The TCRT5000 sensor is an infrared reflective sensor. This library is written to use with a TCRT5000 breakout's analog output and handle a threshold in software. These breakouts have typical two ...

Have you ever wondered how speed guns measure the speed of moving vehicles or how an athlete's sprint speed is recorded? Normally these speed sensors work with radar or laser technology to bounce back ...

Have you ever noticed how shopping malls, parking lots, or event venues seem to track the number of people or cars present inside? You might think they use an AI camera to count them, but in reality, ...

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 ...

The smart car parking system uses an ESP32 microcontroller, an IR sensor, a servo motor, and an Arduino Cloud account to efficiently manage parking spaces, reduce traffic congestion, and improve air ...

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 ...

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 ...
