  Automatic Flush System So, you must have seen the automatic flush systems in hotels and airport bathrooms and probably found it very easy not to flush every time, avoiding touching the dirty flush button and keeping your hands clean. I wished to have a system like that to make it trouble-free.  So, I searched for it online, but it was quite expensive. Then, I realised I could make it myself. I just have to do some study, and I'll make it like a piece of cake. So, I did some research and found the perfect sensor for it, the best whole system in total.  So, I ordered the components, and I started working on it.  I decided to use an Arduino Uno board, a 5V relay, a Sharp IR Sensor and a solenoid valve. I made the circuit, wrote the code, designed and laser-cut the box, assembled the whole thing, and installed it. It works great!!! Here are the steps and some stories: Components: Arduino Uno Board 5V Relay Sharp IR Sensor 12V Solenoid Valve Female DC Power Jack Socket ...

Making a 3D printed 11000mAh Power Bank  Contents: 1) My story 2) Power Bank Making Instructions 1) My Story: Recently, I was looking for parts for another project when I found a video about making a homemade power bank with simple 3.7V batteries. I clicked on it and got excited because I needed a power bank for my classes and when I’m out. The video .   After watching, I saw links to the parts I needed and ordered them along with my other components.   When the parts arrived, I connected the circuit and tested it. It worked perfectly! After watching the video again, I noticed the creator did not cover everything and made a temporary version of the power bank. I   wondered why it had to be designed this way, so I decided to create my own case and 3D print it.    First, I measured the parts. The power bank would be large because of the battery size. I chose not to use the basic Tinkercad software for the design. Instead, I downloaded Fusion 360 to learn some...

 Creating a Home Automation Project Using Xiao board and Wi-Fi You must've read one of my previous blogs where I used a Xiao ESP32C3 board to control an LED using Arduino IoT Cloud's dashboards using the integrated wi-fi of the board. This blog is about the next step. In this blog, we'll learn how to actually integrate it in our home. We'll be using the Arduino IoT Cloud's dashboard. What you'll need: A XIAO ESP32C3 board and its cable A single-channel relay The circuit from inside an AC-DC 5V adapter A light bulb holder 7-8 electrical wires A zero PCB 2 screw connectors Some wires  A 10x10x5 cm box with screw connecting pillars Tools: Screw driver Computer/PC/Laptop Soldering gun and its accessories Instructions: 1) First, take your  XIAO ESP32C3 board and its cable and connect it to your computer. Open  Arduino IoT Cloud on your browser. We're first going to set up our  XIAO ESP32C3 board.  2) Do all the necessary steps to sign in to Arduino Cloud. After ...
