Here we use PIR sensor and Arduino to detect the motion of a hand. This detection can be used to operate electronic equipment. By ElectroPeak @ hackster.io: In this article, we’ll show you how to make a gesture detector by simple components like PIR sensor and Arduino Nano. At the...

fmarzocca @ instructables.com build a portable UV index meter with Arduino. He writes: Being unable to expose myself to the sun due to a dermatological problem, I used the time I would have spent on the beach to build an ultraviolet rays meter. UltraV. It is built on an Arduino Nano...

As a new Linux user or even a window pro user, you will probably be familiar with the terminal or command prompt as known in windows. Those tools give user extra control when using a  pc, as you can perform actions faster, automate things and so much more as compared to using the...

Pico - tiny & powerful. More features and performance than an Arduino Uno in a tiny, quarter-sized board that's breadboard compatible. [via] The Pico is still the smallest Arduino development board on the planet, at 20.32x20.32mm. It’s breadboard compatible, and offers roughly...

An Arduino library for simple means of putting your Arduino into sleep modes in order to save power when you are not doing much, supports a variety of common microcontrollers used with Arduino... Deep and Dreamless Slumber (Forever Sleep) Sleeping forever is the simplest type of sleep...

Matthias Dankers build his own cigarette humidor controlled by Arduino. He writes: For the optimal storage of cigars you would want a box with a so called 'Caribbean' climate inside; warm and very humid. Translated in numbers that would be 21 degrees Celcius (70F) and 70% relative...

Cost and size, just to mention a few, makes using an Arduino board in certain projects an overkill, often times its always too big, or too expensive for the scope of the project especially when it’s a project that we need to make several units. One good way to retain the simplicity...

The Tachyon is a new lightning-fast open-source Arduino Zero-compatible board developed by Rabid Prototypes, currently on Kickstarter for funding. It features a 32-bit ARM M4F processor running at 120MHz and contains 128K of RAM. The Tachyon's pinout is nearly identical to both...
