There are lots of smart home systems that will let you blast your older dumb appliances with infrared to control them.

Working with multiple sensors on an Arduino can unlock richer, more interactive projects. By integrating motion, light, distance, and environmental readings, you can create systems that respond ...

The ESP8266 microcontroller is a favorite among makers for creating affordable, Wi-Fi-enabled sensor projects. Pairing it with a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor is one of the easiest ways to get ...

What should have been a routine release has revealed some of the features Anthropic has been working on for Claude Code. As reported by Ars Technica, The Verge and others, after the company released ...

The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980. They’ve since discontinued that line, but it lives on in the low-cost STC8 family of chips, which is ...

The global price of oil continues to skyrocket as Iran’s missiles and drones hit vital infrastructure in Arab Gulf states. Billion-dollar American radar systems have also been targeted and destroyed ...

The eyes of the city are on the Bosque. Not real eyes. Something better -- camera sensors that can detect thermal activity up to 100 feet away. Eighteen of these have been installed in wooded areas ...

From Feb. 2-6, 13 Soldiers from the 1st Armored Division, the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE), and the Fires Center of Excellence, participated in a Soldier Touch Point (STP 0) at Fort Belvoir to ...

Before we dive into how IR sensors work, let’s first get a quick understanding of what infrared radiation is. Infrared (IR) radiation is a type of invisible electromagnetic energy with waveforms ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

Lockheed Martin announced Nov. 17 that it had conducted the first flight test of a new distributed infrared threat warning system. The company shared images of its Rockwell Sabreliner testbed aircraft ...
