“The device features an ultrasonic sensor for measuring the distance to the nearest object, an accelerometer for measuring the angle with respect to the ground, an LCD display for showing the results and a custom designed PCB on which all components are connected.” Combining an ultrasonic sensor for range measurement and an accelerometer for measuring…
We test with the wearable application and three-dimensional gesture detection prototype device, by making the GPS receiver interact with the onboard IMU in order to improve position detection process. The Tactigon, as explained in the dedicated article n issue No. 220, is an intelligent device (and moreover Arduino-compatible) that allows to crete a controller…
Adafruit has announced the arrival of a couple of new products to its ever-growing range of electronic components in the form of the PyCom Pytrack and Pysense. The new Shields work with all PyCom boards including the LoPy and WiPy 2 and its add-on daughterboard that will make creating geo-tracking projects even easier, thanks to…
