuses on systematic traffic control of railway gates that are both …

Controlling a model train layout with a wired throttle and turnout controllers might be a good start for beginners but they pose a problem of non-portability. Also, the wireless controllers which come in the market can either control only some locomotives or are a bit too expensive. So, in this instructable, let’s learn how to …

Tides. In Anchorage Alaska we live on a point located between two enormous tidal bays–so big in fact that Captain Cook on his initial survey of the area thought (hopeful thinking) that this entrance would prove to be a “northwest passage”. It is shallow and all boats traversing to the port are aware of the …
Every once in a while there is a question in the Arduino forum on how fast you can toggle an IO pin. The answer to this question depends on your line of thinking / what you will allow as an answer. So here is my take on performance optimization for its own sake. First of …
For my Fab Academy class I have to create a board with a microcontroller, a button and a LED. I will use Eagle to create it. Step 1: ATtiny 1614 I will use the ATtiny 1614, so I will use the reference of the echo Hello Board ATtiny 1614 from Neil Gershenfeld. I will also …
