Arduino Color Sorter Project

In this article I will show you how you can make an Arduino Color Sorter. All we need for this project is one color sensor and two hobbyist servo motors, which makes this project quite simple but yet very fun to build it.  

How Rotary Encoder Works and How To Use It with Arduino

In this tutorial we will learn how rotary encoder works and how to use it with Arduino. A rotary encoder is a type of position sensor which is used for determining the angular position of a rotating shaft.  

Arduino and DS3231 Real Time Clock Tutorial

In this Arduino Tutorial we will learn how to use the DS3231 Real Time Clock Module.  

Arduino SD Card and Data Logging to Excel Tutorial

In this Arduino Tutorial we will learn how to use an SD Card module with the Arduino Board. Also in combination with the DS3231 Real Time Clock module we will make a data logging example where we will store the data of a temperature sensor to the SD Card and import it into Excel to make a chart out of it.  

Arduino Touch Screen MP3 Music Player and Alarm Clock Project

In this project I will show you how you can make an Arduino Touch Screen MP3 Music Player and Alarm Clock. The home screen features a big clock, date and temperature information, as well as, two buttons for the Music Player and the Alarm Clock.

In this Arduino tutorial we will learn how to make a wireless communication between two Arduino boards using the NRF24L01 transceiver module.  

8×8 LED Matrix MAX7219 Tutorial with Scrolling Text & Android Control via Bluetooth

In this Arduino tutorial we will learn how to control 8×8 LED Matrix using the MAX7219 driver and the Arduino board. We will make three examples, with the first one we will explain the basic working principle of the MAX7219 , in the second example we will see how the scrolling text on the 8×8 LED Matrix works, and in the third example we will control them via Bluetooth and a custom build Android application.  

How RFID Works and How To Make an Arduino based RFID Door Lock

In this tutorial we will learn what RFID is, how it works and how to make an Arduino based RFID door lock. RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification and it’s a non-contact technology that’s broadly used in many industries for tasks such as personnel tracking, access control, supply chain management, books tracking in libraries, tollgate systems and so on.
