The goal of the capacitive liquid sensor is to measure the change in capacitance or charge between two metal plates depending on the material between them, making it safe to use with any liquid. The ...

If you’re building an omniscient home-automation system, it’s ability to make decisions is only as good as the input you give it. [Petewill]’s self-made panopticon now knows when someone is in bed.

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

Today the official Arduino development team has announced the availability of the Arduino MKR IoT Carrier from its online store priced at €48. Equipped with a wide variety of sensors, circuits and ...

Arduino, the open-source hardware, software and content platform, has collaborated with Chinese DIY electronics company, Seeed to create the Arduino Sensor Kit. The kit brings Seeed’s Grove sensors to ...

The multi-voltage CA30CLN12M Series capacitive sensor with relay and optional time delay output provides reliable detection of solid, fluid or granulated substances. The capacitive sensor is equipped ...

Makers, and developers that are creating robotic projects using the Arduino platform maybe interested in a new Arduino compatible gyroscope sensor created by Martin Cote based in Canada. The 3 axis ...
