In this video, I'm exploring the use of Mini PIR Sensors with ESP32 with both Arduino-based projects as well as making a movement sensor for Home Assistant by using ESPHome. The sensor is quite ...
In this video I'm building an Arduino Heart Rate Monitor that is housed in a toy handle in the style of the Star Trek Tricoder. The device uses the PulseSensor with an Arduino Pro Mini and an OLED ...
Ultrasonics refers to signals that are above the human hearing span (>20 kHz), and usually in the 40- to 70-kHz range. These signals are used like radar—they’re radiated toward a target and reflected ...
Today I learned that WiFi and Bluetooth LE could NOT be used simultaneously on Arduino boards featuring the ESP32-based u-blox NINA-W102 wireless module, ...
The library gives control over up to 16 parallel working PIR devices over I2C. The idea for this library came up in a discussion about how to fully cover an area with PIR sensors without blind spots ...
There have been many questions about what direction Arduino would take after being bought by Qualcomm. Now it would seem that we’re getting a clearer picture. Perhaps unsurprisingly the answer appears ...
In recent years, the demand for smart security and automated monitoring systems has increased significantly due to growing safety concerns and the need for real-time surveillance. Traditional security ...
What's CODE SWITCH? It's the fearless conversations about race that you've been waiting for. Hosted by journalists of color, our podcast tackles the subject of race with empathy and humor. We explore ...
Say goodbye to embarrassing parking mishaps. Whether you’re after added peace of mind during close-quarters maneuvering of your car or truck or you share a vehicle with a younger or less-experienced ...
Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
This usermod-v2 modification allows the connection of a PIR sensor to switch on the LED strip when motion is detected. The switch-off occurs ten minutes after no more motion is detected. I use the PIR ...
