Every smart home owner is likely to be familiar with “passive infra red” (PIR) motion sensors as they’re an easy way to start off making a home a little smarter They’re quite distinctive too, with the ...

Functions to go a specified distance: Driving speed PWM (2.0 V) is the PWM value to use for driving a fixed distance. If it is set higher than RAMP_VALUE_OFFSET_SPEED_PWM (2.3 V), the software ...

Murata SMD TYPE IRS-D200ST00R1 is one of the world’s smallest PIR motion sensors at just 6 x 6 mm in size and with a 2.6 mm thickness. Its name implies, it’s a reflowable SMD component, which ...

Over on his YouTube channel our hacker [Yuchi] is building an STM32 BLDC motor winding machine. This machine is for winding brushless motors because manual winding is highly labor intensive. The ...

Rutronik Adapter Board RAB7 is an open-source hardware Arduino shield designed for AI-powered Sensor Fusion with seven environmental and inertial sensors from Bosch, Infineon, and Sensirion. The ...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a control system for a direct current (DC) motor using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, based on the speed and direction control of the motor ...

The new MOTIX™ family of full-bridge ICs is designed for smart brushed DC motor applications, enhancing comfort and convenience in vehicles. As the automotive industry continues to develop, features ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar-sensor integrated circuits enable a variety of proximity-sensing applications. Today, 60-GHz radar sensors are replacing ...

As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...
