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 ...

Photoelectric sensors detect objects and surface changes using variations in optical properties. Each sensor includes a light emitter and a receiver, with most relying on infrared light. In optical ...

This project is an object/person detection counter built with an Arduino Uno, an IR sensor, and a 16x2 LCD display. Whenever an object (e.g., a person walking past or a hand wave) interrupts the IR ...

A robust Arduino-powered robot engineered to autonomously follow a defined path using a five-sensor IR array and advanced feedback logic. This project demonstrates practical embedded systems design, ...

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 ...

Abstract: This research introduces an innovative Arduino-based solution to address energy wastage in street lighting, which activates lights autonomously in the presence of vehicles or pedestrians.

Old infrared remote controls can be a great way to interface with your projects. One of [AnalysIR’s] latest blog posts goes over the simplest way to create an Arduino based IR receiver, making it ...

We’ve featured loads of IR Arduino projects and they are all exciting and unique. The projects spring from a specific need or problem where a custom infrared remote control is the solution. [Rick’s] ...

Abstract: Transportation serves as a means of connecting and has a very significant role in the movement of goods and people. Road transportation as connectivity between regions in urban areas, has ...
