Based on the RGB and Gesture APDS-9960 sensor, equipped with integrated anti-UV and IR filters, four separate diodes sensitive to different directions, and an I2C compatible interface, this small breakout board allows obtaining light and color measurements, proximity and motion detection without contact at a distance from 10 to 20 cm.

Overview

With this RGB and Gesture sensor, you will be able to control a computer, microcontroller, robot, and much more with a simple hand gesture!

The usage pins are as follows: VL (optional IR LED power supply), GND (Ground), VCC (3.3V power supply), SDA (I2C data), SCL (I2C clock), INT (interrupt).

Attention! The breakout operates at 3.3V. Bidirectional communication with 5V devices requires a level shifter.


Tech specs

  • Power supply: 3.3 volts
  • Interface: I2C
  • Detection distance: 10-20 cm.

PROJECT HUB
Arduino Bluetooth Tank
Arduino Bluetooth Tank
Project Tutorial by mastoras_inc

I'm excited to share the details of my BT Arduino Tank project, which incorporates some impressive 3D-printed components. While the main chassis of the tank was not 3D-printed, I utilized this technology to create two crucial parts: the enclosure for the motor driver and the compartment housing the remaining electronics. Additionally, I 3D-printed a cannon for an added touch of customization. The enclosure for the motor driver served as a protective housing, ensuring that the L298N motor driver module was securely mounted and shielded from external elements. By designing and 3D-printing this part, I could precisely fit it to the tank's specifications, providing a neat and organized arrangement of the electronics. In the same vein, the compartment for the remaining electronics, such as the Arduino Nano Every and the HC-05 Bluetooth module, was also 3D-printed. This enclosure offered a clean and organized solution for housing these components, safeguarding them while maintaining easy access for maintenance or modifications. Lastly, to enhance the tank's appearance and add a touch of personalization, I designed and 3D-printed a cannon. This custom-printed cannon perfectly complemented the overall design, making the tank even more visually appealing. By strategically incorporating 3D printing into specific parts of the project, I achieved a balance between functionality and customization. The precision and versatility of 3D printing allowed me to create tailored enclosures and a unique cannon, elevating the overall aesthetic and practicality of my BT Arduino Tank project.

Arduino Nano Every brings Knight Rider sound effects to Knight Rider RC car
Arduino Nano Every brings Knight Rider sound effects to Knight Rider RC car
February 14, 2023

KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) was a fictional car based on a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am in the Knight Rider television series. KITT featured an artificial intelligence, voiced by the legendary William Daniels, and some iconic styling. Savall21 built a replica RC KITT and used Arduino boards to add sound and light effects that he can trigger with the RC transmitter. This is a custom RC car created by Savall21 using a Tamiya TT-02 kit and a resin 3D-printed body shell. The controller/transmitter is a Jumper T18, which has a customizable touchscreen interface. Savall21 programmed his own widget for that touchscreen. It mimics the fictional KITT control panel and lets the user select different sound effects and activate the iconic headlights. The T18 sends commands to an FrSky XR8 radio receiver located in the car. The FrSky receiver communicates with two Arduino Nano Every boards via the S.Port. The first Arduino controls the sound effects, which play through a DFPlayer Mini MP3 player module. The FrSky receiver simply sends a numerical code to the Arduino, which then activates the corresponding audio clip. The second Arduino drives a strip of WS2812B individually addressable RGB LEDs for the headlights and taillights. The user can control the headlights directly, while the taillights automatically come on any time the throttle is below 50%. For fans of Knight Rider and RC vehicles, this is the ultimate project. The car looks fantastic and the Arduino effects add polish to the build.
