Here is my instructable on how to construct a pretty simple (for some!) short range infrared rangefinder/range sensor. Infrared rangefinders are very useful in a number of projects. The majority of these come from obstacle detection (in robots) or generally detecting distances! The one shown here is only a simple rangefinder and will only really

Arduino Calibration

Calibrating sensor input using Arduino

Projects, Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

This example demonstrates one techinque for calibrating sensor input. The Arduino takes sensor readings for five seconds during the startup, and tracks the highest and lowest values it gets. These sensor readings during the first five seconds of the sketch execution define the minimum and maximum of expected values for the readings taken during the

Better LED as light sensor

Better LED as light sensor

LED Projects, Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

As a result of the questions from lekirst  on this ible of my hand: LED-as-lightsensor-on-the-arduino/ and the cleaner code made by hansc44 at:  Arduino-Use-LED-as-a-light-sensor/ it was time to come with a better Ible. So here it is. (I didn’t solve lekirst’s problems yet so she probably is open for suggestions) What is the idea? You might know that a LED emits light

DIY Muscle Sensor EMG Circuit for a Microcontroller

DIY Muscle Sensor / EMG Circuit for a Microcontroller

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

Measuring muscle activation via electric potential, referred to as electromyography (EMG) , has traditionally been used for medical research and diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. However, with the advent of ever shrinking yet more powerful microcontrollers and integrated circuits, EMG circuits and sensors have found their way into prosthetics, robotics and other control systems. Yet, EMG
