In this post, I will show you how you can use a moisture sensor with arduino to measure the moisture/water content of a place. This can be used to sense rainfall in smart weather sensors, water content of the soil for smart irrigation projects etc. Arduino can be easily programmed to work with this moisture…
What make this Arduino popular among Electronics hobbyists and enthusiast? Of course they are compact with so many input and output pins, digital and analog input and output support, support for various serial communication protocol etc. but all this things are supported by various other microcontroller boards. But, the real reason why Arduino is on…
Have a smartphone in your hand? How about controlling your home appliances by using it? Awesome right? All you need is a Smartphone with ‘Arduino Remote LITE’ installed, and a basic Bluetooth Arduino kit with a relay board. This will enable you to control all the devices in your home using a few taps. This…
Hey guys in this post I will show show you how you can easily install raspi-config in any OS inside Raspberry Pi. Once you burn the image onto an SD card and insert it into the Raspberry Pi you have to do some initial configuration like logging into an account automatically, enable ssh, expand file…

A few weeks back we published a tutorial “Home Automation using Raspberry Pi” in rootsaid.com which was well received among hobbyists and college students.This time, we are building a more secure and stable Ubidots Home Automation – The Global Cloud Network for IoT. What is Ubidots? Ubidots provides a simple and secure method for sending…
This is the second part of the Spinel Crux Tutorial – Gesture Controlled Robot for wireless surveillance. In this series, we will build a robot which can travel through rough terrain that can be controlled using hand gestures. Gesture Controlled Robot Tutorial To control the robot, we will be using the control gloves, which will…
In this series, we will build Spinel Crux, a Gesture Controlled Robot which can travel through rough terrain and can be controlled using hand gestures. To control the robot, we will be using control glove, which will have an accelerometer and a flex sensor to control the status and the direction it should move. The…
Welcome to our new DIY series – Spinel Crux – A DIY Advanced Hand Gesture Control Robot using Raspberry Pi for Wireless Surveillance Project. Yes, of course, building and tinkering with a DIY robot is fun. In this series, we will build a Raspberry Pi Rover Robot which can travel through rough terrain and control…
Here, I will explain how to get up and running with the BBC microbit Microcontroller. We will start up with some basic example such as blinking lights, pushing button before moving onto some advanced things with it. micro:bit MicroController If you haven’t heard or seen of micro bit, is basically a microcontroller Platform designed by…
As a hobbyist and and electronic enthusiast, you might have heard of Servo Motors and their application. Servo Motors are used in robotics as well as automation projects in home and offices. They are used in door locks, aeroplane wings, robotic hands and they have countless other applications. Using Servo Motors you will have precise…
