Hi everyone! My name is Mikey. I have owned an Arduino for a while now and made some projects with it but I am out of inspiration! here are the parts the I have Real Time Clock Module LCD I2C Display some 8 Digit Display Arduino Giga Arduino Uno R3(x2) UltraSonic Distance Sensor(x4) Wires RFID-522 Key card Sensor ESP32 ESP8266 Bluetooth Module HL-83 Rain Sensor Arduino Giga Display A Laptop(for coding) DC Motor w/ Encoder(x2) Servo DC Motor(x2) Door latch solenoid Relays(x10) Batteries Nuts n' Bolts Cardboard(for mounting) MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor Rocker Switch(x10) Push Button(x20) potentiometer(x2) Buzzer(no idea how to use it) IR Remote IR receiver FingerPrint Sensor I hope all of you can help me find a project to make with these. I also have a budget of about $50 that I would be willing to spend on more supplies but generally I think I would like to make something with these. the buzzer that I listed earlier just clicks when I send power to it. I think I'm just sending to much but I'm not entirely sure! Thanks you prior!, Mikey *

I have had 3 for a month and have ran out of ideas too! The projects in the kits got boring and project hub uses components I don't have.

With the buzzer you need to generate a frequency using the Arduino.

I made 5 of these a while back, quite useless. [5 Useless Boxes] [image] [image] Share tips you have come across General Electronics Project construction life cycle When you start designing an Arduino project from start to finish, you need to have a plan. Once you have decided what you want to make, scale drawings and component selection is a must. For scaled drawings, a 3D computer program like ‘Sketchup Make’ is great but there is a learning curve that you must achieve. There are lots of YouTube Videos you can review to gain the skills needed to draw your scaled drawing. Here we will be making a ‘Useless Box’ designed a…

not exactly what I'm looking for. I want something I can impress my friends with!

here is my overcomplicated chasing led code if you want it. /* Blink Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly. Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, MEGA and ZERO it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN is set to the correct LED pin independent of which board is used. If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino model, check the Technical Specs of your board at: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products modified 8 May 2014 by Scott Fitzgerald modified 2 Sep 2016 by Arturo Guadalupi modified 8 Sep 2016 by Colby Newman This example code is in the public domain. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BuiltInExamples/Blink */ int LEDPIN1 = 1; int LEDPIN2 = 2; int LEDPIN3 = 3; int LEDPIN4 = 4; int LEDPIN5 = 5; // the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board void setup() { // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output. pinMode(LEDPIN1, OUTPUT); pinMode(LEDPIN2, OUTPUT); pinMode(LEDPIN3, OUTPUT); pinMode(LEDPIN4, OUTPUT); pinMode(LEDPIN5, OUTPUT); } // the loop function runs over and over again forever void loop() { digitalWrite(LEDPIN1, HIGH); digitalWrite(LEDPIN2, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN3, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN4, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN5, LOW); delay(100); digitalWrite(LEDPIN1, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN2, HIGH); digitalWrite(LEDPIN3, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN4, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN5, LOW); delay(100); digitalWrite(LEDPIN1, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN2, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN3, HIGH); digitalWrite(LEDPIN4, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN5, LOW); delay(100); digitalWrite(LEDPIN1, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN2, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN3, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN4, HIGH); digitalWrite(LEDPIN5, LOW); delay(100); digitalWrite(LEDPIN1, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN2, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN3, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN4, LOW); digitalWrite(LEDPIN5, HIGH); delay(100); }

I used the blink sketch because I had it open teaching my dad the concept of arduino

thank you! i will use this! but i still want other ideas!
