Code for arduino that makes fade in/out effect after receiving signal from switch, PIR sensor, etc. Default pinout: Pin 9 - main output. That's where you connect your LEDs. Of course you can change ...

In the microcontroller era today, Arduino is more than just a tool to accomplish hobby tasks. There is actually a close relationship between microcontroller technology and home security, since you can ...

Abstract: In this paper, the Arduino based Intruder Detection System employing Rochelle Salt and Pyro-electric or Passive infrared (PIR) Sensor has been proposed. The proposed system employs Rochelle ...

You must have seen automatic door openers in shopping malls and other commercial buildings. They open the door when someone comes near the entrance and close it after sometime. A number of ...

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 ...

Proximity sensing is a common application for intruder alarms, light switches, and other home and industrial automation applications. There are multiple methods of proximity detection used in the ...

A year ago [Lochie] bought an Airwick automatic air freshener, and while he thought it was a cool gadget, the freshening spray and the novelty ran out in short order. The device collected dust in his ...
