Luke Iseman developed sensors using an Arduino to regulate water and light for plants in his indoor garden. I chose this project because this course is centered around…

Example: OCS-2 Digital Synth

Somebody made a digital synth based on an Arduino Due.  Its an interesting project because of the attention to detail: with just a few more design iterations it…

Example: Plant Monitoring Alert System

Plants die all the time but it’s not always due to negligence. Sometimes it’s by helicopter parenting (overwatering). Different plants require different moisture levels and sometimes we forget…

Example: Arduino Home Energy Meter

I found this project interesting, because I’ve never really taken into account how expensive utilities can get. This energy meter measures the supply current to your home, which…

Example: Keyless Lock Box

This Keyless Lock Box works by using a finger sensor (that senses direct contact) to detect a unique movement pattern known only to the owner of this box….

Example: Photobioreactor

A bioreactor uses a light source to cultivate microscopic photosynthetic organisms. This idea is inspired by the creator’s perception that biofuel is an important stepping stone to a…

Example: Follow-me Drone

This follow-me drone project is interesting from the fact that the user integrated several sensors to make the drone “autonomous.” The concept is intriguing to me from a user-experience…

Example: Arduino Apple Watch

The person who started this project wanted a small, rechargeable, smartwatch that displayed notifications from his iPhone. The project is a Bluetooth enabled smartwatch with a 3D printed…

Example: Light Painting Robot

Light Painting Robot by Alan Hinchcliffe, a photographer, and Stephen elliott, was made inspired by light painting, a photographic technique. I was intrigued by how they translate their technical skills…
