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 ...

Resistor(s) (to keep from frying the LED, 220 Ohm should work for basic LEDs) Jumper wires Breadboard Arduino USB cord (to upload code) *alternatively, you can use a strand of pre-made LED string ...

If you’ve always wanted to try to build an Arduino project, this may be a great way to start. Matt Williamson built a tiny, Arduino-based motion sensor that will SMS you when something moves by your ...

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 ...

An Arduino project implementing a security alarm system featuring PIN code access via a 4x4 keypad, status updates on a 16x2 LCD, motion detection using an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, and ...

The (r)evolution Arduino motion sensors have been specifically built for projects that require the addition of self tracking applications based on information from your body. Watch the video after the ...

Makers and hobbyists or even professionals that enjoy creating cosplay components, props or creative projects may be interested in a new 32-bit Arduino compatible development board which has been ...

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 ...

As you all know by now, the Kinect is a pretty epic piece of kit. But did you know that you can use the Kinect to pause, rewind, or fast-forward any video you watch using your Xbox 360? It’s true–but ...
