[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a global AI software company and the world leader in AI Virtual Smart Sensors™ currently deployed in over 500 million devices, is shipping ...

Phone sensor calibration improves smartphone accuracy and fixes common sensor issues. Learn methods, tips, and advanced steps ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

Elliptic Labs attracted a lot of attention at CES a couple of years ago when it demonstrated some pretty cool 3D gestural interactions based on ultrasonic wave technology. It allowed users to navigate ...

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 ...

Some early adopters of the Apple iPhone 4 are reporting proximity sensor issues that have led to unintended button presses as the screen switches on-and-off mid-call. The glitch, according to a post ...

This pair of musical keyboard hacks both use light to detect inputs. The pair of tips came in on the same day, which sparks talk of consipiracy theory here at Hackaday. Something in the weather must ...
