This project primarily consists of four units: Microchip Technology’s SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, a sensor unit, an ADC0804 ADC component and the LCD module. Along with detecting an obstacle, its exact ...

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 ...

[Chris] at PyroElectro sent in a great 8-part write-up of a miniature infrared theremin. The theremin is based on a PIC microcontroller and an infrared distance sensor. The build log goes through the ...

Vishay’s VCNL4100 is an IR proximity sensor that works up to 1m, and includes an ambient light sensor. Inside, it combines an infra-red (940nm) emitter, photo detectors for proximity and ambient light ...

Design demands include a decrease in device size, cost and power consumption, while improving accuracy, sensitivity and reliability, observes Bill Walsh of Digi-Key Electronics. Of the four common ...

Non-contact infrared (IR) thermometers used to be something of an exotic tool, but thanks at least in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they’re now the sort of thing you see hanging up near the ...

The Melexis infrared (IR) thermometer makes it safe to measure the surface temperaturesof hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach objects without having to physically touch them.(Omega Engineering’s website ...
