Makers, Arduino enthusiasts and students looking to learn more about ultrasonic sensors, may be interested in this DIY Arduino radar created by Mr Innovative. Capable of detecting objects placed ...

Ultrasonic sensors work using ultrasound to build up an image of your fingerprint (yes, really) and work better with messy fingerprints - if your hands are wet or oily with sun cream, for example.

Instead, it relies on an ultrasonic distance sensor to detect a hand (or foot) waved in front of the door. An Arduino Leonardo runs the show, sounding a buzzer when the ultrasonic sensor is triggered.

A low-cost (~$100), do-it-yourself (DIY) ultrasonic water level sensor/datalogger has been designed, constructed, and tested for use in education, citizen/community science, and research settings. The ...
