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 ...

All [Dave] needed for the workings were an IR proximity sensor, a servo and a bunch of super-bright white LEDs. When the sensor detects something, it starts up the system.

Thanks to an IR proximity sensor, [romain] can interrupt the cycle and get the date, time, temperature, or even a smiley animation depending on the number of hand passes over the sensor.

IR proximity detector works up to 1m Vishay’s VCNL4100 is an IR proximity sensor that works up to 1m, and includes an ambient light sensor. Inside, it combines an infra-red (940nm) emitter, photo ...

Those sensors include a Waveform flame sensor module, a DHT11 temperature & humidity sensor, and an IR receiver. You can see the prototype in use below, picking up the flame from a regular lighter.
