In this CD4017 project, I have shown how to make a simple motion sensor switch using 4017 IC and E18-D80NK IR proximity sensor to automate the washroom light. You can also use this circuit as a motion ...

Found this sensor qrt1114 IR sensor from youtube sensing in sumobots. This is a low range proximity sensor IR. Mostly used with analogue signal. I wondered if I can make a small range on off proximity ...

Automatic Soap Dispensers designed for use with liquid soap are now widely available, and you may well know that the hands free operation reduces the spread of germs. How about building one your own?

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 ...

Circuit sculpture is a great way to elevate your soldering and electronics skills to the realm of three-dimensional art. In this case, art can be practical, too. Take [romaindurocher]’s interactive ...

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 detectors for proximity and ambient light ...

Vishay has introduced a new infrared (IR) sensor designed to provide fast, low-cost proximity sensing in a variety of systems. The TSSP4056 is the industry's first fixed-gain sensor containing a ...

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 ...
