Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a fundamentally new type of optical spectrometer that delivers ...

No need to reinvent the wheel.

TTVKTR open-source firmware converts old IR remote controls into presentation clickers through Raspberry Pi RP2040 USB boards ...

A new MIT-designed lidar chip uses specially engineered antennas to reduce interference and widen the sensor’s field of view.

Like with a new Raspberry Pi or Arduino, you'll soon be doing things that amaze you.  A question I've seen a lot is whether someone should get a Cardputer Adv, a Raspberry Pi, or a Flipper Zero. Let's ...

Recent Arduino projects showcase increasingly sophisticated multi-sensor integration, from multiplexers solving I²C address conflicts to interactive hubs with multiple modes. Developers are pairing ...

A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not ...

The photograph shows a one-inch, single-crystal lead sulfide (PbS) film wafer (left). The right panel demonstrates a clear infrared image of a university emblem and Chinese characters, captured at ...

In recent years, IR blasters have become a standard part of smart TV systems, but it's not always clear just what these devices are or do. For starters, the IR in the name stands for infrared, which ...

Thanks to modern LED bulbs, light is cheaper than ever to make—except for one particular kind. Three University of Chicago scientists have announced an innovative way to create infrared light, which ...

A minimal example that reads a digital IR (obstacle/proximity) sensor on pin D2 and lights the onboard LED (pin 13) when an object is detected. The project is configured to build with PlatformIO for ...
