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 your ...

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. The ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. With summer in full swing in North America, finding a way to keep ...

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 ...

As things get smaller, we can fit more processing power into devices like robots to allow them to do more things or interact with their environment in new ways. If not, we can at least build them for ...

Wireless sensor networks are nothing new to Hackaday, but [Felix]’s wireless PIR sensor node is something else entirely. Rarely do we see something so well put together that’s also so well designed ...

Gesture-controlled gadgets were all the rage at CES back in January. I’m still not convinced it’s a good way to change TV channels, but it can’t hurt to learn how to program for a motion sensor.
