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 ...

Halloween is coming up faster than you think: time to dust off the gravestones and the zombie lawn decorations! This year you may want to add a little something extra to give the trick-or-treaters a ...

We’re still not sure exactly how [connornishijima]’s motion detector works, though many readers offered plausible explanations in the comments the last time we covered it. It works well enough, though ...

Arduino has launched its next generation of UNO boards, introducing a 32-bit Renesas microcontroller and Espressif ESP32-S3 module, one-click cloud connectivity and plenty of I/O plus a 12×8 red LED ...

Most of us have an 8x8 LED matrix from one of our Arduino kits. What can we do with them? This module investigates how to use these interesting devices. Along the way, we describe a fun electronics ...
