Schematic Are we getting close Proximity Sensors Arduino

Are we getting close? Proximity Sensors + Arduino

In past tutorials, we have covered temperature, color, time, direction, but never distance or proximity. I think I strayed away from this because most of the lower cost proximity sensors are pretty drop-dead-simple to use and thought it might not be that useful. But the time has come, I’m writing about some distance/proximity sensors. While […]

CMOS Image Sensors Surpassing Moores Law

CMOS Image Sensors Surpassing Moore’s Law

PORTLAND, Ore. — Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) imaging chips are becoming the industry’s leader in advanced process technology — instead of the traditional leaders (processors and memory) — thanks to strong demand for CMOS imaging chips in everything from smartphones to tablets to medical equipment and automobiles. Apparently, now the innovation surpasses Moore’s Law,

Induction sensors don’t need a touch they’re satisfied by proximity

Induction sensors don’t need a touch, they’re satisfied by proximity

Proximity sensors working on an induction principle are able to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals very reliably. For those of you, who already work in this field, there´s everything clear for you probably and you know well, that induction sensors are literally one of the keystones for an industrial automation. For all of you, who´re

Optical Distance Measurement Sensors

Optical Distance Measurement Sensors

Our sensor technology is ideally suited for any project requiring very compact, low power, high performance distance measurement sensors, such as drones, robots, or unmanned vehicles. PulsedLight’s novel signal processing technology enables us to offer a low-cost optical distance measurement solution with performance comparable to systems costing hundreds of dollars. “PulsedLight takes distance range finding

New Sensors Could Allow Machines to Smell More Accurately Than Humans

New Sensors Could Allow Machines to Smell More Accurately Than Humans

Scientists have come up with a way of creating sensors which could allow machines to smell more accurately than humans. Every odour has its own specific pattern which our noses are able to identify. Using a combination of proteins coupled to transistors, for the first time machines are able to differentiate smells that are mirror

Automation Sensors

Security / Automation Sensors using Arduino

Security system sensors such as motion detectors, reed switches, pressure mats, glass-break detectors, infra-red beams, and conductive film can be very handy for all sorts of things including home automation systems, interactive art installations – and sometimes even security systems! Almost all security system sensors provide a simple switched output that changes state based on
