Smart Junction Box using ESP8266

Home Automation has always been inspiring projects for most of us. Toggling an AC load from the comfort of our chairs or bed of any room without reaching for the switch in another room sounds cool doesn’t it!!, Thanks to the ESP8266 modules this idea can be easily implemented with subtle knowledge on electronics.

So in this IoT based project, this junction box's switches are connected with a ESP8266 based circuit board and enabled with internet. So you can toggle the switches with your cell phone or a computer with an internet connection from anywhere in the world.

Interesting? You can easily build this junction box with the detailed tutorial given here.

You can watch the demonstration video of this project on youtube:

DIY Arduino based Face Tracking Robot

In this project we are going to build a robot using arduino and android which detects and tracks the face. We have attached a camera phone so the mobile camera will move along with your face with the help of servos. The advantage of using the Android Mobile Phone here is that you do not need to invest on a camera module and the whole image detection work can be done in the phone itself, you do not need your Arduino connected to your computer for this to work. We can use a Bluetooth Module interfacing with Arduino to communicate with Mobile wirelessly.

You can build this robot by yourself following the instructions and detailed tutorial with circuit diagram, codes and files given here.

Watch the Youtube video below which shows how this face tracking robot works:

Arduino based Walking and Dancing Robot

Want to make a small cute tiny robot that can just walk and dance? If you have a 3D printer and an arduino, you can simply make this robot with this detailed DIY instructions on CircuitDigest.com

It takes command from an Android application to perform some pre-defined actions. You can also use the program (given at the end of the tutorial) to easily manipulate the actions of your very own robot by controlling the position of the servo motors using the Serial monitor. Having a 3d printer will make this project more interesting and look cool. But, if you do not have one you can use any of the online services or just use some cardboard to build the same.
