In this video, I'm testing out the VL53L0x Time Of Flight sensor that optically measures distance with some IR laser to see if it will be a good option to use in future versions of my pellet level ...

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 ...

[Mike] lives in a temperate rainforest in Alaska (we figured from his website’s name) and uses a 570 gallon oil tank to supply his furnace. Until now, he had no way of knowing how much oil was left in ...

An evaluation kit from TDK showcases its USSM1.0 PLUS-FS ultrasonic sensor module for designs requiring obstacle detection and distance measurement. The sensor operates in harsh industrial ...

Ultrasonics or ultrasound is a radar-like system that uses ultrasonic signals at frequencies above those typical for human hearing, usually above 16 to 20 kHz. The 40- to 70-kHz range tends to be most ...

Sometimes, it’s time to shut down the oscilloscope, and break out the cardboard and paints. If you’re wondering what for, well, here’s a reminder of an Instructable from [CrazyScience], that brings us ...

Ultrasonic parking assistance was already in use before the widespread adoption of ADAS functions. Ultrasonic sensors operate by emitting ultrasonic waves, which are reflected off obstacles and ...

One of the biggest mistakes Tesla made last year was removing ultrasonic sensors from the cars without offering an alternative. With the 2022.45.11 software update, cars without ultrasonic sensors ...
