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 ...

When a Raspberry Pi is overkill.

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 ...

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 ...

In today’s modern world, we find a wide range of appliances managed by handheld remote controls, whose decoder function historically has often been provided by a dedicated chip. However, given the ...
