[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Parking sensors have become a must-have these days given the crowded cities we live in, but instead of paying hundreds of dollars to get them installed in your car, why not build your own at home?

This project is a simple modification of the LightGauge project. Instead of measuring light, we measure the ambient voltage field on pin A5 and use it to detect if someone is too close to our Arduino.

[Dustin Andrews] built this add-on board which works as a proximity sensor. He wanted a standalone sensor for his Arduino projects which would use a single pin as a trigger. This lets him alert the ...
