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 ...

It is likely that many of us will at some time have experimented with motion detectors. Our Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, Beaglebones or whatever will have been hooked up to ultrasonic or PIR boards which ...

In the microcontroller era today, Arduino is more than just a tool to accomplish hobby tasks. There is actually a close relationship between microcontroller technology and home security, since you can ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. You’ve probably seen them—sensors watching from the corners of ...

Motion detection is the magic ingredient in the current wave of do-it-yourself home security cameras. Thanks to built-in sensors that vigilantly monitor their field of view for movement, you can go ...
