[Klaus] wanted some sort of aid for parking his car, and after running across a $4 ultrasonic sensor, decided to build his own speaking distance sensor (.de, Google Translation). Inside [Klaus]&#82… ...

Like the Sharp it’s more of a proximity sensor than a distance sensor. Adafruit’s testers found it worked best at around 10 mm to around 150 mm, or around 7.5″ and under.

OD200 succeeds in achieving significantly more accurate measurements on challenging surfaces. The OD200 delivers more stable ...

Laser Distance Sensors; Infrared Distance Sensors; Time of Flight (ToF) Sensors; Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor is a very effective sensor for range-finding and distance sensing as it emits light rather ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Leddar, short for LED Detection and Ranging, is a new type of detection and ranging sensor that uses LEDs to detect objects and determine their distance. While the Leddar is low resolution, it is ...

With a 90° diagonal field of view, the VL53L7CX distance sensor from ST brings lifelike situational awareness to applications like smart equipment and robots. The ultrawide field of view is one of the ...

Sensor pad size is the major factor determining the circuit’s sensing range. For a metal disk, the circuit detects an object’s approach at a distance of about the disk diameter.

Unlike the light and proximity sensors, this is a software sensor that collates data from the device’s accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope sensors.
