[ladyada] has a freshly-published and amazingly thorough tutorial on passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors. Most often seen in security floodlights and automatic doors, in creative hands these sensors ...

Over the last decade, the open-source movement has not only transformed the world of software, but also catalyzed a sweeping revolution in hardware tinkering. At the heart of this shift lies a ...

Anyone searching for an Arduino project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new motion activated wildlife camera constructed using the Adafruit Feather M0 development board. Created ...

Sometimes you need a little utility device to do a very simple job, and do it well.This one-shot IR helper from [Gregory Sanders] is just that. [Gregory] had a TV that didn’t support automatically ...

Makers, and developers that are creating robotic projects using the Arduino platform maybe interested in a new Arduino compatible gyroscope sensor created by Martin Cote based in Canada. The 3 axis ...

This project is to prototype a set of self-powered (such as piezoelectric, thermostat, solar, etc) embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. A tangible exam is a body-temperature powered motion ...
