Automate inventory management with this MKR1000-controlled system! Simply scan a product’s barcode, enter its quantity on the touchscreen, and send it to a database over WiFi.
Wireless Product Tracking (Arduino MKR & Barcode Scanner) © GPL3+
https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/sanruskmv/wireless-product-tracking-arduino-mkr-barcode-scanner-3708d9
Let’s consider creating a system for tracking goods in a warehouse using a barcode scanner. We use the Arduino MKR 1000 as the controller.

The Juuke box is a musical companion, made to be as easy as possible for the elderly (and kids) to use.
Juuke is an Arduino-powered RFID music player for the elderly
https://blog.arduino.cc/2020/08/01/juuke-is-an-arduino-powered-rfid-music-player-for-the-elderly/
The Juuke features an RC522 RFID reader to trigger specific songs stored on an SD card via a DFPlayer Mini, using a stereo jack and external powered speakers. The device is controlled by an Arduino Uno, and includes a volume potentiometer along with two light-up buttons — red to play/pause tracks, green for random playback.
Code for the project can be found on GitHub, with 3D print files, and the actual Fusion 360 files are also available if you’d like to build your own.

The PongMate CyberCannon Mark III is a surefire way to never lose at beer pong
https://blog.arduino.cc/2020/07/31/the-pongmate-cybercannon-mark-iii-is-a-surefire-way-to-never-lose-at-beer-pong/
This wrist-mounted launcher uses a time-of-flight sensor, along with an inertial measurement unit to calculate the vertical and horizontal distance to the red Solo cup, marked with a small laser. Bubble levels help users fix the device in the horizontal direction and five programmable RGB LEDs indicate when it’s ready to shoot.

Mod your office chair to continuously monitor and help improve your sitting posture.
Smart Healthy Chair
https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/ibrahim-yassine/smart-healthy-chair-102765
Turning a normal chair into a smart chair that will continuously detect your sitting posture and sends an alarm for wrong postures.
The sensor will continuously measure the distance to the back of the sitting person. Any increase in the distance indicates bending of the back. This will trigger an alarm beeping sound. All the process is coordinated through an arduino board.

Engineers have developed a smartwatch capable of tracking a wearer’s metabolization of medicines — by analyzing their sweat.
Custom-Built ATmega328-Based Smartwatch Tracks Acetaminophen Absorption by Analyzing Sweat
https://www.hackster.io/news/custom-built-atmega328-based-smartwatch-tracks-acetaminophen-absorption-by-analyzing-sweat-48252fcc1f3a
The custom-built smartwatch uses a small electric current to force the wearer’s wrist to sweat, then tracks their medication levels.
All were driven by a Microchip ATmega328-based microcontroller linked to a 16-bit Texas Instrument DAC8552 digital-to-analog converter, a Linear Technology LT1462 transfer impedance amplifier, and a TI 12-bit ADS1015 analog-to-digital converter, with a Wurth Electronik AMB2621 Bluetooth module used for communication.
The full study has been published under closed-access terms in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

HeliOS is a small and simple embedded operating system for Arduino, with some nice features like non-preemptive and event-driven multitasking.
HeliOS Embedded Operating System © GPL3+
https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/FellFromTree/helios-embedded-operating-system-e311bf
An embedded operating system for Arduino that is small, easy to use and can be added to any project from the Arduino IDE Library Manager.
HeliOS was written with hobbyists, enthusiasts and researchers in mind who want more functionality than what existing task schedulers offer yet want to avoid the size and complexity of an RTOS. HeliOS has only 21 function calls and implements a wide variety of functionality including cooperative multitasking, event driven multitasking, task notification/messaging, timers and managed memory. Not only is HeliOS easy to use, it is conveniently available through the Arduino IDE Library Manager or from GitHub as a ZIP file. Either way, HeliOS is compliant with Arduino’s 1.5 (rev 2.2) Library Manager Specifications so getting started is a snap!

ARDUPOOL is a modular, open source system for pool automation, from chemical dosage to filtration.
Keep your pool under control with ARDUPOOL
https://blog.arduino.cc/2020/08/13/keep-your-pool-under-control-with-ardupool/
Having a pool can be a great way to relax during the summer, but keeping the water crystal clear and safe to swim in can be a challenge. To help, engineer Diego Gomez has developed the Arduino Mega-powered ARDUPOOL, which is now crowdfunding on Kickstarter.
This modular, open source device is capable of controlling up to four peristaltic pumps for dosing chlorine and other chemicals, as well as the filtration system. Programming is done via a simple LCD screen on the front, along with three buttons.
