I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

[Brian] started out with a clear and concise goal, “allow a regular human to associate an audible tone with a temperature from an infrared contactless thermometer.” With his latest project, the ESPeri ...

[Chris] at PyroElectro sent in a great 8-part write-up of a miniature infrared theremin. The theremin is based on a PIC microcontroller and an infrared distance sensor. The build log goes through the ...

In the realm of DIY electronics, the Arduino UNO has emerged as a versatile platform for a myriad of projects. One such innovative project is the creation of a low-cost thermal camera, as demonstrated ...

Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

Makers, and developers that are creating robotic projects using the Arduino platform maybe interested in a new Arduino compatible gyroscope sensor created by Martin Cote based in Canada. The 3 axis ...
