About this path

The Arduino capstone projects are bigger builds that bring together everything from Arduino basics and the Arduino sensor workshop. Each one combines several sensors and outputs into a complete device and is built in stages, so you test every part before adding the next.

You build a weather station that logs to an SD card, an alarm system with an RFID key card, an automatic mini greenhouse, a joystick memory game, a car park barrier that counts free spaces, a digital safe with a keypad, a spin-art drawing machine, a smart bin with a lid that opens by itself, an ultrasonic radar that tracks toy aircraft on a radar screen and a token vending machine with a keypad and LCD.

You need the EEMENTOR UNO R3 Starter Kit, and for some projects the 45-in-1 Sensor Kit. Plan on one to two hours for each project. They're ideal for school projects, science fairs and clubs.
