[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 ...

A capacitive sensing evaluation kit from Cypress Semiconductor is being made available free to design engineers by distributor Future Electronics on its ‘My Board Club’ website. The CY3280-MBR3 ...

This project is a simple modification of the LightGauge project. Instead of measuring light, we measure the ambient voltage field on pin A5 and use it to detect if someone is too close to our Arduino.

An Arduino is a microcontroller — a single board designed to control something and perform a specific task. Unlike a Raspberry Pi, you won't find anything resembling an operating system here; instead, ...

So you finally decided to hop on the Arduino bandwagon and start making electronic projects as a fun hobby. As a beginner getting started with Arduino, your first instinct is typically to buy a ...

Arduino has certainly made its mark in the world of DIY electronics, providing an accessible platform for a wide range of creative and interactive projects. Known for its user-friendly hardware and ...

UV (ultraviolet) sensors of all sorts have been an interest of mine. They become interesting when you find the diversity of real-world practical applications. While searching for affordable UV light ...

Raspberry Pi has received the lion’s share of attention devoted to cheap, single-board computers in the past year. But long before the Pi was a gleam in its creators’ eyes, there was the Arduino.

[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 ...
