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 ...

Thanks to an IR proximity sensor, [romain] can interrupt the cycle and get the date, time, temperature, or even a smiley animation depending on the number of hand passes over the sensor.

Here is an ultra simple Arduino Night Alarm project wired around a handful of inexpensive and easily available components. One advantage of using Arduino as a security system is the flexibility!

When an object nears the board, the infrared light from the emitters reflects off of it and onto the phototransistor. And since the Arduino works as an AVR programmer you don’t need special ...

This is an Arduino-based Proximity Sensor circuit wired using the popular HC-SR04 Ultrasonic ranging module,used here for non-contact object detection purpose. The HC-SR04 module includes ultrasonic ...

As of now, the company has decided to use the ultrasonic technology for proximity sensing and take on the infrared-based proximity sensors.

Maxim has introduced a digital ambient light sensor that allows for incandescent and fluorescent illumination, and it senses proximity using infra-red. Called MAX44000 and made on a BiCMOS process, ...

TAOS, the Leading Global Supplier of Integrated Light Sensors, Debuts Industry’s First Digital Color Sensors with On-Chip IR Filtering and Proximity Sensing ...

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

In addition, for short range presence and proximity applications, the sensors’ reduced sensitivity eliminates the need for extremely low emitter forward currents, which can lead to unstable ...
