The sensitivity of the proximity sensor circuit can be adjusted with P1 for the desired “distance”. One of its obvious uses is to open a door automatically. For this the sensor must be placed on the ...

Gesture-controlled gadgets were all the rage at CES back in January. I’m still not convinced it’s a good way to change TV channels, but it can’t hurt to learn how to program for a motion sensor.

Leviton's excellent 2nd-gen motion-sensing Wi-Fi smart dimmer (model D2MSD) can be combined with a wireless, battery-powered ...

Moderately priced Passive Infrared PIR Sensor modules are now widely available. By using these readymade and pre-configured PIR sensors, even an average electronics hobbyist can construct his/her own ...

As things get smaller, we can fit more processing power into devices like robots to allow them to do more things or interact with their environment in new ways. If not, we can at least build them for ...

Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors are electronic devices that detect motion by sensing infrared radiation emitted by objects. Every object with a temperature above absolute zero emits infrared radiation.

Driver fatigue monitoring and seat occupancy are just two of the capabilities of the PS25203 EPIC (electrical potential integrated circuit) sensor, which will find homes in automotive applications ...
