When the sensor detects that the moisture content is already below 30%, it sends a signal to the Arduino, which, in turn, activates a water pump to provide hydration to the plant.

That’s right, these parking sensors are powered by an Arduino board, and the only extra components that were used in the project are a HC SR04 ultrasonic sensor, an active buzzer, and jumper wires.

This Arduino lights dimmer project is based on Doug Hitchcock’s comment: “I need to have a lamp dimmer that can “cascade” from one lamp to the next (up to 4 lamps). Basically, when you close a switch, ...

This means you won't have to go out of your way to buy a separate board. The Uno Rev3 is also the most popular Arduino board, so expect to see tutorials and project guides available online.

By simply choosing a wireless sensor gateway for one’s favorite development platform (Arduino, Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black) and any of over 20 different types of wireless sensors, the ...

The MyoWare muscle sensor project is currently over on the Kickstarter crowd funding website looking to raise $10,000 in pledges to make the jump from concept to production. So if you think the ...

Recently, we have seen more projects utilizing lasers for range-finding, including LIDAR projects. It is very exciting to see such high-end sensors making their way into the maker/hacker realm.

This project is to prototype a set of self-powered (such as piezoelectric, thermostat, solar, etc) embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. A tangible exam is a body-temperature powered motion ...

The Saturn’s electronics aren’t sophisticated enough to implement a lean burn system simply, and so [Robot Cantina] did what any of us might have done: hacked it in with an Arduino.
