It is likely that many of us will at some time have experimented with motion detectors. Our Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, Beaglebones or whatever will have been hooked up to ultrasonic or PIR boards which ...

[Sebastian Tomczak] was borrowing a homeade muon detector from his friend, and managed to hook it up to his computer through an Arduino. The detector itself uses 3 fluorescent tubes to detect ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

Using the power of Arduino, Evan Kale has ingeniously transformed a weed wacker into an Arduino-powered metal detector. This innovative project showcases the versatility and potential of Arduino in ...

If you’d like to monitor noises around your home or in your local facility you might be interested in an innovative project created by Christopher Cooper. Who noticed a substantial increase in the ...

One of the essential parts of any home security system is a door detector that lets you know when a door opens. Over on Adafruit, they show you how to build your own that hooks into IFTTT so you can ...

This project is a simple modification of the LightGauge project. Instead of measuring light, we measure the ambient voltage field on pin A5 and use it to detect if someone is too close to our Arduino.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) strive to catch computer system intrusion & utilize by any garnering and analyzing data. Wireless IDSs garner all local wireless transmissions and generate alerts ...

Nespresso’s coffee capsule line has been a worldwide success, and not even the world of making and Arduino can escape its touch. Embracing this, the folks over at circuito io have created a project ...

This one caught my eye - an Arduino-based lie detector that can measure the skin's response to a question. At the heart of this project is an Arduino Nano, based on the Atmel ATmega328 (for the Nano 3 ...
