To be frank, using a microcontroller is probably overkill for most motion detector safety light circuits because the PIR sensor module itself can handle the task effectively.

The hardware is consists of an Arduino microcontroller (here an Arduino Uno R3) and a pre-wired soil moisture sensor module. The soil moisture sensor module , built around the LM393 comparator, gives ...

Makers and developers looking for a motion sensor Arduino Shield, are sure to be interested in this new ICU-Duino which has been created by Patrick Thomas Mitchell based in Ottawa, Canada.

Make sure the adjustment knobs for sensitivity and on-time for the motion sensor are facing up so you can modify how sensitive your device is and how long it stays on to signal your Arduino.

As for sensors, it has a light sensor and an optional 9-axis motion sensor, allowing for gesture sensing, proximity detection, and motion tracking.

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 ...

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 ...

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

Anyone searching for an Arduino project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new motion activated wildlife camera constructed using the Adafruit Feather M0 development board.

The Pressure Sensor Module incorporates a material called Velostat with the Arduino. This material adds more resistance when more pressure is applied to the material. This module also uses the RGB LED ...
