In my previous blog , I had shown the physical sytem containing a mirror mounted on two axis gimbal. Now, to know where we are pointing, we need sensors on each axis (azimuth and elevation).
Sensor integration:
For elevation, I used the Grove 3-axis…
This blog will discuss the integration of the required materials stated in Blog #2 and Blog #3 . Below are the steps for integrating all the materials to develop our Seeeduino SAMD21-based Indoor Caron Dioxide Monitoring Device.
Prepare the required…
In part 3, we shall see the software that we use for this project and test each of the sensors individually before connecting them together.

Safety from forest fire
I would like to design the “Safety from forest fire” device with the design challenge kit. As we know there are major problems with forest fire in many countries so there is a need to improve in technology to save the forests…
To make mirror move in azimuth and elevation, I needed to mount it on a gimbal with those degrees of freedom. I figured that the wood would be easier to work with than metal. Also, I don't have a 3D printer which means I can't build it using plastic and…
The software used for programming Seeeduino XIAO are explained in this
Software
Step 1. Open Codecraft , add Arduino support, and drag a main procedure to working area.
NOTE
If this is your first time using Codecraft, see also Guide for…
Materials required
Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21
Computer
USB type C cable
Steps:
Step 1. Prepare a Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 and a Type-C cable.
Step 2. Connect the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 to your computer. Then the Green power…
The basics idea on developing project for summer tech design challenge is detailed in this blog.
COAL FIRE PREVENTION AND MONITORING DEVICE
In present days coal is the major source to get electric energy and widely used in many countries. To protect…
The hardware kits used in the current project was detailed as follows
1) Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21
The Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 is the smallest member of the Seeeduino family. It carries the powerful ATSAMD21G18A-MU which is a low-power microcontrollers…
As students, parents, and educators alike become increasingly aware of the importance of indoor air quality, one aspect often overlooked is the role of carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring in classrooms. While the term "indoor air quality" typically brings…
Oh wait! Didn't I mention the toolchain to program the Seeeduino XIAO in Materials section in my previous blog ?! How are we going to program the Seeeduino XIAO?
Well, the obvious choice would be to use Arduino IDE since it has all the tools that are…
Aim: Design and build sun ray bender device that will reflect light into chosen locations throughout the day
Objectives:
Design mechanical frame, gimbal and gearing including loading considerations from the mirror
Draw up architecture to interface…
Introduction
Here we are finally at this last blog. The aim of this work is to create a simple home monitoring system, using the kit offered by Seeed Studio.
In previous blogs I told how I started using the XIAO SAMD21 and the sensors in the kit.…
After going through a long process, this innovation was successfully created. Hopefully, this tool can significantly benefit many people, especially coffee farmers, to monitor the excellent climate for coffee plants. The following is an overview of the…
Introduction
Hi, in this fourth blog, I would like to test the how of the XIAO SAMD21 works when we connect more than one sensor. In previous works we have seen how this very small board can manage, ,one by one all 5 sensors included in the contest…
Hello Guys, I will share my experience in the hardware and case assembly process for the Climate Change Monitoring System. To create a 3D design of the casing, I used Tinkercad software
Before printing, I used the Ultimaker Cura slicer software to…
Cool Wave is a simple system that can be constructed by almost anyone in almost any location to mitigate the effects of a heatwave. It does this while avoiding the carbon emissions caused by using traditional air conditioning.
This final Summer of Green…
This blog post summarises the Cool Wave firmware. My focus for the project was to make it as accessible and extensible as possible, and this extends to the firmware. This affected my choice of language and the style of the code.
The firmware is written…

Introduction
Hi, in this blog I want to test the other sensor boards that I've received as part of the kit, I'll start with the temperature sensor board
Infrared Temperature Sensor
I used the information on the page: Grove - Infrared Temperature…
Now comes the part of the build where everything visually starts to come together.
The idea of the Cool Wave project is that it can be instilled over any opening to a property. This may be a window, ventilation hole, or even a cat flap (subject to the…
After all the testing and prototyping of the project parts it is time to assemble them together. In this blog post I will quickly cover the components that we are using and assemble them all into a working prototype.
In this blog post I will cover the…
