Take a Si1120 Ir-LED sensor and seven infrared LEDs. Add in one ultra-low power C8051F930 MCU. Mix thouroughly. The result is Silicon Labs' $199 Si1120 Evaluation Kit. It could also be your next 3D ...

I needed a multichannel line tracker sensor module for an upcoming project. A quick search found several versions of infrared line tracker sensor modules that met or exceeded my demands, but I picked ...

From self-driving cars to facial recognition, infrared sensors are all around us and our novel semiconductor research is taking this technology to the next level. Phlux - a Sheffield spinout -has ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...

In addition to its narrow beam angle, the SFH 4718A provides a radiant intensity of 730 W/sr. At a current of 1 A, the IR LED delivers an optical output of 0.8 W. The 850 nm wavelength is barely ...

Most consumer remote controls operate using infrared light. This works well assuming the piece of equipment has a line of sight to the remote. But if you have, say a receiver in a cabinet or closet, ...

Omron Electronic Components has introduced a non-contact MEMS thermal sensor that it claims can detect the presence of humans in an area without the need for movement. The sensor is intended as an ...

Sphero has announced another rolling ball robot called the Sphero Bolt. The Sphero Bolt follows in the company’s ethos of having a commitment to education-based products, but it comes with some ...

LED chip packaging house Bright Led Electronics has landed orders for one billion infrared LED sensor modules worth NT$2 billion (US$66.7 million) through a China-based maker of LED whiteboards, with ...
