[Klaus] wanted some sort of aid for parking his car, and after running across a $4 ultrasonic sensor, decided to build his own speaking distance sensor (.de, Google Translation). Inside [Klaus]’ ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

Discover a sensor the size of an IC that works by measuring the time it takes light emitted to bounce off of a target and return. About a year ago, a coworker told me about a new kind of distance ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

Developers, makers and hobbyists building projects requiring distance sensors may be interested to know that the new Garmin’s LIDAR-Lite V3 is now available to purchase from online stores such as ...

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 ...

Distant sensors work as one, simultaneously enhancing both precision and resolution. (Nanowerk News) Precise metrology forms a fundamental basis for advanced science and technology, including ...
