Projects

1. Digital Clock

Use the RTC clock module and 4-digit display or I²C LCD to show hours, minutes, and seconds. Keeps time even when power is off.

2. Scrolling Dot-Matrix Marquee

Drive the 8×8 LED matrix with the 74HC595 shift register to display moving text or simple animations.

3. Temperature & Humidity Station

Combine the LM35 and the digital temperature module to measure room conditions and show them on the LCD.

4. Countdown Timer

Set a starting time on the 4-digit tube, count down, and sound the buzzer when it reaches zero.

5. Event Logger

Log readings from sensors (light, temp, water) with real-time stamps from the RTC and view them on the LCD or a computer.

6. RFID Door Lock

Use the RFID module, keychain, and white card to unlock a door or box. A relay drives a latch or small motor.

7. PIN-Code Keypad Lock

The 4×4 keypad acts as a numeric PIN entry system. If the correct code is entered, a relay or servo activates.

8. Motion/Shake Alarm

Detect movement with the ball switch and sound the buzzer when the circuit is disturbed.

9. Flame/Smoke Alarm

The flame sensor monitors for fire; if triggered, a red LED and buzzer issue an alarm.

10. Light-Sensitive Safe

Use a photoresistor to detect if a box is opened (light enters) and trigger the buzzer or relay.

11. Stepper Motor Plotter

Control the stepper motor + driver board to move a pen or pointer along a path.

12. Joystick-Controlled Servo Arm

The XY joystick moves the 9 g servo to point or pan in two directions.

13. Automated Camera Pan

Slowly rotate a small camera or phone mount using the servo, ideal for time-lapse photography.

14. Stepper Motor Clock Hand

Rotate the stepper motor precisely, using the RTC to keep accurate time for a physical clock face.

15. Mini Conveyor or Turntable

Use the stepper motor to spin a small platform for displaying products or turning objects.

16. Remote-Controlled RGB Lamp

Change the color of the RGB LED module via the infrared receiver and remote control.

17. Sound-Activated Light Show

Trigger LEDs or the RGB module with music or claps using the sound module as input.

18. Game Controller Demo

Read the joystick inputs to move an object on the LCD or to control a servo in a simple game.

19. Simon Says Memory Game

Create a pattern-matching game with LEDs, the buzzer, and the 4×4 keypad for player input.

20. Water-Level Plant Monitor

Use the water test module to sense soil moisture and alert via LCD or buzzer when the plant needs watering.
