RCWL-0516 Doppler Radar Motion Sensor Module – Revised Primer
This is a quick revision of the cheap and popular motion sensor radar module RCWL-0516 (https://www.codrey.com/electronic-circuits/microwave-radar-motion-sensor-switch/). The RCWL-0516 module would be a good choice for making motion sensing lamps and other devices, and it probably […]
Pro Mini Beacon Light
This is an updated version of an old project that was published in EFY Magazine (print) 21 years ago! Now you can see that article here https://www.electronicsforu.com/electronics-projects/solidstate-signal-lamp This time I’m using a minuscule microcontroller to […]
Raspberry Pi Pico & Sweeping Servo
A servo motor is a compact motor whose shaft turns to position something based on a control signal. The common servo motor consists of plastic housing that contains a small motor, control circuitry, and a […]
Arduino Touch Sensor/Capacitive Proximity Sensor
A capacitive proximity sensor is a non-contact device that can detect the presence or absence of an object in its close vicinity. It utilizes the electrical property of capacitance and the change of capacitance based […]
Arduino Optical/Light Theremin – Make it Yourself!
The theremin is an electronic musical instrument with two metal rods (antennas) used to control pitch and amplitude by the human operator using hand gestures. The left rod (a horizontal hoop) reduces the amplitude as […]
Toy Car Signal Light & Siren
This post showcases an example project I made to help you add a terrific signal light and siren to almost all toy cars. As we all know, cheap remote control (radio control) toy cars (R/C […]
