Arduino’s open-source platform makes it easy for makers, students, and hobbyists to build powerful multi-sensor projects for home automation, monitoring, and IoT applications. From motion and gas ...

[HankDavis] sent along this link to a video showing a tutorial on how to make touch sensors using a “darlington pair”. In the video we are taken through the idea and how we’re going to construct it.

This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...

The ESP8266 microcontroller is a favorite among makers for creating affordable, Wi-Fi-enabled sensor projects. Pairing it with a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor is one of the easiest ways to get ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts looking to build projects including an RFID scanner may be interested in a new tutorial by Instructables member Xeiverse to create a Raspberry Pi RFID Scanner with ease.

Makers and hobbyists that are looking for a capacitive touch sensor for a project, might be interested in a new touch sensor board called the EasyTouch. The EasyTouch capacitive touch sensor can be ...

The nano sensor interface presented below is a microcontroller-based universal sensor interface with a power-saver mechanism. The idea, centered around an Arduino Nano (v3) microcontroller, was ...

We talked to engineers whose views on a low-cost, sensor-bridge-cloud solution for gaining better insight and control over operations underscore the tradeoffs in innovation vs. standardization. Ask ...
