Motion Sensor Widget

I’m really enjoying my widget PCB design. Simple, cheap, easy bake oven for SOIC, program in C, add an Xbee for wireless real-time control, how cool is that? Here I have one hooked up to a parallax IR motion sensor. With a bit of C code it controls the servo based on the input from the motion sensor. Think railroad crossing signals- that crossing arm that comes dowm and blocks the traffic, right?

Anyhow, great fun and a good project to post over to controlwidgets.com

I’m looking at a $9 retail for board and components. Software will be free and open source. Of course 🙂
