Makers and electronic enthusiasts searching for a small laser sensor may be interested in a new Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign which currently has 19 days left to run and is raising money to take the ...

In this fun project an ultrasonic distance sensor is used to detect a “target” (i.e., a person, a cat, a burglar, etc.). The Arduino illuminates (blasts) the target using an inexpensive laser diode ...

Panasonic has produced a range of micron-accurate industrial distance measuring sensors. Unlike its earlier similar sensors, digital output devices in the new HL-G2 series include interfaces for both ...

If you’ve made a robot or played around with electronics before, you might have used a time-of-flight laser distance sensor before. More modern ones detect not just the first reflection, but analyze ...

[Andrew] got a little help from his friends to hack a laser distance meter. Using laser distance meters as sensors is one of the great quests of hackers – with good reason. Accurate distance readings ...

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has extended its non-contact laser distance sensor portfolio with a low cost unit that is even more robust and compact than its predecessor measuring distances ...

If you have ever wanted to create your very own laser tripwire grid like in the movies to protect your valuables possessions, buildings or outhouses. You might be interested in a new Arduino ...
