Current Revision posted to Documents by kellyhensen on 5/28/2020 9:44:07 PM

Your Name: Vidya Mohanan

Where you live: Kerala, India

Did you attend university? Saintgits College of Engineering, MCA

Current Job: Software developer

What are your favorite electronics projects from element14 presents or youtube (they can be your projects or someone else's) - please provide links:

I like to watch, understand, and try projects based on robotics, embedded systems, and IoT.

One of the recent project from element14 presents which caught my attention is: Episode 438: Smartphone Controlled DIY Rover Using Websockets

Tell us about your project:

Motivation:

First of all. I would like to quote my audition tape here: Audition Tape for #badass Women Makers and Engineers Contest

After graduating and taking up a job, It has been a long time since I did an electronics-based project. So upon knowing about this awesome contest, I immediately made up my mind to get back into the world of electronics enthusiasts. We did a project based on Arduino Nano during our graduation period. It was a simple gesture controlled robot that will move a robot platform based on the hand and head gesture inputs from the user. The whole idea was to implement it wirelessly so that it can be controlled without the hassle of disturbing and messy wires. Even though we completed the basic project requirements, due to time and resource constraints, we were not able to succeed in realizing the wireless transmission part which we all looked forward to. This is still lurking in my mind which gave me the motivation to redesign the whole project from scratch and complete the whole project wirelessly without complex circuitry or hassle. This is developed as a simple lifehack which anyone with a basic understanding of hardware and software interfacing would be able to achieve. This lifehack and its upgrades can be implemented for a lot of applications such as industrial machine manipulation, teleoperated robots, bomb disposal units, precision robotics, etc. This project is just the tip of an iceberg to open a world with a lot of possibilities.

Introduction & Brief Overview:

The project is titled "A simple Gesture Controlled Robot" and it uses readily available day to day hobby utilities such as an RC toy car, a smartphone, a Raspberry Pi Zero, a MotorHAT, and a battery power source.

Let me give a simple graphic to understand the basic layout of the whole system.

The main parts of this system are the Robot and the Smartphone. There is a 2-way wireless communication between the robot and the smartphone.

The Robot boasts the following features:

Remote video streaming server
MQTT based message pipeline
MQTT broker hosting
DC Motor interfacing

The Smartphone contributes to the following:

Onboard sensor access for gesture recognition
Remote video streaming
MQTT based message pipeline

Tell us about your project:

My project is a Display with LEDs.

Besides scrolling text my project displays rotating borders and images.

All three functions can be accessed using 2 switches, so it is a four-state display.

The images displayed are easily created by using the links given below:

My question is: How do I automatically send the *.ino file to Arduino? When I download it to the computer I want Arduino to start running it. Do I need an Ethernet Shield?

Are there any links or files you'd like to provide that support your project? Code snips, 3d print files, etc.

What are your favorite electronics projects from element14 presents or youtube (they can be your projects or someone else's) - please provide links:

I have a lot of fun watching Colin Furze projects - they're not centred around electronics, but electronics do feature pretty heavily. He's a little crazy - his high voltage ejector bed project is very funny.

Tell us about your project:

It's a burpee counter. It uses an ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance of your feet when they kick back into a high plank. I had the idea because I've been exercising a lot at home with my sister and burpees often feature in the workouts! but she's complained about getting more out of breath by having to call them out to keep count... i thought this could help!

It's a pretty simple concept but seems to work reliably which is good!

Links or files you'd like to provide that support your project:

Yes - attached you'll find the schematic for my circuit and the python code!

How to Vote in the #badass Women Online Film Festival

kellyhensen — Wed, 20 May 2020 16:05:26 GMT

Current Revision posted to Documents by kellyhensen on 5/20/2020 4:05:26 PM

The element14 #badass Women Engineers and Makers Film Festival is open and we’re looking for input from our members on which videos should win!

Voting is limited to element14 members - so you have to register or log in to vote.

There are two ways to vote for your favorite video:

"Like" the document that features the builder's video
Share the specific content on social media

While you only have the ability to "Like" a video once, you can share that same video as many times as you'd like across various social media platforms. Each "Like" and each "share" constitutes one vote apiece, so share your favorite builder's video as much as you can in order to rack up more votes and help her win the grand prize! Sharing on social media is a great way to expand your outreach and drum up excitement for your favorite video.

Content creators and fellow tech enthusiasts, want to earn even more votes? Use your social media channels to encourage your followers to visit the element14 Community and "Like" your work. We won't judge you for pestering grandma to vote for your video. But she can only vote once for your video!

After voting closes on May 29, we will tally up all of the "Likes" and shares for each video and determine the winners. A total of 10 winners will be announced on June 2. Consideration will be given to Community Member voting, but final decisions will be made by element14 Judges. As per the terms and conditions for this contest,

Judging Criteria: All of the following which will have equal weighting:

- Build a working, useful life hack project featuring Raspberry Pi or Arduino showing off your engineering and electronics skills;
- Create an engaging video that shows the progression of creating the project that is entertaining as well as instructive;
- Presenter should demonstrate enthusiasm for electronics and engineering, authenticity, originality and character.

Return to #badass Online Film Festival

Please note: In the past we have had issues with contestants gaming the system by having friends and family create multiple accounts to vote. Our system allows a variety of checks to ensure that we know who voted for your video and if there are “duplicate” accounts involved. If this happens, it will result in disqualification.

My project is to hack a landline telephone using a raspberry pi and set it up as an internal comms device in my house. I like the idea of hacking an old piece of tech with a new one and really loved hacking the telephone buttons for this project.

The project using a mumble server run on one of the raspberry pis, the two pis are clients. They are actually communicating all the time but have their microphones turned off.

When phone A lifts up its receiver and presses a button it turns on its microphone and phone B will hear it.

"Automatic Dispenser System" can be used to dispense sanitizer or soap automatically when the user places his/her hand near it.

It is a weapon against Coronavirus in these unusual times and also fun to use in daily routine.

I have used an Arduino UNO, IR sensor and DIY Water Pump to make this dispensing system with all other components picked up from my kitchen and some from home decors (such as the DC Motor i used to build the Water Pump).

This is also my first project video i have shared online. It was a lot of effort and passion put into few minutes when we watch a video ( i realized that making this).

Tell us about your project:

It's a catapult alarm clock! what better way to wake up than to have a catapult launch a remote control necessary to turn off the infernal buzzer blaring in your ears across the room. This project uses an Arduino uno, rtc, ir remote, dc motor, buzzer and of course a catapult made from household materials to make your mornings a little more interesting. This is my first time documenting a larger project, so hopefully, it makes sense and you learn about things besides my hatred of buzzers and desire to somehow make a servo work on the catapult.

Arduino uno

6 aa batteries

Battery pack with jack

2 npn transistors

Diode

3 220 resistors

Turning on lights in your home by flipping a switch with your hand can be quite a chore! In this project, I create a touch-free experience by enabling a motion sensor to control smart home devices. My project combines a Raspberry Pi, PIR motion sensor, and IFTTT to create a touch-free smart home experience.

Your project:

I reverse engineered a USB device in order to make a clone of it using a Teensy.

I wanted to use an expensive theatre lighting controller, but couldn't afford it. So I hired one for a weekend, packet sniffed the USB protocol, and made my Teensy spoof the original device so that the official software would talk to it.

In the video I've tried to explain a bit about how USB works, as well as show the complete process I went through to clone the device. Hopefully this is something a little different, but still of interest to the Element14 core audience!

Will provide code on request. I've got some stuff on GitHub at the moment but it needs tidying up before I'm happy to publicise it!
