The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

As electricity grids become smart, sensors are ever more relevant to capturing data and informing on the power network’s state of play and performance. But the performance of sensors needs to be ...

Abstract: This letter presents an inductive sensor based on a micromachined coil for the detection of conductive targets. The proposed sensor consists of a planar micromachined sensing coil, a signal ...

From roller coasters and farm equipment to discrete and batch manufacturing, inductive sensors enable precise metal detection and automation across every industry. Learn more about their diverse ...

Where non-magnetic inductive sensing is an attractive approach. The challenges of configuring these sensors. How a new trio of sensor-interface ICs and coil-optimizer tool simplify the challenge. It ...

Just about every “getting started with microcontrollers” kit, Arduino or otherwise, includes an ultrasonic distance sensor module. Given the power of microcontrollers these days, it was only a matter ...

Three magnet-free inductive position sensors from Renesas provide a cost-effective alternative to magnetic and optical encoders. With different coil architectures, the ICs address a wide range of ...

Melexis announced the MLX90514, a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit (IC). The novel device simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier ...

Melexis introduces the MLX90514, a dual-input inductive sensor IC that simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip. The inductive sensor ...

Raspberry Pi launched a follow-up to its Camera Module 3 with the Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly. Now, Raspberry Pi users can put the camera sensors into their own custom form factors. The move ...

Designing robots requires precision and flexibility. When creating a humanoid robot system, there are mechanical and electrical considerations that you need to understand before beginning the actual ...
