[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

The nano sensor interface presented below is a microcontroller-based universal sensor interface with a power-saver mechanism. The idea, centered around an Arduino Nano (v3) microcontroller, was ...

Over the last decade or so, we’ve been inundated with appliances with wireless or “smart” technology that is often of dubious utility. No one really needs a tablet in their refrigerator or Wi-Fi on ...
