Using motion detectors and an Ardunio you can add a little extra wow to your Halloween displays this year. This article covers the circuits and the code to make that happen.

TK has combined a PIR with an Arduino to create a smart safety light for the house or workshop. Follow along as this gets built out into a more extensive project.

The sensor shown here is essentially two plates mounted side-by-side, attached to an Arduino Nano using the Capacitor library which uses just two pins, one digital and one analog.

As indicated, our system requires a “Logic High (H)” level input to wake up. The best sensor you can use to detect an intrusion is the Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor. The PIR Sensor detects the motion ...

While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

All you need is an Arduino, a motion sensor, a few wires and headers, and the code provided at the site below. Hit the link to see step-by-step instructions on how to put it together.

What he came up with is a light-sensitive motion sensor that uses very little power. He knew that an Arduino would be overkill, and decided to try his hand at using the Arduino to develop code for ...

In just a few simple steps, you now have your own customized motion sensor night light! Stay tuned for more DIY episodes inspired by the Ford F-150.

Components Needed: Raspberry Pi 4. Arduino Uno. 4-channel relay module. PIR motion sensor. Steps: Use Arduino to handle sensor input and relay control. Pi runs a Python Flask server with a simple UI ...
