Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I ...

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has extended its non-contact laser distance sensor portfolio with a low cost unit that is even more robust and compact than its predecessor measuring distances ...

[Maker 101] gave the Arduino an infrared sensor which can pick up signals from a simple IR remote control. It can be driven backwards and forwards or turned left and right.

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. ... to ~38kHz signal yielded by D9 of the ...

There are also other Arduino boards capable of switching between different resolutions, such as the Uno R4 Minima that can use either 10, 12 or 14 bits and the MKR Zero with eight, ten, and 12 bits.

Both the Arduino Nano and Uno can be powered via their integrated USB connectors. This automatically supplies regulated 5V power to the board, allowing you to use any USB-supported power source ...

You can even build yourself something simple based on an Arduino Uno! The build uses Panasonic’s cheap “Grid-EYE” infrared array as the thermal sensor, in this case, a model with an 8×8 ...

Arduino Flame Sensor Code. The code for interfacing the flame sensor is very simple and easy to understand. We just need to define the pin through which the sensor is connected with the Arduino. Once ...
