Old fashioned meets new power in Venture Hub’s newest highlights!

It’s again to high school! Whether or not you’re a scholar or not, Arduino’s Venture Hub is a good place to by no means cease studying, because of the wealth of data, experiments, and plain cool concepts our neighborhood so generously shares. The three highlights we’ve chosen among the many initiatives uploaded in June certainly all have one thing to show us… with one helpful lesson in widespread: the previous has lots to supply, if we take the time to recharge, rediscover or revamp it just a bit!

This tutorial is so clear it may well make anybody really feel able to constructing their very own charger – with extra functionalities comparable to figuring out battery put on. Batteries at all times should be dealt with with care, however when you’ve got the talents to customise code and solder a circuit in response to the schematic supplied, extra energy to you! All you want are an Arduino Nano and some different widespread parts.

This isn’t only a challenge, however a beautiful deep-dive on wi-fi communication the place you’ll study in regards to the ISM band, ASK modulation, and synchronous and asynchronous demodulation. Extra importantly, you would possibly rediscover the “less complicated and older radio frequency gadgets and schemes” which might be excellent to save lots of assets on smaller initiatives. On this case, they are going to be all it’s worthwhile to implement wi-fi communication interfacing a Nano with a 433 MHz RF module.

Time and date, timer and alarm, but in addition detailed temperature knowledge and even the climate forecast: you’ll be able to have it multi function clock! With this challenge, Venture Hub person dzh121 improved upon a earlier model of theirs by including a touchscreen and displaying extra info. A powerful gadget that makes nice use of Arduino IoT Cloud-based dashboards. 

In your likelihood to be chosen for a $100, $300 and even $500 present card to spend on the Arduino Retailer, submit your finest challenge on the Venture Hub! We will likely be awarding three new entries each month, as detailed within the full phrases and situations. Good luck!
