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 ...

Sometimes, projects start in somewhat unlikely places. This one began when [Istvan Raduly] scored a fake raven at a neighbor’s garage sale and decided to turn it into a thunder-and-lightning ...

In the microcontroller era today, Arduino is more than just a tool to accomplish hobby tasks. There is actually a close relationship between microcontroller technology and home security, since you can ...

Where motion sensor meets LED guide light for the ultimate fusion of hands-free convenience, energy efficiency, and ...

Makers and developers looking for a motion sensor Arduino Shield, are sure to be interested in this new ICU-Duino which has been created by Patrick Thomas Mitchell based in Ottawa, Canada. The ...

PIR sensors are experiencing sustained growth in 2026 driven largely by the expansion of smart home technology and building automation.
