[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 ...

It has a distance sensor to calculate the distance to walls and objects, an accelerometer, light-sensing phototransistors to seek out light or dark, edge detection sensors, infrared transmitters ...

An Arduino is a much better choice than a Raspberry Pi for tasks that require real-time input and responses. While a Pi can ...

Deba168's system uses two Arduinos, an RF transmitter, a motion sensor, and a few other parts to piece it all together. When the motion sensor detects movement, it buzzes the other Arduino ...

As a preview of his latest book, Arduino Project Handbook: 25 Practical Projects to Get You Started, Mark Geddes takes us through the project to create a simple Arduino plant monitor. In this project ...

How could you use an Arduino to build a Garage Parking Assistant - a reliable electronic device to gauge the distance you need to drive a car in? Warren Andrews, author of Arduino Playground, takes us ...

However, if you’re just looking to catch a sandwich thief at work or a cat spilling over all you water bottles, then Make shows you how to build an alarm system with an Arduino and a USB camera.

At the heart is an Arduino compatible microcontroller (based on the Leonardo) with a few extras baked in, including a Freescale touch sensor connected to 12 electrodes and an audio processor for ...

[Dustin Andrews] built this add-on board which works as a proximity sensor. He wanted a standalone sensor for his Arduino projects which would use a single pin as a trigger. This lets him alert ...
