Now we can stepped into the light with our favorite microcontroller Arduino! Since a vast number of analog/digital ambient light sensors/light sensor modules are now available at reasonable price, ...

Most ambient lights and sensors are designed to generate light to even out the picture on the front of the panel and reduce any light bleed from the back of an LCD display. This Arduino-powered ...

Tilt sensors are essential components in security alarm systems today. Standalone tilt sensors sense tilt angle or movement. Tilt sensors can be implemented using mercury and roller ball technology, ...

You would have probably read about the SONAR that’s used in ships. By taking the same concept into a small form factor we get a distance sensor. This sensor is available in multiple variants and I’ll ...

We know that measuring the speed of light with an Arduino is possible. It’s just that the implementation is hard. [Udo] hit upon the idea of pulsing a laser pointer and measuring the time of the ...

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 ...
