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 ...

This project is an object/person detection counter built with an Arduino Uno, an IR sensor, and a 16x2 LCD display. Whenever an object (e.g., a person walking past or a hand wave) interrupts the IR ...

If you’ve ever needed a short-range remote control for a project, [firestorm] is here to help you out. He put up a great tutorial on using an IR remote to do just about anything with everyone’s ...

Photoelectric sensors detect objects and surface changes using variations in optical properties. Each sensor includes a light emitter and a receiver, with most relying on infrared light. In optical ...

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 ...

Abstract: DC motor could be controlled different ways with different approaches. One of the problems has been identifying internal specifications of DC motor such as Torque constant, back-emf constant ...
