Intro to Common Sensors You’ll Use in Your Projects
In the land of electronics, there are many different types of sensors.
If you start dabbling in electronics, it won’t be long before you end up needing/wanting to measure some sort of quantity like temperature, speed, light level, distance, sound, humidity etc.
This is especially true if you work with Arduino, RPi, PICs, or any sort of platform or microcontroller.
These days, there are many different electronic sensors to choose from. Given the pace at which technology advances and the myriad of sensors available, those new to electronics often find themselves confused about sensors and how to apply them.
10 ways to destroy an Arduino – I did all 10 at once

Skee-ball-like indoor golf game gets an automatic scoring system
After making an indoor Executive Par 3 golf game with a ramp and cups like a skee-ball machine, creator “gcal1979” decided to add an automatic scoring system to the rig.
What he came up with uses infrared break beam sensors for each of the three holes, feeding info to an Arduino Mega. Stats are shown on an electronic scoreboard behind the play area, with a seven-segment display for the hole number, as well as two four-digit units for player scores.
Dallas House Transformed Into Nintendo, Super Mario Bros. 3 Game for the Holidays
There is a jaw-dropping holiday display on Belmont Avenue in Dallas that is serving as a bit of a time machine for many.
“The response has been exactly what we wanted. People honking their horns, hanging out the window waving at us,” Katie Milam said. “We wanted to spread cheer and silliness and playfulness.”
Katie and her husband Mike transformed their house into a giant Nintendo gaming system – complete with a Super Mario Brothers game playing on a makeshift television screen.

3D Printing Custom Colors with Markers?!
Here’s one nifty trick big filament doesn’t wan’t you to know! Unless they sell a sweet transparent filament, that is…
In this video I dove deeper into the technique of using permanent markers to add color to filament before printing, testing various markers, filaments, and machines to see what works and what doesn’t.
I dumped a one of a kind Mystery SEGA Genesis Cartridge | MVG
A viewer sent me a mystery Sega Genesis Cart. In this episode we analyze it, dump it and learn of its origins.
How microwave body detectors work. With RF section schematic.
When I first took a microwave triggered lamp apart in a video I joked about the hidden chip being a standard PIR body sensor chip – and was then aghast to find that it WAS. Which meant that all the microwave signal generation and movement detection was being done by a single transistor and some cunningly designed PCB tracks.
I’ll openly admit that microwave circuitry is such a specialist area where the only people who truly understand it are those who work with that type of circuitry all the time. It’s not just a specialist area of electronics, but a specialist subsection of RF design where simple things like tracks stop behaving like conventional conductors.
DIY Wire cutting and stripper Machine | Arduino project
Hi guys in this video I have made a automatic wire cutter and stripper machine, I have used a nextion 2.8″ HMI for user interface from it you can enter the desire length of cuts for wire.
