Motion Sensing Alarm with an Arduino and IR Sensors

Create a Motion-Sensing Alarm with an Arduino and IR Sensors

Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to measure distances, but they can also be used to detect objects. By connecting a couple of IR sensors to an Arduino, you can make an intruder alarm. Overview Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to estimate the distance of an object, but you can also use them to detect the

Earth Globe Rotating With Arduino Or Raspberry Pi Controlled Stepper Motor using arduino

Earth Globe Rotating With Arduino Or Raspberry Pi Controlled Stepper Motor using arduino

This instructable describes how to upgrade your globe to a motorized version. It looks amazingly better on the shelf when it is slowly rotating, and any demonstration with your kids (to explain the day/night cycle or the seasons) will gain in interest. No need to rotate the globe by hand while painfully holding the flash

Flash Freeze Photography with an Arduino

Flash Freeze Photography with an Arduino

Freeze moments in time to easily produce extraordinary close-up pictures with your digital camera, an Arduino, and these simple circuits. I have always been impressed by high-speed photography. The photographic capture of what normally goes unseen, or at least unnoticed, is intriguing and oftentimes beautiful. High-speed cameras, however, are expensive and beyond the reach of

Controlling a Stepper Motor with an SIRC TV Remote and a PICAXE

Controlling a Stepper Motor with an SIRC TV Remote and a PICAXE: Infrared Capabilities

This is part one of a two-part project. For part one, we will focus on IR remotes and signaling, as well as IR reception and decoding. Using IR (InfraRed) radiation to control electronic devices is widely accepted and implemented. IR devices are routinely used in alarm systems, automatic door openers, and similar applications. This project

Color Sensor and Asynchronous Mode

Quark D2000 I2C Interfacing Add a Color Sensor and Asynchronous Mode

We finish up our project using I2C on the Quark D2000 development board with the addition of a color sensor and an object color identifier program. Finally, we revisit interfacing the BH1750FVI ambient light sensor using asynchronous mode I2C. Before continuing in this article, consider reading through part one of the article: Quark D2000 I2C Interfacing:
