A new Instructables page has been created to make an eco-friendly DIY metal detector using an Arduino Mega just been combined with a 3.2 inch TFT LCD touchscreen to provide a fantastic readout ...

One of the essential parts of any home security system is a door detector that lets you know when a door opens. Over on Adafruit, they show you how to build your own that hooks into IFTTT so you ...

Using the power of Arduino, Evan Kale has ingeniously transformed a weed wacker into an Arduino-powered metal detector. This innovative project showcases the versatility and potential of Arduino ...

An Arduino can measure time, a coil and a resistor will create a delay proportional to the circuit values, and metal around the coil will change the coil’s inductance.

[Sebastian Tomczak] was borrowing a homeade muon detector from his friend, and managed to hook it up to his computer through an Arduino. The detector itself uses 3 fluorescent tubes to detect radia… ...

Professional metal detectors are simple, but require a bit of work to make. But you can build a pared-down handheld detector using a calculator, an AM/FM radio and some masking tape.

John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller. (Click the links to see PDFs of the complete ...
