anyone know codes for arduino bases alcohol sensor mobile app ?

message me [email protected]

Hey I m a computer student and I need a project related to my field but it should include ARDUINO board in it which means it should be 60% hardware and the rest software. Can you please suggest me some of my requirement ? If it is possible please notify me

In the 1950s Popular Electronics published an article for constructing what was then a rudimentary computer game. It consisted of 21 lights with a ‘player’ button and a ‘machine’ button. A player,,could light 1, 2, or 3 lamps, the “machine:” could then also light 1, 2, or 3, lamps, each taking turns. The object of the game was to avoid being forced into lighting the last, or 21st lamp The “machine” would invariably win.. It worked on the principle that within the number 21, there are 5 groups of 4, with 1 left over. The secret was that whichever the “player” chooses (1,,2, or 3), the machine will always chose a number that adds up to 4. ( If the “player” chooses 1,, -the “machine” chooses 3,. If the “player chooses 2,,,the “machine” will choose 2.. If the “player” chooses 3, the , “machine will choose 1) The combination always adds up to 4. The original game used a mechanical ‘stepping’ relay and ordinary pilot lamps. I am looking for someone to take this on as a project using LEDs and processors. (Arduino maybe?) Will be glad to answer any questions.

hiii..can you suggest me with a project where I can implement solar based light and ardinuo board both…..

And we want to hear about yours, too. Join us over on social media to share your favorite UNO projects, whether you built them yourself or marveled at someone else’s electronic creation.

The Toothbrush Machine

The queen of terrible tech Simone Giertz casually blew the internet’s mind back in 2015 with her robotic skateboard helmet with an automated toothbrush mounted on the front.

Arduino GRANDE

Spend more than five minutes Googling “Arduino UNO” and you’re bound to find yourself looking at the Arduino GRANDE . A fully operational UNO that’s six time bigger than it should be.

Coffee Printer

If you’ve ever left a coffee ring on your notepad or table top, you’ll appreciate how effective it is at leaving a mark. This UNO project put that annoying side effect of coffee to artistic use .

Autonomous “Follow Me” Cooler

Why carry your own beer and sandwiches around like a sucker, when you can “simply” connect a robotic cooler to your smartphone’s Bluetooth®, hook it up with GPS and let if follow you around .

Skeleton Arduino Uno

This Arduino UNO is its own project, which is so meta it’s impossible not to love it ! It’s a PCB without the PCB, and takes “open” source more literally than any other maker board has ever achieved.

Gaming Microwave

Microwave’s used to be considered the fastest way to cook things. But in today’s CPA-addled world, even one-minute noodles take too long. Problem solved ; game while you’re waiting.

This UNO project takes the concept of “everything is a drum” to new levels by turning devices like hard drives, floppy drives, scanners and more into a techno-orchestra .

pedalSHIELD UNO

This programmable guitar pedal built from an UNO lets you create all your own effects and digital sounds, with an ever-growing repository of pre-built effects from the Arduino music community.

Automated Dust Collection

Master maker and craftsman I Like to Make Stuff has created some incredible carpentry projects, and underneath it all is an Arduino UNO keeping his awesome workshop clean.

Useless Box

Useless machines are a wonderful maker project rabbit hole to fall down. This is a great example, and even though they’re useless, you can learn so much from building one. Which means it’s not actually useless, right?

Drumcube is a drummer in a box , so as long as you’ve got an Arduino UNO and a small box, you’ll always have someone down in the boiler room when you play at a gig.

Petoi Bittle

This highly maneuverable little palm-sized robot runs, jumps and plays to become your very own robotic pet. Some stunning design work, and it can even carry up to half a kilogram as it skips around !
