Quick and Easy way to Enable or Disable USB Ports on a Windows System. - Registry Editor


This blog is to give a detailed explanation on how to enable or disable the USB port of your windows machine. There are several ways to enable or disable a USB port on a windows OS device, but the approach that we will be treating is different from the normal way. 

We will use the Registry Editor's approach, don't worry it's not a difficult thing to implement. I will guide you on all the below steps to do this the easy way.



The steps are as follows.

1. Click on the window search button on your task bar, and enter the search word "Registry Editor" and search for it. The picture below depicts this action.




2. After the registry editors page is open navigate through the following tabs to get access to the "USBTOR" menu. The below picture will help with the navigation.



After the service Tab scroll down to get access to the USBTOR menu.




3. By default the USB ports are enabled, that is why you see the value data of START as 3.




4. To disable the USB ports you need to change the value of START to 4 and click OK to make the changes effective.




And Viola!!! you have been able to disable all the USB ports on your Widows OS device. 

NB: if you want to enable the USB ports all you need to do is to change back the START value from 4 to 3.

Water Quality Monitoring and Notification System

This blog is to discuss, how to implement a system that can monitor the Quality of water, in-terms of the level of water, the temperature of the water and its surrounding, the turbidity of the water (how clean the water is) as well as the PH levels of the Water. This system monitors all of these aspect and finally when all check have been completed, its sends the information or data as an SMS to notify the authorized personnel. Step 1: Components Needed   For you to be able to complete this project you need to get these specific kind of devices. Arduino Mega Board. (16 * 2) LCD display. The 2 in one Temperature and PH sensor. The Turrbidity Sensor. A GSM shield. An ultrasonic Sensor. 4 RGB led. A buzzer.   Step 2: Graphical View and Circuit Diagram Below are the circuit diagram and the Fritzing view of the project. Below is the schematic diagram You can get access to this project code here:   https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/eani/water-quality-monitoring-and-notification-system-f85
