Arduino Projects

This is my collection of Arduino Projects. They are three categories;
1. For Starter
2: Intermediate
3: Final Year Projects (FYP's)                                            

 Starter: 

Get the latest version of free online software from www.arduino.cc and install it. Now its programming is very simple and easy as compared to C, C++, Java, Visual Basic & other programming languages. You can learn basics of arduino from http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage . All data related to arduino i.e. its programming, code with Visual examlpe is available here.
       Its simplest projects for starters are listed below:

• Smart phone Garage Door Opener. 
• Arduino street traffic light.
• Learn how to build a Talking Clock.
• A Telephone Ringer tailored for the hard-of-hearing
• ultrasonic range finder: distance measurement with 2.4 ftf and ultrasonic sensor

 Medium:

 If you know about basics of “Arduino” & have worked on it, then you can make these projects easily.

•         Ham Radio Transceiver
•         Hack your air conditioner and control room temperature with an Arduino 
•         MicroView: Chip-sized Arduino with built-in OLED Display!
•         Build a Robot Arm 
•        Build a Tiny Weather Display
•         Build a MIDI Controller
•         Add a Fingerprint Scanner to Your Garage Door Opener
  

Final Year Projects(FYP’s):   

Arduino is used as one of the most common entity in FYP’s for Electrical, Electronic, Telecom., Computer System & Communication engineering. So I’m going to show you some of its FYP‘s. These advanced projects are listed below

• Arduino Home Automation System
• Modify open source projects done with other micro-controllers like PIC, AVR, Basic stamp, PICAXE etc. to work with Arduino
• Make an IVRS phone system using a DTMF decoder, WAV or MP3 shield and a phone or a GSM shield
• Create a Fully Functional Computer Control Panel
• Arduino theremin using ultrasonic sensor or capacitive plates
• Monome
• Synthesizer
• Arduino Radio - a Software-Defined-Radio receiver on the Arduino Due
• Motion Tracking Turret
• Arduino SmartPhone Demo-SMARTGPU2
• Arduino Project Autopilot and Navigation waypoint*Autopilot and navigation waypoint
• Learning Maze Solver Robot
• Iphone controlled logging robot
• Energy efficiency/reporting: put current sensors on each circuit breaker in the AC panel and report usage/stats.
• Whole house climate control: Control HVAC and ceiling fans, watch for diffs between upstairs/downstairs, ceiling/floor and outside temps.
• whole house (mega) light and heat control or living room status with possibility to turn on the heat over the web(uno/older)
• UPS/power control system: Add power control and usage reporting to a normal UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
• µSpeech library with docs|Voice recognition library
• Use Arduino to collect and process position/weather/telemetry data and then output data strings serially into an amateur radio transmitter using APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System).
• Ham radio repeater controller with DTMF control.
• Arduino communication: Create robots with IR blasters and receivers that can "talk" to each other and tell one's "voice" from another's
• sudo make me a sandwich: A robot that makes a simple sandwich when "sudo make me a sandwich" is received over serial
• Bluetooth Controlled Car over Android
• Bluetooth remote controlled Arduino with WLAN web cam so you can create an awesome remote controlled car
• Using an Android phones Gyro to Control an RC Car over Bluetooth
• Video Library: A library for making images / pixels appear on a TV screen.
• Graphical calculator that graphs serial inputs on a graphical LCD.
• Hands-free mobile display to message other drivers, i.e., "Back Off!".
• Wifi controlled RC-Car
• Loading A ATmeta324 With Arduino Boothloader And Make a Bare Bones Arduino
• Chromatic musical instrument tuner
• Cycling computer
• LED Clock
• Remote controlled desktop missile launcher

How about a wireless RC car in a friend's living room in say Pakistan, operated by a girl in New York (or Dehli). Should be simple: girl uses keyboard to transmit instructions through Pakistan friend's computer. Pakistan Friend has a wireless transceiver that communicates to the RC car. How does she know what instructions to send? Easy way is Skype. Creative way are sensors, even cameras on RC car that comunicates back to her in NYC!

• Wii Nunchuk Computer Mouse using Arduino and AutoIt
• Build a radio controlled copter
• Create and build an MP3 jukebox, that is easy to see, use and operate (technologically impaired elderly parents). Use an SD card array to load music permanently. Provide visual feedback, song titles and audio driven menus.
• Build an NTP synchronized sidereal clock
• Arduino-based automatic control system for a tiny Ni/H fusion reactor
• Brewmigo|An All Grain Home Brewery using an Arduino Uno
• Automate your Chicken Coop
• Automatic trash can moving using integration between UNO and Kinect for Windows
• Universal Remote for media center
• Uno Controlled 2D Plotter.
