[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

A capacitive sensing evaluation kit from Cypress Semiconductor is being made available free to design engineers by distributor Future Electronics on its ‘My Board Club’ website. The CY3280-MBR3 ...

This project is a simple modification of the LightGauge project. Instead of measuring light, we measure the ambient voltage field on pin A5 and use it to detect if someone is too close to our Arduino.

This post is a review of the popular waterproof ultrasonic sensor JSN-SR04T. I hope this will serve as a backdrop for some interesting ultrasonic distance sensor experiments and projects. A number of ...

[Kevin Osborn] is making it a bit easier for young programmers to write programs that interact with the physical world. The device he’s holding in the picture is an Arduino based accelerometer and ...
