Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

It's winter and time for the all-too-common issue of ADAS proximity-sensor problems, compliments of the seasonal elements.

These ultrasonic sensors are useful for tank-level measurement, remote monitoring, distance ranging, object detection and agricultural applications. They’re also implemented for irrigation, flood, ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR- ...

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 ...

Ultrasonic sensors are unique devices that harness ultrasonic waves to measure distance, detect objects and analyze material properties. Their distinctive mode of operation, advantages and ...

Here’s a comparison of the performance and limitations of inductive, capacitive, photelectric and ultrasonic proximity sensors.

System operators looking to reduce the number of different sensors used should look to the 420B and 412B series from Leuze: The new ultrasonic sensors are available with adjustable sound cone and as ...

This project combines Arduino and Processing to create a radar-like visualization of distance measurements. The Arduino code reads data from an ultrasonic sensor and a servo motor, while the ...
