Hackster’s Handpicked Projects of the Week Sep 21, 2018

Nox is a nice (and time-consuming) robot which uses SLAM (ROS) with a Kinect to navigate in its environment.

MKR WiFi 1000 talks to a car through OBD-II interface, and uploads the data to IoT cloud for real-time monitoring and post-processing.

Use a PIR sensor and Arduino to detect the motion of a hand. This detection can be used to operate electronic equipment.

An open source speaker made from a PCB.

A Raspberry Pi-powered Alexa device with a screen.

Amazing pick and place robot using Arduino and robotic arm — awesome new cool looking robot that can pick, place and move objects around it!

Create a robotic arm which can perform pick and place itms using object recognition.

A prototype for an Industrial IoT system to enhance warehouse/greenhouse monitoring using MKR GSM1400 and Hologram.

Use an infrared sensor to sense eye movements and control an LED.

Add that much needed remote temperature sensor wherever you want, no wall outlet required.

Internet-connected bathroom ventilator triggered by room humidity.

Line following robot with RFID sensor for supplying materials and automating workflow — cheap and open source.

No Blynk libraries for Bluz? No problem!

Monitoring 100 year old factory processes are hard, but it gets easier, safer and more reliable with a network of nRF24L01 RF transmitters.

Build a scale from an old one you have laying around. It works with Android notifications and logs your weight to Google Fit.

Let people see from outside your office when you’re on a video call or in a conference — or even on vacation.

Add distance and depth measurements regardless of lighting conditions to Donkey Car!

Remotely operated ground vehicle for sensing the toxic gases which is helpful for firefighters and researchers.

Use the DIY Universal CNC Machine v1.5 to decorate cakes using icing.

Transduce the 12 VAC to a digital switch attached to your favorite HW platform.

Why buy an arcade cabinet when you can build one! Our love for retro games lead to this somewhat unusual Arcade Cabinet/Retro Game Station.

A low-cost RC car and an Android app (free) that is able to control many of its features using a Bluetooth connection.

R2D2 toy shell brought to life using a Raspberry Pi Zero W.

Amazing modular open source system for learning, development and gaming!

BACH allows users to control a robot with visual and auditory feedback through the Internet, while providing breathing info from a Walabot to the caregiver’s phone and serving as a companion in their house.

This project uses an Arduino, a drawn keyboard using lead pencil, a paper, and a speaker.

Joystick and STM32duino controls RPi AIY board over serial console and Arduino decodes the MPC response to display song artist and title.
