We’ve featured loads of IR Arduino projects and they are all exciting and unique. The projects spring from a specific need or problem where a custom infrared remote control is the solution. [… ...

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 ...

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… ...

A flex sensor is a different category of sensor, where the resistance changes depending on the extent of the flex or "bend". Such changes can be read as electrical signals on the Arduino's input pin.

In this experiment we are going to use a element called photoresistor. This sensor allows us to interact with the external environment, through intensity of light. The photoresistor is based on light ...

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 document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Rotary encoder vs potentiometer A rotary encoder is a wonderful digital alternative to the old analog potentiometers. Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors (or selectors) and look similar to ...

Aiming at sensor fusion application development, Rutronik has created a single Arduino-compatible board with a plethora of sensors from Infineon, Bosch SE and Sensirion. Called ‘RAB1 – Sensorfusion’, ...

Arduino is an inexpensive, small electronics platform for makers. Here's how to get started with it on macOS.
