The goal of this project is to remotely control anything in your house like lights, appliances, temperature, security devices and so on, with a single device or your smartphone. Home automation is one of the most popular Arduino projects nowadays. In this way we can also control the power outlets through voice control commands.ĭifficulty: Advanced Home Automation Arduino Projects You can either use some already made apps for controlling Arduino from the Play Store or create your own custom made app.

Using your smartphone you can connect and control your power outlet via Bluetooth.
#Simplest mechanical clock 3d print Bluetooth#
An HC-05 Bluetooth module and a 5V Relay module for which I already have detailed tutorials. For powering the Arduino and the relay you can use 220/ 110V AC to 5V DC converter. Using my detailed tutorials how a cycloidal and a harmonic gearboxes work we can develop robotic joints which will have high torque and efficiency.įor this project you just need two components along with the Arduino board. 6-Axis Arduino Robot Arm with Cycloidal or Harmonic Drives as Jointsīuilding more robust Arduino based Robot arm which will employ either Cycloidal or Harmonic drives as joints. The following section of this article contains Arduino projects ideas based on my detailed tutorials on various sensors and modules, as well as your suggestions from the comments section below.įor each project idea I will point out the required components as well as the particular tutorial for each of them. Link: DIY Air Quality Monitor – PM2.5, CO2, VOC, Ozone, Temp & Hum Arduino Meter Arduino Projects Ideas The device can also keep track of the sensors values from the last 24 hours. I designed a custom PCB on which we can easily attach the sensors we need and show the results on a 2.8 inches touch display. In this Arduino project we are building an Air Quality Monitor which can measure several important air quality parameters such as PM2.5, CO2, VOC, Ozone, as well as temperature and humidity. On top of that, I wanted to use common materials or avoid 3D printers so I used MDF board for building the base frame. DIY Laser Engraving CNC Machineįor the project my goal was to build the simplest CNC machine with minimum parts possible and by using just a single power tool. So, using the Arduino as a controller we are actually able to build any of these CNC machines. A CNC or Computer Numerical Control is an automated control of machines, like mills, lathes, plasma cutters, 3D printers and etc. The following projects show how capable Arduino is. Link: Arduino Ant Hexapod Robot CNC Machines Arduino Projects With that it can detect objects in front, and it can even strike if the object is present if front of it. The ant also has built-in ultrasonic sensor in the head. We can control the ant robot via Bluetooth and a smartphone, or radio communication. I also designed a custom PCB which acts as an Arduino Mega Shield so we can easily attach all servo connects. We need MEGA because it’s the only board that can control more than 12 servos using the Servo library.

The brain of the robot is an Arduino Mega. That means that we need total of 18 servos for this project, and additionally 3 servos for the head movements and 1 servo for the tail. Each leg have three joints, and for each joint we need a servo motor.
