Bildr is Back!

From bildr.org 4 years ago in Blogs

You may have noticed that Bildr and the Bildr community has been a bit dormant over the last couple years. Well I am happy to announce that the site is being worked on, and new content is on the way!...

MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor, Breakout Board + Arduino

From bildr.org 7 years ago in Blogs

A lot has happened since our last article was published and to celebrate the continuance of bildr we’ll be playing with the MQ-3 Alcohol Gas Sensor. Coupled with the SparkFun Gas Sensor Breakout Board, connecting the MQ-3 to your Arduino...

Sensing Humidity With The SHT15 + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

The SHT15 is a digital humidity sensor that outputs a fully calibrated humidity reading. And… because what we are measuring is actually relative humidity, and relative humidity being relative to temperature, the SHT15 has a builtin digital thermometer. This makes...

The Big Easy Stepper Motor Driver + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

Stepper (or step) motors are really cool. They are perfect for automation or any time you need a motor to turn to a specific point, at a specific speed, in a specific direction. And, unlike typical motors, steppers are able...

Touch Sliders With A Softpot + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

You all know the potentiometer, you turn it, and you can read on your arduino where it was turned to. Well 3M makes a product called the softpot that is a linear touch potentiometer. So instead of turning a knob,...

Sensing Humidity With The HIH-4030 + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

Humidity is weird. Even though we experience it all the time, it’s not something we can normally guess with any accuracy. This is probably because when we talk about humidity, we are talking about relative humidity. Relative humidity is relative...

Sensing Weight With A Flexiforce + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

Felxiforce is a force sensor that is very similar to FSRs we just wrote about in principal. They change their resistance when you apply force to them. (The flexi part of the name is because they are flexible) Felxiforces are...

Force Sensitive Resistor + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

The Force Sensitive Resistor, or FSR is one of those parts that fills bins in interaction design labs across the world. It’s a simple guy, a finicky guy, but it has its place in the maker toolbox. A FSR is...

Proximity Sensing with the VCNL4000 + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

I’m not really sure why, but proximity sensors are some of my favorite things in the sensor world. Maybe because there are so many of them? Who knows. Whatever the reason, the VCNL4000 is another proximity sensor that caught my...

Simple Temperature With Thermistor + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

A Thermistor is a thermal-resistor. It’s just a simple device that changes it’s resistance based on temperature. If the LRD/Photoresistor is day of of arduino class. The thermistor should be day 1.01. (Can I do that?). If you need precise...

Sensing A Bend With A Flex Sensor + Arduino

From bildr.org 8 years ago in Blogs

We spend so much time talking about sensing things less mechanical, that is is easy to forget the accelerometer isnt the only part in town. The flex sensor is one of those parts often overlooked by the advanced user. But...
