The microcontroller-based concept was chosen because I wanted to scale the sensor system later to suit other applications. Here is the diagram of my Arduino infrared close proximity sensor. As you can ...

The part list consists of one Arduino, two resistors, and one IR emitter. That’s right, an emitter. When an LED (IR or otherwise) is reverse biased it can act as a light sensor. The main ...

This specific sensor was chosen because others have successfully interfaced it with the Arduino. Not having to reinvent the wheel is good thing! For the build, [Brian] decided to hook up the IR ...

As the first electric cooktops fitted with infrared sensor technology, Sensor Dome cookertops use an infrared beam to accurately measures the heat from the cookware, then automatically shuts the ...

today introduced two new fixed-gain infrared (IR) sensor modules designed to lower costs and increase stability for outdoor sensor applications. Offering typical irradiance of 1.3 mW/m² in ...
