Furthermore, the vacant solder pads near the three-pin interface header is for mounting a light-dependent resistor (LDR/CdS cell). This, if added, causes the detector to be operational only when the ...

Halloween is coming up faster than you think: time to dust off the gravestones and the zombie lawn decorations! This year you may want to add a little something extra to give the trick-or-treaters a ...

We’re still not sure exactly how [connornishijima]’s motion detector works, though many readers offered plausible explanations in the comments the last time we covered it. It works well enough, though ...

Makers and developers looking for a motion sensor Arduino Shield, are sure to be interested in this new ICU-Duino which has been created by Patrick Thomas Mitchell based in Ottawa, Canada. The ...

This reference design presents Zilog’s ZMOTION® Occupancy Detection used as a solution in a PIR-based motion detector module. It also describes how to implement additional hardware and software ...

The Leap Motion controller is a rather impressive little sensor bar that is capable of generating a massive 3D point cloud and recognizing hands and fingers to allow for gesture control based ...

Arduino platform makers, hobbyists and developers may be interested in a new Arduino Serial Camera Module which has been created by GHI Electronics and provides the ability to capture time-lapse and ...

The world of littleBits (the “not-a-toy” toy that I reaaaally wish existed when I was younger) just got a little bit bigger: it can now play friendly with Arduino. If you’re not familiar with ...
