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 ...

We’re still not sure exactly how [connornishijima]’s motion detector works, though many readers offered plausible explanations in the comments the last time we covered it. It works well enough, though ...

Arduino has launched its next generation of UNO boards, introducing a 32-bit Renesas microcontroller and Espressif ESP32-S3 module, one-click cloud connectivity and plenty of I/O plus a 12×8 red LED ...

First a quick announcement. We changed our “Kickstarter” category to “Crowd Funding“. We get a huge number of tips about crowd funding projects. We’re always interested in details. If you’re trying to ...

If you searching for an LED matrix for your next project or to add to an existing application you may be interested to know that the Maker LED Display is now available to purchase from the Crowd ...

Most of us have an 8x8 LED matrix from one of our Arduino kits. What can we do with them? This module investigates how to use these interesting devices. Along the way, we describe a fun electronics ...
