I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

[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 … ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

An Arduino Mega Pro Mini handles the logic, sending PWM signals to a DIY servo. The chassis consists of a modified Crazy Cart, selected for its absurdly tight turning radius.

Unlike high sensitivity fixed-gain IR sensor modules that require attenuators like dark panels, apertures, and sunshades to protect them against sunlight — adding to overall solutions costs ...

With multiple photodiodes installed, Apple would also be able to do away with the IR proximity sensor currently located next to iPhone's ear speaker.

PREMSTAETTEN, Austria---- ams, a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, today launches the world’ s smallest digital proximity sensor module.

The proximity sensing is one of the bare basic feature of any smartphone, but the IR sensor module leaves a ugly dark spot on the front of the phone – something that the ultrasonic sensor won ...

Nick Thacker has created a new style of self-balancing bike using an Arduino and a five-degree-of-freedom IMU from Sparkfun to provide the stability and keep the bike upright. The DIY Self ...
