The sensitivity of the proximity sensor circuit can be adjusted with P1 for the desired “distance”. One of its obvious uses is to open a door automatically. For this the sensor must be placed on the ...

Ultra simple circuit of the tilt sensor alarm presented here can be fabricated using readily available inexpensive components. The circuit is a true transistor based design. Home made Tilt sensor for ...

This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

Gesture-controlled gadgets were all the rage at CES back in January. I’m still not convinced it’s a good way to change TV channels, but it can’t hurt to learn how to program for a motion sensor.

No, you can’t buy Sony’s new 105MP, 100fps sensor, but you can still geek out over how such a feat is even possible ...

Here’s your useful and beautiful circuit for the day — [New Pew]’s vibration sensor takes manual control of the flip-flop inside a 555 timer and lights an LED in response. Use it to detect those ...

To be honest, I didn’t know we could do this yet. Welcome to the future, Paul. SCiO is a miniaturized near-infrared spectrometer, which detects the molecular signature of things. It was Kickstarted a ...

(TNS) — The state of Connecticut is testing new vehicle technology designed to eliminate impaired driving. The Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety vehicle measures carbon dioxide and ethanol ...
