[Andy] demonstrates building an ultrasonic anemometer using a cheap after-market parking distance sensor kit and an Arduino. Demo video after the break. Aside from the price, these kits have the ...

The microcontroller-based concept was chosen because I wanted to scale the sensor system later to suit other applications. Here is the diagram of my Arduino infrared close proximity sensor. As you can ...

Basically, a ToF distance sensor uses the time that it takes for photons to travel ... See the tried-and-true adapter circuit diagram below. A simple Arduino Sketch for obtaining the measurement data ...

[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.

Likely applications are button designs and proximity sensing. The kit’s board also includes ... The kit works as a stand-alone unit and as an Arduino-compatible shield. It can be used to add a ...

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 ...

The latest in the series from the team behind OEMSecrets, which powers our EW-Compare component price comparison system, considers STMicroelectronics’ VL53L1X laser-based distance sensors – ideally ...
