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 ...

小型のPIRモーションセンサー「SR602」を購入したので検証してみました。センサー本体の直径は約9.6mmで、消費電力も少なく使いやすいセンサーです。 本体の幅(9.6mm) 基盤を含めた幅(15.4mm) PIR（Passive Infrared：パッシブ赤外線）センサーは、人や動物から放射 ...

Sometimes, projects start in somewhat unlikely places. This one began when [Istvan Raduly] scored a fake raven at a neighbor’s garage sale and decided to turn it into a thunder-and-lightning ...

The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

It’s really hard to overstate how awesome ESP8266 development boards like the Wemos D1 Mini really are. For literally a couple of dollars you can get a decently powerful Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller ...
