element14 presents | Modding a Smoke Machine to Add Motion Detection @element14presents | Uploaded 11 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
Andy was discussing Halloween project ideas with a fellow engineer, and he was looking at how you might trigger a smoke machine from a motion sensor. His Halloween project this week involves reverse engineering, a mains relay, and an optical isolator to detect the motion. The smoke machine is ready to go, with the whole thing controlled by a Raspberry Pi Pico!
