A team from the Northeastern University has developed a sensor that requires almost no power to work and operate. Made for the US Department of Defense's Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects ...

This project shows how to build a liquid level switch by using an IR liquid level sensor. An IR liquid level sensor works similar to an IR light barrier, with a transparent plastic cover. When the ...

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 ...

Excelitas has recently launched CaliPile - a new range of intelligent compact IR sensors capable of multiple sensing applications. CaliPile sensors combine a highly sensitive thermopile detector with ...

Most consumer remote controls operate using infrared light. This works well assuming the piece of equipment has a line of sight to the remote. But if you have, say a receiver in a cabinet or closet, ...

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 ...

The Atom® T320 is a full function uncooled IR camera core supplied ready to integrate with or without lens. The unit, which operates in the LWIR spectral range, incorporates a ULIS 12µm pixel pitch ...
