Automated Mail Notifier

Image
Our thoughts regarding physical mail and posts is that it is diminishing over time. But, still some of our important documents are still sent through physical mail. Most of have a post box out of our house, and some live in an apartment and that also have an array of post boxes of houses. What if we don't check our mail box regularly? A gentlemen was not a big fan of Physical mail, and one day a tax bill was sent to his home and it was rested in the post box for about a month. This man was not aware of this and resulted him to pay the bill immediately with a penalty. If he checked the mail box he could have saved some amount of his money and his temper. That gentlemen wanted to have a solution for this, but he doesn't like to check that post box every time. So, if we have an Arduino we have the solution. This system notifies the user whenever there is a mail and hence avoiding the need to check for mail frequently. This project is based on RF module (RF Transmit

Cheap Heart Rate Monitor

Everybody want to be healthy, and people measure three main parameters to define them selves as healthy or not. Body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate are the very basic things we measure to in order to stay healthy. To measure the Heart beat rate we can simply hold ones wrist and measure but, it is not that practical. Other way is to use a heart rate monitor, but they are quite expensive. As hobbyist and engineers we planned to create a Heart rate monitor using Arduino. A Heartbeat sensor is used to create this Heart rate monitor. This project was brought to us by a Bio Medical enthusiast, and he wanted to go an extra mile with this project. The sensor used in this project is a Hearbeat sensor which is compatible with Arduino. Heart beat sensor is available in may of the devices that we use in our day to day activities such as wrist watch, smart phone, chest strap and etc. Heart beat sensor consist of two parts as shown in the figure below, This sensor have

Automated Liquid level controlling and monitoring system

Image
Plonnnaruwa is a remote in Sri Lanka and Water is very precious in that area. But, one of the student in Polonnaruwa noticed that a considerable amount of water is being wasted in houses through their water tank. So, he wanted to stop this wastage and he wanted an innovative approach to this problem. He presented his idea to Prototyping innovation and we have worked out designed a system to stop this wastage and save water. This system checks the liquid level of a tank and supply liquid to the tank when necessary. When the liquid level of the tank is low then the liquid is pumped to the tank automatically by opening the liquid inlet valve and vice versa. And, this system also measures the liquid level in the tank (centimeter), and the volume of the liquid inside the tank (liter), and when the liquid is filling in the tank the water level at that moment and also the liquid flow rate and it is displayed in the LCD attached to the system.  When the liquid level in the tank i

Next Generation Chopping Board for an Innovative Kitchen

Image
Pro-I (Prototyping Innovation) have researched to make food preparation easier, safer and more fun. There was one thing every household people use while food preparation and that is a  Chopping board.  We have put our ideas into paper and in process of designing a chopping board prototype design which can be folded and turns into a bowl and back again for transporting vegetables and meat safely to a pot or pan for cooking. Support our page for better and improved products  https://www.facebook.com/prototypeinn/ This design will be simple to use and easy to clean. Innovative kitchen for future tomorrow. Flat when laid on the table or floor and Ready to chop Simply fold from the handle and the board will turn into a bowl which can easily pour the chopped veges into a pan Product Sketching where we are strong at and it's our strength on sticking to the basics.
