Practical Processes on Arduino

Appliance Remote Control

One of the simple functions of many smart homes is regulating electricity to devices. These may be lamps, a boiler, a ventilation system, or just about everything else that works on the mains supply. The dilemma, of course, is that it's risky to play with mains-level electricity directly, and you might also be in breach of the specific design codes if you really don't have the requisite credentials. This program utilizes a multi-purpose device remote control that you can purchase from a nearby hardware store. It can be quickly updated to connect it to an Arduino for program control of tools within your home, without having to access any main power-level circuitry.

Time-Lapse Camera Controller

Basic digital cameras can deliver surprisingly high-quality images and are now inexpensive enough that it shouldn't affect the pocket too much to purchase one with the aim of changing it for use in a task. You might also have an outdated compact camera sitting somewhere that you do not mind sacrificing for a worthwhile purpose!

Virtual USB Keyboard

Granting your Arduino the freedom to appear to be a joystick, mouse, or keyboard creates a new range of options as it implies your Arduino will now communicate with functionality that was never meant for automatic operation by an intelligent device. This may be desktop applications, like a web browser and a game. For instance, your Arduino can "type" into a web page and send without your behest or serve as a personalized control for a game.

PS/2 Keyboard or Mouse Input

Arduino isn't confined to receiving input from only sensors: you can also link an entire-size PS/2 keyboard exactly as though it were a "real" type away and computer! It might seem a little strange to attach a keyboard to an Arduino (because it's a small microcontroller) but know that an Arduino probably has more computing memory and power than a full desktop computer. Any intriguing options open up by incorporating any peripherals that you would usually equate with a full-size system.

Security/Automation Sensors

For all kinds of things, like home control systems, immersive art exhibitions, and even surveillance systems, security device sensors such as motion reed switches, detectors, friction mats, a conductive film, infrared beams, and glass-break detectors can be very useful!. Nearly all protection device sensors have a basic controlled output that adjusts the state depending on when the sensor was triggered, which ensures that they function just like a switch that is auto-triggered when attached to a circuit. This makes it incredibly simple for them to link to an Arduino to interpret their condition.

Online Thermometer

For data collection and tracking systems, Arduino provides a fantastic building block, like sensors widely found in smart buildings, like temperature sensors. Also, you can mount sensors within your home or workplace by integrating Arduino and some other DS18B20 temperature sensors and view a current update with the use of an internet browser.

Water Flow Gauge

It can be trickier than it sounds to calculate the usage of a resource expressed in units of volume.
