UniRoP, M16C-based Robot System

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:23:04 +0000

The UniRoP is a small sized robot system which combines classical robot sensors, like infrared distance sensor, accelerometers with a CMOS camera. It is also possible to control the robot by radio. To illustrate the possibilities of the designed system a sample task uses the CMOS picture sensor as an object detector. Simple picture [...]

ArduRoller Balance Bot

admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:29:41 +0000

This project shows you how to build a balance robot based on Arduino named as ArduRoller. It has nice chassis design and balances quite well on the spot. The robot also responds to knocks pretty quickly but sometimes giving it a more gentle push sends it gliding across the room at a constant speed. Shaun [...]

Breathalyzer is a device for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample. Based on this information, you may drive or not. Alinke has made simple Breathalyzer that can communicate with Android Phone.The main component of this project is the IOIO board which enables an Android phone to receive data from Seeed Grove alcohol [...]

Gas Leakage Alarm

admin — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:33:56 +0000

Here is a circuit that can be used to detects the leakage of LPG gas and alerts the user through audio-visual indications. The circuit uses SEN-1327 gas sensor module from RhydoLABZ. Its output goes high when the gas level reaches or exceeds certain point. A preset in the module is used to set the threshold. [...]

Laser Position Sensor
