In a 21st century world full of advanced changes, we tend to take granted the modernized occupations, on which we depend solely on computers and technology. In the early years of my life I have grasp this concept of the fascination behind how much computers made our lives simpler and much more efficient and rapid growth of technology expanding throughout the country and world. I have, therefore, been fascinated by computer technology and particular ways how technology can make improve our lives and the environment in a genuine manner.
The projects I am mostly interested in that is Arduino based are the following.
– ArduIMU quadcopter: makes model flying idiot proof (Not that an idiot would be able to construct this bad boy, though). It uses sonar and IR distance sensors to hold position and altitude as well as navigate around obstacles. An experimental feature lets you program flight paths, too.

– Botanicalls: is a system that was developed to allow plants to place phone calls for human help. When a plant on the Botanicalls network needs water, it can call a person and ask for exactly what it needs. When people phone the plants, the plants orient callers to their habits and characteristics. Call 212.202.8348 to hear more about each of the plants.

The final project that catches my interest is a Arduino Controlled Security Laser System. It is a simple technique of when the laser is hitting the photoresistor, the LED is off. When the laser isn’t hitting the photoresistor, the LED is on. You can also improve and add a 3 volt siren instead of the LED or use a 3 volt wireless transmitter to make an alarm on your phone or whatever you want.
