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 ...

On board the ArduSat is a suite of sensors including a spectrometer, Geiger counter, IR light sensor, electromagnetic wave sensor, a temperature sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, GPS ...

The IR Detector proximity sensor is designed to be compatible with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists and professionals alike.

This has neither. The black PCB seen to the right of the robot is an IR reflectance sensor. It shines an IR led at the floor and picks up what reflects back.

White Paper: Panasonic’s infrared array sensor explained Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in ...
