Did you make a robotic coffee pot which implements HTCPCP and decafs unauthorized users? Show it off here!

I need someone who can help me to developed the code of arduino for the car brake system projects. In this when ultrasonic detector detects that any car is near to collided then the arduino will give signal to the brakes

This is quite a difficult project on a number of fronts, not least because brakes are mechanical and usually need hydraulic pressure to actuate. The reliability is also critical because not only could it fail to work when required it could fail so that the brakes didn't work when you out your foot on the pedal. Depending where you live, it is also questionable legally.

So while I must suggest that you do not attempt this, how about this alternative? connect your sensor so an audible alarm... You will then be able to experiment safely and explore some if the difficulties of the project without killing anybody. And it will be fun along the way!

Best regards

actually we are not going to tested on real car, we have an robotic remote control car and want to show the prototype in the university then we can control car if they gone wrong like if someone have drink and drive car suddenly some thing come near car sensor will get data for every direction then perform action.

Helping drink and drive perpetrators to keep operating a car is a wrong idea! Preventing ignition in the first place based on alcohol sensors would be more ethical. Or send out a notice with GPS coordinates to local authorities via wireless methods would be safer. As it is still a dangerous idea if the car stops in the middle of traffic at high speed.

True, but the problem with that is that people tend to forget they have one, with consequences, when they are enabled.
