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 ...

Some kinds of optical sensors are blind to conditions that others handle deftly. • Machine builders cannot rely upon a “one-sensor-fits-all” mentality. • Most common sensors today include standard ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

Over the past decade, photoelectric sensing has undergone a steady transition in which older, conventional sensors are being replaced by an innovative technology called background suppression (BGS).
