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 ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

Advances in embedded systems and sensors have enabled efficient, intelligent surveillance solutions that improve safety and ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

[Dustin Andrews] built this add-on board which works as a proximity sensor. He wanted a standalone sensor for his Arduino projects which would use a single pin as a trigger. This lets him alert the ...

This is an Arduino-based Proximity Sensor circuit wired using the popular HC-SR04 Ultrasonic ranging module,used here for non-contact object detection purpose. The HC-SR04 module includes ultrasonic ...

Loading cement sacks into trucks requires precise counting for traceability, yet manual methods are error-prone and often ...

The big picture: If you don't know anything about electronics but have always wanted to learn and build your own IoT project, Arduino has the solution for you. The Plug and Make Kit is a comprehensive ...

Diving into the world of DIY electronics can be quite daunting and overwhelming. There's the matter of picking the right components to use, learning the hand tools, and understanding the software.
