Resistor(s) (to keep from frying the LED, 220 Ohm should work for basic LEDs) Jumper wires Breadboard Arduino USB cord (to upload code) *alternatively, you can use a strand of pre-made LED string ...

Code to control an LED connected to pin 8 of the Arduino Uno based on input from a PIR motion sensor connected to pin 9. The LED turns on when motion is detected (HIGH signal) and turns off when no ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

A few years ago Josef Holmner created an awesome Arduino powered wrist worn quadcopter controller that allows pilots to control their flying drones using just one arm, and gestures which trigger ...

DIY computer company Kano has released another brightly-coloured addition to its learn-to-code arsenal: a motion sensor kit. The standalone product comes with the Kano App to teach would-be coders how ...
