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 ...

Objective: To build a system where an LED blinks whenever the IR sensor detects an object within its proximity range. This can be used in various applications, such as a simple object detection system ...

IR sensors are now widely used in motion detectors, which are used in building services to switch on lamps. They are also used in alarm systems to detect unwelcome guests. Since all object have some ...

As indicated, our system requires a “Logic High (H)” level input to wake up. The best sensor you can use to detect an intrusion is the Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor. The PIR Sensor detects the motion ...

The IR Detector proximity sensor has launched via Kickstarter and is now available to back from just $5 with worldwide delivery expected to take place during February 2019.
