Customer Projects

Check out these projects built by our customers.  They range from data logging, to animatronic displays, to projects that mess with your cat.

I hope you’ll find the following projects as interesting as we do!

Arduino Parallax Shield Bot – Version 1 :: Member Project

Arduino robots with wheels – it’s a great way to move.  But what about getting a robot to jump?  The wheeled robot featured below is the first iteration of what will become a jumping robot. Below is a short log…

Automated Plant Watering with Arduino Nano :: Member Project

Check out this Arduino project by Programming Electronics Academy member Jeffrey Secunda.  He used an Arduino Nano and a pump to create an automated watering system for his balcony plants. The Project I have a balcony off my bedroom that…

Arduino Strong-Hand (Scary Movie 2 Tribute)

“Take my little hand! It’s made from an Arduino!” You may be familiar with CosPlay and the world of Comic-Con.  One of our members, Bill Byrd, helped a friend going to a Comic-Con convention by adding an Arduino system with…

Arduino RGB Guessing Game :: Member Project

What is a cat’s favorite color? Purr-ple! While that pun may not be amazing, Tony’s Verduga’s Arduino RGB guessing game is! We love to see Arduino used in fun ways, and Tony (a member of Programming Electronics Academy) shows us…

Arduino Transducer Tester :: Member Project

What better use of Arduino than to solve problems?  One of our academy members, Nigel Moody, wanted to make sure that the transducers he was changing out at work were actually the source of the problem.  (A transducer is essentially…

Arduino Linear Actuator Control :: Member Project

Ever need to measure something within a thousandth of an inch?  Repeatedly? For Bill Dohm (a member of Programming Electronics Academy), he found using a tape measure to be less accurate as he would have liked. So to solve this…

Arduino Solar Power Control System :: Member Project

When Ray Johnson installed his new solar electric system, he was excited about the ability to implement this to use solar energy for his home. However, he was in for a sunny surprise when he discovered that he either did…

Arduino Sugar Fill Machine :: Member Project

They say that a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. But what’s even better than a spoonful of sugar? A spoonful of sugar that fills up automatically! That’s what Henry made with his Arduino project that makes pouring…

Arduino Animatronic skeleton co-pilot B.O.N.E.S. :: Student Project

Who doesn’t need an Arduino controlled, battery operated, navigational, electronic sidekick that happens to be a skeleton? Well, I guess most of us…but not Dan Massey! He took a skeleton, made its head mobile, and turned it into a riding…

Arduino Smart Living Project and Winner of Arduino Day Community Challenge :: Student Project

Davor Sijanovic and his students recently won the World Arduino Day Community Challenge in the category Kids and Education, with their project “Our view of smart living” – which is a mock up of what a technological future could look like.  Congrats…
