Viewing BuildCircuit’s Gerber Files on EasyEDA Gerber Viewer

We have been using different online Gerber viewers for checking our Gerber files before sending the PCB designs for manufacturing. We have now started using EasyEDA’s Gerber viewer because it helps us to visualize the PCB that would appear after it is manufactured. The application is pretty straightforward and we can check different files to see the changes on…

Motion sensor

Here’s a simple motion sensor. Sketch has been taken from Arduino site. The sensor’s output pin goes to HIGH if motion is present.  However, even if motion is present it goes to LOW from time to time, which might give the impression no motion is present. This program deals with this issue by ignoring LOW-phases shorter…
