[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 ...

Inductive proximity sensors (IPSs) are widely used in position detection given their unique advantages. To address the problem of temperature drift, this paper presents an analog-digital mixed ...

Have you ever wondered how speed guns measure the speed of moving vehicles or how an athlete's sprint speed is recorded? Normally these speed sensors work with radar or laser technology to bounce back ...

This project involves developing a simple application using an Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor to measure the speed of an object. The application will calculate the speed based on the time taken for ...

This project is a basic simulation of an Engine Control Unit (ECU) using an Arduino. It measures engine RPM from a crankshaft sensor (like a Hall effect sensor), calculates timing, and triggers ...

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 ...

Measuring an inductor is not something that most multi-meters can do. You usually need a high precision resistor (1% or better) in series with the inductor, a function generator to put a signal ...

Inductive sensors are widely used to measure position or speed, especially in harsh environments. However, to many engineers, inductive sensor terminology and techniques can be confusing. Inductive ...

Inductive position-measuring systems (IPMSs) operate on the same principle as an inductive proximity sensor. But instead of a single sensing coil, position measuring uses a multiple-coil system ...

HOW DOES THE CHOICE OF PROXIMITY SENSORS AFFECT THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF MOTION-CENTRIC AUTOMATION SYSTEMS? Alex Baumer: Proximity sensors, through HOW DOES THE CHOICE OF PROXIMITY SENSORS AFFECT ...

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 ...
