This tutorial will guide you through the process of building a tachometer around an Arduino. Tachometers are used to measure rotation rate in Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). You don’t need much… ...

Using motion detectors and an Ardunio you can add a little extra wow to your Halloween displays this year. This article covers the circuits and the code to make that happen.

How it works: When something triggers the sensor, the Arduino records that moment as triggerTime in Line 23, and compares it with the current time based on conditions in lines 26, 29, and 34.

If you've always wanted to try to build an Arduino project, this may be a great way to start. Matt Williamson built a tiny, Arduino-based motion sensor that will SMS you when something moves by ...

TK has combined a PIR with an Arduino to create a smart safety light for the house or workshop. Follow along as this gets built out into a more extensive project.

The project’s goal — in excess of a lighting solution for an entrance hallway — was the learn the ins and outs of the Arduino and motion sensors.
