Carlo Gavazzi's new ultrasonic sensors offer flexibility, rugged durability, and increased accuracy, along with a compact design, to take on harsh environments. The UA12, UA18, and UA30 (see figure) ...

Designed to withstand the unique challenges and wide range of conditions in both wind energy and maritime applications, the newly released Vaisala Ultrasonic Wind Sensor WM80 brings accurate wind ...

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 recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...
