The ISL29043 is an integrated ambient and infrared light-to-digital converter with a built-in IR LED and I2C Interface (SMBus Compatible). This device uses two independent ADCs for concurrently ...

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in the ...

Take a Si1120 Ir-LED sensor and seven infrared LEDs. Add in one ultra-low power C8051F930 MCU. Mix thouroughly. The result is Silicon Labs' $199 Si1120 Evaluation Kit. It could also be your next 3D ...

I needed a multichannel line tracker sensor module for an upcoming project. A quick search found several versions of infrared line tracker sensor modules that met or exceeded my demands, but I picked ...

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 ...

Most consumer remote controls operate using infrared light. This works well assuming the piece of equipment has a line of sight to the remote. But if you have, say a receiver in a cabinet or closet, ...

Omron Electronic Components has introduced a non-contact MEMS thermal sensor that it claims can detect the presence of humans in an area without the need for movement. The sensor is intended as an ...

LED chip packaging house Bright Led Electronics has landed orders for one billion infrared LED sensor modules worth NT$2 billion (US$66.7 million) through a China-based maker of LED whiteboards, with ...
