Parking sensors have become a must-have these days given the crowded cities we live in, but instead of paying hundreds of dollars to get them installed in your car, why not build your own at home?

Recent Arduino projects showcase increasingly sophisticated multi-sensor integration, from multiplexers solving I²C address conflicts to interactive hubs with multiple modes. Developers are pairing ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

When [Robot Cantina] isn’t busy tweaking the 420cc Big Block engine in their Honda Insight, they’re probably working on some other completely far out automotive atrocity. In the video below the break, ...

A common hacker upgrade to an espresso machine is to improve stability and performance with a better temperature controller, but [Schematix]’s Smart Coffee project doesn’t stop there. It entirely ...

From classrooms to backyards, makers are building Arduino-powered solar trackers to squeeze every drop of energy from the sun. These devices use sensors, motors, and clever designs to keep panels ...

Over the last decade, the open-source movement has not only transformed the world of software, but also catalyzed a sweeping revolution in hardware tinkering. At the heart of this shift lies a ...

Proper waste sorting is very important for keeping our neighbourhoods clean and saving resources for the future. When we mix ...

The emerging field of sensor journalism gives reporters a way to capture data where none exists. If you’re ready to get started with using sensors in your own reporting, Pitt recommends the affordable ...
