4 Simple Proximity Sensor Circuits – Using IC LM358, IC LM567, IC 555
Video Demonstration An IR proximity sensor is a device which detects the presence of an object or a human when it is within a predetermined range from the sensor, through reflected infrared beams. Three useful proximity sensor concepts are explained here, the first concept is based on an ordinary opamp LM358, the second one using […]
Introduction to RGB Colour sensor TCS3200
TCS3200 is a color light-to-frequency converter chip which can be programmed through a microcontroller. The module can be used for detecting all the 7 colors of white light with the aid of an integrated microcontroller such as Arduino. In this post we are going to take a look at RGB color sensor TCS3200, we will […]
Car Reverse Parking Sensor Circuit with Alarm
In this post I will show how to construct a car reverse parking sensor alarm circuit using arduino, ultrasonic sensor and 2.4 GHz transceiver module. This project can be add-on feature for your car if it doesn’t sport a build-in parking sensors. Introduction The proposed project has similar functionality as traditional car parking sensor has, […]
Car Tank Water Sensor Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple car tank water sensor alarm circuit using IC 555 and a pulsating signal on the sensing probes to pevent corrosion on the probes. The idea was requested by Mr. Peter. Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design Referring to the figure below, the proposed car tank water sensor […]
How to Connect an IR Photodiode Sensor in a Circuit
In this post I have explained how to correctly connect an IR photodiode in circuits such as a proximity sensor circuit. The explanation is presented in the form a discussion between one of the dedicated readers of this blog NVD, and me. Here’s the discussion which explains how to connect a photodiode in an electronic […]
