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, ...

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 ...

Despite their similar sizes and affordable prices, microcontrollers and single-board computers have vastly different specifications and use cases. After all, MCUs are designed for circuitry, ...

With their cheap price tags, massive I/O provisions, and low power consumption, microcontrollers like the uber-popular Arduino family have diverse use cases, from simple automation projects to full-on ...

A Raspberry Pi home automation project enables controlling lights, sensors, and smart devices via open-source software, turning any house into a smart home.

This week I will outline a project for Halloween that uses the Arduino and a light to create a glowing effect inside a pumpkin. I use artificial pumpkins for projects like this so I can reuse them in ...

When it comes to performance, there's a world of difference between the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The former, after all, is technically a fully functional computer that can run games, word processors, ...

As a biomedical equipment technician [Adam Outler] equipment needs to be in top working condition. The emergency room staff were complaining about erroneous noise on the electrocardiogram and it’s his ...

If you are building Internet of Things (IoT) projects, the ability to receive real-time alerts is a game-changer. Arduino, a prominent player in the IoT space, has introduced a new feature to its ...
