Arduino’s open-source platform makes it easy for makers, students, and hobbyists to build powerful multi-sensor projects for home automation, monitoring, and IoT applications. From motion and gas ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sometimes, projects start in somewhat unlikely places. This one began when [Istvan Raduly] scored a fake raven at a neighbor’s garage sale and decided to turn it into a thunder-and-lightning ...

Working from home with regular video meetings has its challenges, especially if you add kids to the mix. To help avoid embarrassing situations, [Charitha Jayaweera] created Present!, a USB device to ...

Building Arduino projects with multiple sensors can unlock powerful environmental monitoring, automation, and IoT applications. From DHT11 temperature sensors to motion, gas, and light detectors, ...
