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 or a ...

A minimal example that reads a digital IR (obstacle/proximity) sensor on pin D2 and lights the onboard LED (pin 13) when an object is detected. The project is configured to build with PlatformIO for ...

Have you ever wondered how speed guns measure the speed of moving vehicles or how an athlete's sprint speed is recorded? Normally these speed sensors work with radar or laser technology to bounce back ...

Have you ever noticed how shopping malls, parking lots, or event venues seem to track the number of people or cars present inside? You might think they use an AI camera to count them, but in reality, ...

Photoelectric sensors detect objects and surface changes using variations in optical properties. Each sensor includes a light emitter and a receiver, with most relying on infrared light. In optical ...

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 ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

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 ...

Arduino Nesso N1 is a new ESP32-C6 IoT development kit with not only 2.4 GHz WiFi 6, Bluetooth LE, and an 802.15.4 radio for Zigbee/Thread/Matter, but also a LoRa radio and an IR transmitter for smart ...
