Motion Sensing Digital Camera Alarm using Arduino

Motion Sensing Digital Camera & Alarm using Arduino

Welcome to my instructable on how to make an Arduino-controlled motion sensing camera and alarm! The motivation behind this project, which I worked on in my electronics class at Pomona College, was the need to keep away varmints (particularly raccoons) that were digging up my parents’ yard. Although a simple motion sensing alarm would probably

Homemade Arduino Friendly Pulse Sensor

Homemade Arduino Friendly Pulse Sensor

I saw the Open Hardware Pulse Sensor at thought I’d try to make it at home.  Took me awhile, but here’s my bumbling process. Step 1: Pulse Sensor — Overview I’ve been working on re-making the the Open Hardware Pulse Sensor so it’d be “easy” to send off to OSHPark and make at home. I’m not sure but I

ARDUINO Laser 3D Tracking

ARDUINO Laser 3D Tracking or Range Finder

The idea of using triangulation for distance measurements is well known since Pythagorean time, when his brilliant formula become available for mathematicians. What is new in this design, is lasers power control via “blooming” effect of CMOS camera. Here this “negative” effect was put to work instead of ADC. No need high price “no-blooming” camera!

Integrated Sensor and L298N Motor Shield

Compact 3-in-1 Stripboard DIYduino with Integrated Sensor and L298N Motor Shield

I am presenting a compact design of a stripboard Arduino board (DIYduino) that includes a 2A motor driver and has additionally the functionality of a sensor shield. The 2-channel version cost approximately $29.43 and is more affordable compared to $39.00 for a commercially available system consisting of an Arduino Uno, $21.50, a sensor shield, $8.50,
