Arduino Tutorial: Using the Soil Moisture Sensor along with a Nokia 5110 LCD display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-tutorial-using-the-soil-moisture-sensor-along-with-a-nokia-5110-lcd-display/

Using the soil moisture sensor with an Arduino can’t be easier. Adding a Nokia 5110 LCD display makes things more professional since we can visually check the moisture levels of the soil. The sensor can measure the levels of moisture in the soil. So it can be extremely useful if you want to monitor the […]

LCD clock with 4″ display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/lcd-clock-with-4-display/

mcs.uwsuper.edu has build a big LCD clock based on MSP430 mcu and DS3231 RTC clock chip. They write: The clock is built on a 4″ (101 mm) LCD displays OD-103 manufactured by Orient Display. The LCD provides high contrast of digits and easy reading from a large distance. The unit runs on batteries and can also […]

Toothbrushing Instructor

jckelley @ instructables.com has build a tooth brushing help tool using LinkIT ONE Board and an LCD screen: Kids just aren’t huge fans of brushing their teeth. Not only are they not huge fans, they also are pretty bad at it. Teaching a young kid to brush their teeth is really hard. I created a little […]

Arduino Digital Capacitance Meter

by braulio777 @ instructables.com This project lets you measure capacitors in an alone range of measure from 0.000pF to 1000uF. That is, a 16×2 LCD Display will be displaying a sole scale from 0.000pF to 1000uF whose main components will be an Arduino Uno and a 16X2 LCD Display. Arduino Digital Capacitance Meter – [Link]

Building a SmartWatch


https://www.electronics-lab.com/building-a-smartwatch/

Benjamin Blundell has been working on his DIY smart-watch: I have an issue with smart-watches. Watches in general fall into one of two categories: a tool to tell the time, or a fashion statement. Increasingly, I believe the latter category is larger than the first. With the advent of the iWatch, Pebble and the like, […]

ESP8266-based touchscreen clock and light controller with WiFi


https://www.electronics-lab.com/esp8266-based-touchscreen-clock-and-light-controller-with-wifi/

Spiros Papadimitriou build a nice clock based on ESP8266 Wifi and 2.4″ LCD module. He writes: This was a week-long hack, to build a simple touchscreen clock, with the following features: Graphical UI with touch (no buttons) Clock synchronization over NTP Ability to control WiFi-connected LED lamps Web-based configuration UI This project was partly inspired […]

Wrist Mount Digital Altimeter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/wrist-mount-digital-altimeter/

This project is a simple wrist mount digital altimeter which is a device used to determine altitude. This design uses atmospheric pressure to calculate the altitude of its location. The lower the atmospheric pressure, the higher the altitude. The project is comprised of a microcontroller (MCU), an 84×84 pixel graphic LCD and a barometric pressure […]

DIY milliohmmeter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/diy-milliohmmeter/

by hwmakers.eu: This is an example of a simple and cheap milliohmmeter that can be made by every maker. The core of the circuit are a current source (LT3092) and a current sense (INA225): a costant current flows through the milliohm resistor under test and the voltage at the current sense output gives the value of […]
