in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
I made a prototype of a very basic type of burglar alarm using Arduino.
Here's what it does:
ā¢ The system begins in an UNARMED state with the green light on. The user can turn on the burglar alarm system by pressing a button.
ā¢ While ARMED, if it detects an object using the ultrasonic sensor, it alarms the homeowner (via a red light- it would be a high-pitched alarm in real life)
ā¢ The owner can then decide to push one of the buttons to disarm the system (turning on the green light)
It's pretty simple but it's a good project if you are just getting into #arduino and playing around with microcontrollers.
PS: If you want the code to this one, comment below.

Youtube Subscriber counter ā
Time Spent~ 20 hrs
It displays the count of my youtube subscribers in real-time (sort of, explained below). It's connected to wifi, controlled using Arduino, and can work without the need for a computer as long as I power it via a 5V charger.
It began as a mini weekend project and extended to more than that. It made me use programming, hours of talking to ChatGPT, troubleshooting, getting youtube API to talk, and whatnot.
Finally, I am happy that I got it up and running. It has been running for a day now and works perfectly.
The only not-so-good thing about it is that youtube only updates its API after every 10 subscriber changes. So, the next time it will change will be when I hit the '2140' mark.
Now, I will be designing and 3D printing an enclosure (case) for this so it can nicely sit on my desk.
Do you want me to make a video on this?

This desktop-sized robot costs more than $1200!
I have been working on this SCARA robot for the last few days.
Why does it cost so much?
The 4 motors that you see here are a special type of motor (DYNAMIXEL) that houses a DC Motor + Controller + Driver + Sensor + Reduction Gear + Network all-in-one housing. This is an exclusive type of motor that is often used in robots.
What's in the name 'SCARA'?
Well, it's a name given to a type of robot that can only move in X-Y direction and are rigid in the Z-direction. That allows them to enter a confined working area and 'fold-out' of it when done.
Have you ever worked with a SCARA robot?

If you have ever built a #robot or intend to do so in the future, one of the questions that pop up is what motors/actuators should I use? This depends on the forces & torques the robot will experience.
It might look intimidating but it really isn't. Doing a force/torque analysis is easy and in this video, I have tried making it easier with a more intuitive approach.

I just coded my first robotic app. It's a simple 3R robot that can be played with by changing its joint angles by turning knobs.
WATCH the next video on INVERSE KINEMATICS of robots for this app (& source code).

Behind the scenes of the next video. Putting a little effort into the background does make a lot of difference. Here's the before and after doing a few changes.

De-mystifying Engineering using bite-sized videos.
I take on a topic heads-on and break it down into digestible chunks for you to follow along and learn. It's simple, straightforward, and no-rocket science.
Learn and Enjoy!
