28 projects across 4 kits — each with its parts list, priced loose, and one button that puts them all in your cart.
Blink an LED, then fade it with a knob. Learn which LED leg is +, why every LED needs a resistor, and how the UNO dims a light. Do Start here first.
Three LEDs run the red, red + yellow, green, yellow cycle of a real traffic light. Learn timing with delay() and write your own function.
The buzzer plays a slow beep, a fast alarm and SOS in Morse code. Type 0-3 in the Serial Monitor to choose: your first commands from the computer.
Measure distance with sound. The HC-SR04 times an echo and the UNO turns it into centimetres, drawn live in the Serial Plotter.
Turn the knob and the servo arm follows; leave it for 4 seconds and the servo sweeps by itself. Learn map(), libraries and position control.
Put your name and a seconds counter on the 16 × 2 LCD. Wire a display with 6 signal wires and set the contrast with the knob. Check your LCD has its pins fitted.
The final build uses every part: LEDs show the zone, the buzzer warns when too close, the LCD shows the distance and the servo swings like a gauge. A separate 5V servo s…
Wire the HC-SR04 and read distances in the Serial Monitor. Compare them with a ruler to see how accurate the sensor really is. Do Start here first.
Green, yellow and red LEDs show how close an object is: green 50 cm and more, yellow 20-49 cm, red under 20 cm. Yellow blinks when there is no echo.
Like a car's parking sensor on your desk: slow beeps under 20 cm and fast beeps under 10 cm, while the LEDs show the zone. A learning model only.
Find the sensor's limits: too close, too far and off to the side. The LEDs and running counts show good readings, "too close" and "no echo".
Type the ruler distance, get 10 readings back: average, error, minimum, maximum and spread. Paste the rows into a spreadsheet and find your sensor's accuracy.
Why does the sensor sometimes miss things right in front of it? Fire 20 pings at flat, soft, round, thin and tilted targets and count how many echoes come back.
Raw, averaged and median distance on one live graph. See how an average smooths but lags, and how a median ignores sudden spikes.
A pocket distance meter: the reading in big numbers on the 0.96" OLED, the zone at the top, and a bar that grows to 100 cm. Installs your first libraries.
All the parts in one sketch: zones on the LEDs, slow and fast beeps, a median filter, the OLED, and commands like test and sound off. Ends with a battery-powered demo.
A button starts a 20-second countdown on the OLED and a second press cancels it - the user-interface half of the fall detector, with no motion yet. Do Start here first.
The GY-521 learns which way is "upright" in 3 seconds, then the OLED shows how far you have tilted it from there - and flags 55°, the limit the main build uses.
Watch total g-force on a live graph and count every impact (above 2.5 g) and free fall (below 0.45 g). Choose the main build's limits from your own data.
Add the buzzer module (an optional add-on), powered from 3V3: an alert pattern the button acknowledges, with a 15-second time-out so it never runs for ever.
The main build: a jolt or drop followed by staying tipped over starts a 20-second countdown with beeps; the button cancels it, or a local alert sounds. A bench experimen…
Build the reviewed main project, capture four local calibration endpoints, and stream soil, water, temperature, humidity, pressure, and status data to Serial Monitor. Th…
Compare raw ADC readings across documented dry, damp, and wet samples of one soil type. Repeat probe depth and compaction, graph the results, and explain why the percent…
Mark several safe test depths, energize only long enough to record stable readings, then power down, rinse, and dry the tracks. Study repeatability and corrosion risk; d…
Measure temperature, relative humidity, and pressure near a plant while keeping the module dry and away from direct sun, water, fingers, and warm electronics. Compare se…
Capture the sketch's machine-readable DATA lines, import them into a spreadsheet, and chart how the references change after watering or as a test sample dries. Add times…
Characterize the buzzer's current, trigger threshold, and active level before choosing a transistor or driver. Write and compile a separate alert sketch only after the i…
Add networking only after the USB/Serial build is stable. Keep credentials out of shared code and review privacy, reconnection behavior, power, enclosure, and unattended…
