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 ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...

Infrared line tracker modules hardly need an in-depth explanation as they’re very familiar to most electronics and robotics hobbyists. In this post I’ll discuss a popular and cheap infrared line ...

The project aims to build a very simple clock that does not contain any buttons, alarms, or settings besides time as it uses infrared to detect light. The IR sensor data is being read by the ...

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) strive to catch computer system intrusion & utilize by any garnering and analyzing data. Wireless IDSs garner all local wireless transmissions and generate alerts ...

If you have a few hours spare and fancy creating a new Arduino project in your spare time you might be interested in this fun Arduino infrared touchscreen music controller which has been created by ...

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 ...

Old infrared remote controls can be a great way to interface with your projects. One of [AnalysIR’s] latest blog posts goes over the simplest way to create an Arduino based IR receiver, making it ...
