Woah now this is a cool one . A hoodie for all the music lovers i must say. A simple way of amazing people with your jacket which lights up when you touch it. A really good use of Arduino. Check the Project out Link to the project: Click Here
If you plan to measure the distance you can always use a cheap infrared distance sensor like Sharp GP2Y0A02. It is really easy to make an interface to it using Arduino. Link to the project : click here
Description: This project can be used for data logging. It has got 6 channel digital voltmeter with serial RS232 communication to interface with PC. This project utilizes 6 10bit on board ADC of the AVR micro controller. Micro controller: AT90S4433 For more details click: http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/mirrors/zl1bpu/micro/SerialDVM/AVRDVM.htm
Description: This project describes how to build a simple wireless RF Temperature transmitter which uses TXM-433 module ,AVR micro controller and the PC side consists of SILRX-433 (Receiver) connected to PC via RS232 port. RF Temperature transmitter sends six bytes of data at fixed interval. Module measures three temperature values, light level at photocell and [...]
Description: One of SMD soldering techniques is using a reflow soldering oven. Reflow soldering technique is used when it is impossible to solder components by hand. These may include ball grid arrays (BGA), small pitch quad flat packs. Or simply solder any SMD element to make board look professional and smooth. Soldering oven controller is [...]
