In a given situation the digital output device you use i.e. motors, solenoids or light bulbs etc may require more voltage and amperage that a microcontroller's output pins can provide. Relays and transistors →

MakingThings sell a line of hardware tools (Make Controller) that provide an easy way to create unique interactive devices, machines, and environments by controlling a wide range of sensors and actuators →

When you would like to detect an object(s) or person(s) at a distance greater than what the IR Range Finders support, the Ultrasonic Range Finders work well. In this overview we will look at the Devantech →

A reliable way to measure short distances would be with the Sharp Infrared Range Finders. These Infrared sensors are inexpensive, relatively accurate and quite easy to use. In this overview, we will →
