[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

The quick road test, oh it’s a simple approach to display the distance measurements on the Arduino Serial Monitor. I will use this sensor (or its latest version) in a more complex project in the next ...

Also note that the Theremin demonstrated here is a stripped-down (and tricky) version of the far-famed proximity-controlled musical instrument – the key difference is that it employs a cheap light ...

10 Simple-But-Fun Projects to Make With Arduino John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller.

Seeking students for projects prototyping a set of self-powered embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. These projects will sharpen your hardware and software skills.

The Arduino is a circuit board that you'll program to perform certain tasks, and what it does will entirely be up to you. You can make it do all sorts of things, ranging from creating a smart ...
