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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this project, we create a joystick-controlled laser by connecting two servos to a joystick and using this setup as a pan-and-tilt controller for a laser pointer. The following is excerpted from the ...
