Smart Security Camera
IoT Raspberry Pi security camera running OpenCV for object detection. The camera will send an email with an image of any objects it detects.
PIDDYBOT
The PIDDYBOT is a small, open source balancing robot with the aim of teaching PID controls using a “hands on” concept.
The Coin Changer and Vending Machine
The coin changer needs the teacher’s RFID to let the coin fall. At most they can get 5 coins each time. The vending machine allows students to choose a product after they enter coins.
KITtyBot
A walking four legged robot “mammal style.” 3DOF legs, IR receiver all connected to a Pro Mini. Material cost less than $100.
myDryIceChimes
What do you get when you put together some wind chimes, a bunch of solenoids, a myRIO and a block of dry ice? Some very COOLmusic!
Arduino Sunflower
The sunflower follows the light using a servo motor and two photoresistors.
Raspberry Pi as a Robotic Arm Controller with Flick HAT
Control a robotic arm to pick up and move objects without having to touch anything! We will be using a Flick Board combined with a Raspberry Pi.
Laundry IFTTT Alert
Make laundry machines let you know when they are done, non-invasive automatic start with IFTTT call at end of cycle.
Remote and Voice Controlled Smart Fan
I use a fan for white noise while sleeping, but sometimes forget to turn it on before getting into bed. This will fix that.
Particle Asset Tracker
Send the GPS coordinates from your Particle Electron Asset Tracker kit to MySignal.io using MQTT.
SEER
SEER is a 9-inch hands-free wireless speaker with the integrated camera you control with your voice.
Wi-Fi Deauthing Sandals
A good starting point for learning about information security.
Monitor Your Front Door
Use a SparkFun ESP8266 Thing Dev and HC-SR04 to create a monitoring device that can make sure your door stays closed while you’re away.
Secure LoRaWAN Communication Using a TO136 Secure Element
Secure your LoRaWAN communications using a Raspberry Pi and a TO136 adapted for IoT application.
Water Leak Detector
The Water Leak Detector can monitor two specific locations for the presence of water and notify you via a local alarm or smartphone app.
PHPoC-Monitor Temperature & Humidity with Samsung IoT Cloud
Monitor humidity and temperature in your home: Send measured data from PHPoC to ARTIK (Samsung IoT) Cloud.
Smart Kettle with Alexa
Hacking a kettle on the market to bring Alexa (and as by-product IFTTT) connectivity.
Coffee Machine Water Level Detection with UDOO IoT CLOUD
Use the UDOO IOT CLOUD with UDOO NEO and a water sensor to detect when the coffee machine runs out of water.
Binary Clock with Arduino and Plywood
A timepiece that allows to stop and think about the essence of time, and also a fun project to build!
