This infrared detector circuit uses a passive IR-detector component PID20. It converts heat radiation into electrical impulses. The output voltage of the PID20 increases when an object comes close to ...

This is an IR beam breaking alarm ideal to use in entry or passages. It is based on the working of the popular IR sensor Module TSOP1738 which senses 38 kHz Infrared pulses from the IR LED of the ...

This system can monitor when a sheet of glass has either water or ice on its surface, and then generate a PWM signal to control a motor that wipes away the liquid from the glass surface. In this ...

Ever wonder how to calculate revolutions per minute using a microcontroller? This project shows you how by purposing an IR emitter and detector and a computer fan. As the fan blades spin they disrupt ...

Circuit sculpture is a great way to elevate your soldering and electronics skills to the realm of three-dimensional art. In this case, art can be practical, too. Take [romaindurocher]’s interactive ...

Imec has developed a prototype high-resolution short-wave-infrared (SWIR) image sensor with a record small pixel pitch of 1.82 µm. The sensor is based on a thin-film photodetector that is ...
