After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece of code borrowed from the web that I tweaked and adapted. The microcontroller-based concept was chosen because I wanted to scale ...

The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

Circuit Setup: Wire up the touch sensor module to the Arduino Uno as per the circuit setup section. Code Upload: Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch. Copy and paste the provided Arduino code ...

Capacitive proximity sensors allow sensing of metal and non-metal objects through insulating materials such as wood or plastic and are often used to sense fill levels of liquids or powders. New lower ...

There are many types of contactless sensors available in the market, including capacitive sensors, ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors and optical sensors. In this article, we are going to look at a ...

Soft robotics are considered one of the most promising approaches toward fully collaborative robotic devices. Soft robotic systems are intrinsically safe due to their compliant nature. Using additive ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front ...

Capacitive sensing libraries for the Arduino and just about every other microcontroller platform have been around for ages now, but if you’d like to put a slightly complex cap sense pad in a … ...

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce the launch of the new CD34 Series liquid level capacitive sensors. The CD34 Series is designed to detect water-based liquids through non-metallic walls, i.e. plastic ...
