I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Android O takes that a step further and will actually turn the display off again if the sensor is covered. Again, imagine putting the phone back in your pocket after checking ambient display.

The proximity sensor of an Android device is capable of turning off the Ambient Display as of Android O, one user running the latest developer preview of the operating system has uncovered.

Conversely, in the iPhone 15 series, the proximity sensor is situated within the dynamic island, with almost no change to the Dynamic Island area.

Innovations in integrated optical sensor operation The TMD3719 from ams features new and patent-pending innovations from ams to enable ambient light sensing and proximity detection BOLED display.

After the release of 3D Touch force-sensing input on iPhone 6s, Apple continues its push for the perfect input technology, most recently winning a patent that uses inline proximity sensors to ...

In the 8.1 dev preview on any device, just as in 8.0 on the Pixel 2 and 2 XL, the proximity sensor has no bearing on the functioning of Ambient Display, or at least it doesn’t shut off when you ...

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 ...

[Dustin Andrews] built this add-on board which works as a proximity sensor. He wanted a standalone sensor for his Arduino projects which would use a single pin as a trigger. This lets him alert ...
