In this tutorial, I will show how you can handle the optical sensor inside a cheap optical-mouse for your next microcontroller project. Hope, this will allow your preferred microcontroller to look at ...

There is a point where taking technology for granted hides some of the incredible capabilities of seemingly simple devices. Optical mice are a great example of this principle, using what are more or ...

OMC has launched a fibre optic transceiver shield for Arduino Uno, designed to work with PMMA (polymer) optical cables up to 25m long, plus demonstration software ...

With the SensorShield-EVK-003, ROHM is offering a new sensor shield equipped with eight sensor boards designed for use with existing open platform MCU boards such as Arduino and mbed. The SensorShield ...

Capacitive sensing isn't limited to your smartphone. In fact, you can use contact with human skin (or any other conductive surface) to trigger almost any circuit. And the Touch Board from Bare ...

A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...
