I recently started looking through various shields I had no articles, code or tutorials for and came across a 2.8 Inch TFT LCD Shield Touch Display Screen Module For Arduino Its a cracking display, here are some pictures of it …

In this example we connect a PAJ7620 gesture sensor to an Arduino Uno The PAJ7620 integrates gesture recognition function with general I2C interface into a single chip forming an image analytic sensor system. It can recognize 9 human hand gesticulations such …

Another sensor reaches the desk, this time it is a Si1145 sensor, we will connect it to an Arduino and test it out First the sensor The Si1145/46/47 is a low-power, reflectance-based, infrared proximity, ultraviolet (UV) index, and ambient light …

In this article we look at the TMP102 digital sensor and we will connect it up to an Arduino – lets start with some technical info about this sensor The TMP102 device is a digital temperature sensor ideal for NTC/PTC …

In this article we look at the MPU-9255 and an Arduino, lets look at some information about the sensor MPU-9255 is a multi-chip module (MCM) consisting of two dies integrated into a single QFN package. One die houses the 3-Axis gyroscope …

This Rich Shield for the Arduino has many useful components onboard such as LED’s, buttons and a buzzer. It is easy and great for learning arduino development and programming This is the shield with a little remote control, we will …

The HY-SRF05 is an ultrasonic emitter/receiver used to measure distance with a precision of ~0.3cm. It sends out a 40 KHz square wave signal that reflects on objects in front of the sensor. This signal is then read back by …

In this article we connect an ADXL337 accelerometer to an Arduino Uno The ADXL337 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3g. It can measure …

In this article we will connect a BME680 sensor to an Arduino BME680 is an integrated environmental sensor developed specifically for mobile applications and wearables where size and low power consumption are key requirements. Expanding Bosch Sensortec’s existing family of …
