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 ...

Vishay Semiconductors has created an interesting reflectance proximity detector (VCNL4000) that includes an infrared (IR) LED and a photodetector. A second sensor in the same package measures ambient ...

A DTMF-based IR transmitter and receiver pair can be used to realize a proximity detector. The circuit presented here enables you to detect any object capable of reflecting the IR beam and moving in ...

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 ...

Proximity detection adds many smart features to the devices we use.For example, when making a call with a phone held to your ear, face detection using proximity sensing can disable the touchscreen and ...
