Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

Automated test stations don’t always need proprietary test tools. Using a microcontroller, a PC, and free software tools, we developed an automated test station to test and align motion sensors. Test ...

The ZMOTION Detection Module II (ZDM II) from Zilog provides integration and flexibility for passive infrared (PIR)-based motion detection applications including customer sensing, lighting control and ...

There’s no shortage of ESP32 development boards out there, with many of them offering some “killer app” feature which may or may not align with whatever it is you’re trying to do. But if you’ve got a ...

It’s really hard to overstate how awesome ESP8266 development boards like the Wemos D1 Mini really are. For literally a couple of dollars you can get a decently powerful Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller ...

The LSM320DL multi-sensor module provides what the company says is five degrees of freedom. In essence, the integration of a three-axis digital accelerometer with a two-axis digital gyroscope in a ...

The Xsens Avior is a lightweight, OEM form factor inertial measurement unit (IMU) with a compact 36.8mm x 40mm footprint which offers enhanced performance in a wide variety of industrial and ...

Kangaroo’s latest motion sensor adds entry detection to the mix, but its lack of geofencing capabilities or support for any type of security camera makes it tough to recommend. It’s one thing to snap ...

Motion and entry sensors are ideal for monitoring your home while you're away, but most of these devices are part of a home security system and require a hub. The ...

The Bolt-830MRS is an 8MP monochrome MIPI camera built on the Onsemi AR0830 HyperLux LP sensor, delivering 4K rolling shutter ...
