Vishay Semiconductors has created an interesting reflectance proximity detector (VCNL4000) that includes an infrared (IR) LED and a photodetector. A second sensor in the same package measures ambient ...
With a spot diameter of 7 mm, the OP207CL infrared LED emitter from TT Electronics produces uniform, parallel light output for precision optical sensing and position encoder applications. 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
