grown at high speed. Also human lives have become much more dependent on electronic devices and appliances. It has thus led to the idea of developing a home automation system. This paper is about home automation system which would use a smartphone to enable any naïve user to operate all the appliances. The system has three components: an Arduino microcontroller for connecting the appliances, a ...

In his demonstration, the author discusses the sequential progress of his technical and aesthetic decisions as composer and videographer for four large-scale works for dance through annotated video examples of live performances and PowerPoint slides. In addition, he discusses his current real-time dance work with wireless sensor interfaces using sewable LilyPad Arduino modules and Xbee radio ha...

Nowadays technology has been used for numerous purposes and it is still possible to find applications and solutions not explored before that could bring benefits to part of the population that has not received attention from many researches yet. This paper aims to present the main needs of deaf-blind people, their demands and a proposal of a mobile solution to facilitate and expand interpersona...

Indoor environments are characterized by several pollutant sources. As people typically spend more than 90% of their time in indoor environments. Thus, indoor air quality (iAQ) is recognized as an important factor to be controlled for the occupants’ health and comfort. The majority of the monitoring systems presently available is very expensive and only allow to collect random samples. This wor...

Understanding the neural computations that contribute to behavior requires recording from neurons while an animal is behaving. This is not an easy task as most subcellular recording techniques require absolute head stability. The Go/No-Go sensory task is a powerful decision-driven task that enables an animal to report a binary decision during head-fixation. Here we discuss how to set up an Ardu...

Sistem pengaman pintu saat ini masih menggunakan kunci konvensional, pemilik rumah harus membawa banyak ketika akan bepergian dari dan seringkali lupa bahkan kehilangan kunci. Penggunaan konvensional juga mudah dibuka oleh pencuri, karena semakin berkembang cara pencuri untuk membuka rumah. Sehingga diperlukan yang lebih aman, praktis efisien, masalah tersebut penulis mempunyai gagasan mengemba...

Latencies of buttonpresses are a staple of cognitive science paradigms. Often keyboards are employed to collect buttonpresses, but their imprecision and variability decreases test power and increases the risk of false positives. Response boxes and data acquisition cards are precise, but expensive and inflexible, alternatives. We propose using open-source Arduino microcontroller boards as an ine...

Currently, obesity has become one of the major health concerns in the United States. A way to relieve this problem is creating fitness activities using the technology and tools available at hand. “Punching Pad” is a prototype that utilizes Scratch for Arduino software and the Arduino Board to make this possible. This device is not only considered a viable fitness activity, but also it could hel...
