To replicate Krejci’s design, you need an Arduino UNO Rev3 board, an AMG8833 infrared sensor module ... processing capabilities of the SciPy python library on the Pi, we are able to impose ...

The microcontroller-based concept was chosen because I wanted to scale the sensor system later to suit other applications. Here is the diagram of my Arduino infrared close proximity sensor. As you can ...

This specific sensor was chosen because others have successfully interfaced it with the Arduino. Not having to reinvent the wheel is good thing! For the build, [Brian] decided to hook up the IR ...
