The Turtle Bot is one of the classics for Arduino tinkering. The YouTuber UncleStem has built it seven times larger – and it works. The hobbyist and YouTuber UncleStem has built the often-replicated ...

When you think of Arduino projects, your mind likely goes straight to RFID door locks, weather sensors, or automated plant watering systems. While these are undeniably pretty cool projects, you might ...

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 ...

In a nutshell: For the growing community of at-home hardware tinkerers, a new project offers a striking example of how low-cost components and open-source collaboration are closing the gap between ...

Currently this library only supports the sensors mentioned above. If you want to use other distance sensors with this libraries you can do that by adding the appropriate source files. Have a look at ...

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 ...

This is a library for the Arduino IDE that helps interface with ST's VL53L4CD time-of-flight distance sensor. The library makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

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 ...
