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 ...

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

This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...

Old infrared remote controls can be a great way to interface with your projects. One of [AnalysIR’s] latest blog posts goes over the simplest way to create an Arduino based IR receiver, makin… ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If you're looking to take on a new project with your Arduino, perhaps creating a smart trash can could be in the cards. Yes, it might ...

Seeking students for projects prototyping a set of self-powered embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. These projects will sharpen your hardware and software skills.

In this project, students will design and prototype a novel wearable sensor for continuous physiological monitoring (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, glucose, etc.). Besides the conventional ...

Arduino’s new partnership with Nordic Semiconductor allows them to use the technology, which claims to redefine Bluetooth Smart sensors and devices for the IoT era.

Makers, developers and hobbyists that are interested in making projects involving muscles and reactions from muscles may find these new Arduino MyoWare muscle sensors a great addition to their ...

Researchers have developed a smart sensor for DARPA that’s capable of identifying infrared -- without having to have its own power source.
