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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A DIY Robot comprised of two microcontrollers, namely the ESP32 and Arduino Nano; integrated with multiple sensors. An IR Sensor Array [TCRT5000] for Line Following, Ultrasonic Sensor for Obstacle ...

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 ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...
