[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 company installed stationary sensors on its furnaces, a vehicle-mounted set of sensors for its forklifts and a ...

The proximity sensor industry is projected to grow from USD 4.3 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 6.6 billion by 2030; it is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.5 ...

Q: Is this a relatively new form of non-contact proximity sensing? A: Actually, it’s the oldest. As soon as photosensitive and photoconductive sensors, along with basic electrical components, were ...

An accelerometer measures the acceleration of your phone. It does that on three axes: horizontal, vertical, and forward/backward. It also senses vibration, tilt, and free fall. Being able to calculate ...

Abstract: This paper presents a highly sensitive proximity sensor with micrometer-scale resolution. The working principle is the change in the capacitance of a movable step-impedance resonator (SIR), ...
