Using a Lidar sensor with Python

Using a Lidar sensor with Python

In this tutorial, we’ll look at how to set up a Lidar sensor map in Python. The lidar sensor is used for spatial orientation and mapping. Lidar sensor description The lidar sensor is a laser distance sensor coupled to a motor that drives it. It behaves like a...
Building an automatic barrier

Building an automatic barrier

In this project, we’re going to build an automatic gate using an infrared sensor and a servomotor controlled by Arduino. Objective Using an Arduino program, we’re going to make the automatic barrier rise when an object passes through, and lower when the...
Using a Tilt switch with Arduino

Using a Tilt switch with Arduino

A tilt switch is used to detect the orientation or tilt of a system. It is often used to indicate if a system (such as an agricultural vehicle) is beyond its operating tilt range, or to detect the orientation of a display and thus change its layout. It does not...
Using a Reed Switch (ILS) with Arduino

Using a Reed Switch (ILS) with Arduino

A reed switch or ILS is a magnetic sensor that detects the presence of a magnetic field. This switch will be activated by approaching a magnet. It can be used to know if a door is closed or open or to detect the presence of an object. Material Computer Arduino UNO USB...
Using a water level sensor with Arduino

Using a water level sensor with Arduino

The water level sensor is designed to detect water, it can be widely used to detect precipitation, water level in a cavity or even liquid leakage. The sensor is mainly composed of three parts: an electronic connector, a 1 MΩ resistor and several lines of bare wire....
