Most often ultrasonic transducers are used for distance measurements, and in the DIY world, usually as a way for robots to detect obstacles. But for a weekend project, [Vinod.S] took the ultrasonic ...

As you might have noticed, the 38-KHz pulse generator is built around the evergreen timer chip NE555P (IC1). Here, the RC components (R5-C3-P1) set the astable frequency to drive the infrared light ...

This motion detector alarm can detect a moving person from a distance of 1 meter. It uses a dual IR Transmitter-Receiver module HOA1405. When the sensor detects the reflected IR rays, alarm will sound ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In this design idea, you will learn how to interface two PIC microcontrollers using a wireless 433-MHz RF transmitter/receiver pair to control up to ...
