While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

A motion sensor activates the light when it detects something moving within its field of view. Photocells work with a resistor that changes its conductivity based on how many photons are hitting it.

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.

Zigbee is a protocol that has been around for quite a long time, and you can purchase many cheap smart sensors to incorporate ...

The components required to create the system include an Arduino Nano development board, digital potentiometer, flex sensor, a pair of push buttons an IMU, and of course a glove.

Finger Bend is a unique DIY Arduino powered textile flex sensor, created as part of the Swatch Exchange, enabling you to trigger actions by simply bending your finger. Created by the team at ...
