Use an Arduino and a PIR sensor to detect simple motions via Arduino Blog

By

In this article, we’ll show you how to make a gesture detector by simple components like PIR sensor and Arduino Nano. At the end of this article you can:

  • Explain PIR sensor applications and how it works
  • Run an 8-Pixel PIR sensor named TPA81
  • Use PIR sensor to detect motion and gesture by Arduino
  • Make a cool detector to increase or decrease your speaker volume

On my iPhone…IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS

This DIY domino clock tells the time using three LED-lit tiles via Arduino Blog

By
After coming across Carbon Design Group’s Domino Wall Clock, which uses electronic magnetic coil motors to reveal white dots, Instructables member “Kothe” decided to create a simplified version of their own. The clock is comprised of three custom dominoes — the first tile for hours, the second and third for minutes. Unlike its inspiration, Kothe’s device uses addressable RGB LEDs as dots that allow for a variety of colors to shine through.
