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 ...
Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I ...
Sometimes, projects start in somewhat unlikely places. This one began when [Istvan Raduly] scored a fake raven at a neighbor’s garage sale and decided to turn it into a thunder-and-lightning ...
Working Voltage:DC 2.7V-12V;Max Static current:1mA;delay time: 2S;Blockade time: 2S;Sensor angle:100 Degree;Sensor distance: 3-5m. Repeatable Trigger Mode:When people enters the sensing range, the ...
Working from home with regular video meetings has its challenges, especially if you add kids to the mix. To help avoid embarrassing situations, [Charitha Jayaweera] created Present!, a USB device to ...
Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...
Last year, I took a look at some mostly low-cost passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules. Then recently, I became more aware of cheap microwave radar motion sensor modules. The popular version of ...
Many close-proximity motion detectors use the classic, widely available passive-infrared (PIR) approach, which is effective but has limited sensitivity and adjustability, and can’t “see” through ...
