This tutorial will guide you through the process of building a tachometer around an Arduino. Tachometers are used to measure rotation rate in Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). You don’t need much… ...

Using motion detectors and an Arduino you can trigger lights, fans, or even an pneumatically controlled cleaver-wielding clown to help add your house to the “if you dare” list.

Matt Williamson built a tiny, Arduino-based motion sensor that will SMS you when something moves by your desk or into a room. It's completely open source and the notifications system runs on your ...

Even though Attiny85 is fitting here, I opted for Digispark just because of its plethora of features like USB programming interface, on-board voltage regulator, and Arduino IDE compatibility. The code ...

[Gesyuk] is using an Arduino clone by the name of Funduino Mini Pro, a 2-channel, 2-way relay, — he only needed one, but you use what you have on hand — a recycled power supply to convert 220V ...
