IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it into electrical signals. There are two main types of sensors: ...

Gaming Controllers I've tested them for you, and these are the 7 best TMR controllers on the shelves right now ...

Proximity detection adds many smart features to the devices we use.For example, when making a call with a phone held to your ear, face detection using proximity sensing can disable the touchscreen and ...

Vishay’s VEML6046X00 RGB IR sensor is AEC-Q100 qualified for use in vehicle displays and interior lighting. This compact device integrates a photodiode, low-noise amplifier, and 16-bit ADC in an ...

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 ...

Christopher Robertson has created a new 3D printer filament roller and feeder which offers an all-in-one IR sensor and alarm to detect all filament feeding errors automatically to help stop your ...

The ability to detect human presence can be a pretty powerful attribute for a number of devices. Versions of this technology have been around for quite some time, but artificial intelligence and ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...
