Adding smart control to a greenhouse is easy with a MIAC industrial controller from MatrixTSL. Although this example project uses the Raspberry Pi® MIAC, you could also use the dsPIC® MIAC or the Arduino® MIAC to help create the perfect growing conditions for your vegetables.
The MIAC is designed to measure and control all sorts of equipment that can help you making a smart greenhouse. For the temperature and humidity you can buy a single sensor to give you the output voltage for the MIAC to switch on a light or heating element if the greenhouse is too cold – or alternatively, open the ventilation if the temperature is too high.
In this tutorial, a spy rover controlled through Bluetooth is designed. It is a surveillance robot which will be used to monitor and keep watch of areas not easily accessible by humans. Surveillance is the process of monitoring a situation, an area or a person. It is generally practiced in a military scenario where surveillance of borderlines and enemy territory is essential to for the country’s safety.
Like Line following robots are fun, making a wall following robot is even more exciting. A wall following robot is designed to move along a wall without hitting it. It has obstacle detection sensors mounted on the body which detects wall and drive DC motors attached to the wheels such that the robot keeps moving along the wall.
Intel hosted the NASA Frontier Development Lab (FDL) Wrap-Up Event at the Santa Clara Campus, thereby concluding an 8-week summer program. As a key partner of FDL, Intel provided support to the ongoing research that is exploring the use of AI to solve a range of challenges within the fields of space weather, space resources, and planetary defense.
Robots are designed to ease and automate the work of humans. They are useful to deploy at places which are not easily accessible. In this tutorial, a humidity and temperature monitoring rover based on IoT's robotic application is designed. Humidity and temperature are the most common physical environments that are needed to be monitored.
The Push-Pull is a DC to DC converter which uses a transformer for changing the DC power. The output voltage of push-pull converter is either less than or greater than the input supply voltage. It is one of the topologies of the Switched Mode Power Supply so it works on the principle of switching regulators. In Push-Pull converter, the current is drawn in both halves of the switching cycle contrary to other converters like Buck-Boost or Flyback converter. This gives a more steady current at the output. 
A Flyback Converter is like a Buck-Boost DC to DC converter which provides the output voltage either less than or greater than the input supply voltage. It is one of the topologies of the Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) so it works on the principle of switching regulators.
Coffee is one true love for every heart that pumps their blood in hard work, want to escape the boredom from all tedious work or push the limits to meet the deadline. This tutorial by Arduino Project hub allows you to solve the puzzle arising out of diverse capsules, placed in a different jar and then have no idea which color to pick.
A robot can be controlled wirelessly in many different ways. The wireless control for a robotic vehicle can be implemented via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or RF. A wireless robot controlled over Bluetooth can have HC-05 Bluetooth module interfaced in its circuit by which it can pair with any other Bluetooth device.
