Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

Leddar, short for LED Detection and Ranging, is a new type of detection and ranging sensor that uses LEDs to detect objects and determine their distance. While the Leddar is low resolution, it is also ...

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 ...

Discover a sensor the size of an IC that works by measuring the time it takes light emitted to bounce off of a target and return. About a year ago, a coworker told me about a new kind of distance ...

Over the last decade or so, we’ve been inundated with appliances with wireless or “smart” technology that is often of dubious utility. No one really needs a tablet in their refrigerator or Wi-Fi on ...

A popular series of inexpensivedistance sensors integrates aninfrared emitting diode, a linearcharge-coupled-device array, and asignal-processing circuit in one unit.The output is a dc voltage, V S, ...

The first noticeable thing about the Cat S61 rugged smartphone is its heft. It feels thick and substantial, without the benefit of the ubiquitous Otterbox or Lifeproof cases that protect many consumer ...
