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 ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

Infrared line tracker modules hardly need an in-depth explanation as they’re very familiar to most electronics and robotics hobbyists. In this post I’ll discuss a popular and cheap infrared line ...

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 ...

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) strive to catch computer system intrusion & utilize by any garnering and analyzing data. Wireless IDSs garner all local wireless transmissions and generate alerts ...

IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...
