saw quite a good one on reddit.com/r/arduino that did a similar thing.

happen to have a direct link to that? figuring out measurements on my own will be a mess xD

I don't think it was any of the project files or anything but I will post it: http://imgur.com/a/IofCQ not quite wholly related.

that looks surprisingly simple actually, from the looks of it the humidity sensor is pretty much two plates that form a resistance based on the humidity of the soil.

Make robot of some sort, preferably a doomba style one, Idk I'm using one to make a controllable mag lev system, they have so many potential uses I don't know what to recommend.

Just wondering, but what type of Arduino do you have? I'm assuming an Uno, but I could be wrong. ^_^

Yeah uno, I've done some stuff before like shift registers and dot matrix displays, I just want more hardware to mess around with really.

Awesome! An idea that I've been kicking around that may be a bit fun is a device that tests to see if two people are in love.

 

This sounds a bit crazy, but hear me out! Two years ago Professor Emilio Ferrer at UC Davis published two papers that essentially said that if two people that are either in a relationship or like each other stare at each other for a few minutes their heart beats will sync up. The same behavior was not observed between people that were not in a relationship. Links to the papers are here and here. I will admit that the science is a bit sketchy since I haven't seen another researcher publish any similar results, and the sample size used in these experiments was only 32 couples. But why not make a device that measures two individuals heat beats and experiment on some people yourself?

 

You'd need the Arduino, a display of your choice, a clock module if you want to be super accurate and not use millis(), and two pulse sensors which can be found here at a minimum. Haven't read the documentation for the sensors so I don't know if any supporting hardware is required. Probably not.

 

Your program would start by getting a baseline reading of the time between one pulse on each sensor. Heat rate may also be an interesting metric to measure. Have the program watch the time between pulses and see if the heart rate changes, and by how much. Based on these two metrics you should be able to see if the beats are syncing and determine if the two people are actually in love. (Note: I'd measure the time on the front and back end of each beat. May help with accuracy.)

 

I did something like this at Valentines day last year, only it spat out random numbers for how much the two people liked each other. (Don't judge me, it was like 1 am when I did it and Valentines was the next day. xD) People absolutely loved it. Left it in a common area and couples went by all day testing their "love" (aka luck on getting a good random number). Kinda like those arcade games that are like squeeze the handle to see how good you are at kissing or whatever. Point is, you'll be able to have some fun with this.

 

If you do decide to do it tell me how it goes and if you need help don't hesitate to ask!

 

~Cheers!
