IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

Aura family of sensors are available in 30µm, 80µm and 200µm versions, and are 12X more sensitive than conventional InGaAs APDs extending the range and accuracy of IR systems by up to 50% for a given ...

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in the ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. now offers a new extended temperature “E” option for its TSSP77038 infrared (IR) sensor module in the Heimdall package. Designed for outdoor applications, the Vishay ...

If you need to measure a distance, it is tempting to reach for the ubiquitous ultrasonic module like an HC-SR04. These work well, and they are reasonably easy to use. However, they aren’t without ...

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 latest in the series from the team behind OEMSecrets, which powers our EW-Compare component price comparison system, considers STMicroelectronics’ VL53L1X laser-based distance sensors – ideally ...

AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for both military and commercial applications, today announced that its Mantis i45 electro-optical/infrared ...
