ST Microelectronics' VL6180X proximity sensor measures distance based on the time light takes to reach the nearest object and reflect back, so the size and color of the object won't affect the ...

The proximity sensor utilizes miniature hall effect technology in an IC package mounted directly on the actuator. The hall effect is an ideal technology with a virtually unlimited on-off cycle life ...

GM crossovers and SUVs are gradually switching over to use of the AutoSense proximity sensor technology to operate the rear liftgate, replacing motion sensors.

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The … ...
