IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

Many devices use infrared (IR) as a signalling medium like, for example, RGB LED strip controllers modules and some TV controllers. Often times these signals aren’t meant for secure applications which ...

How can I determine the strength of an IR signal?<BR><BR>I've heard I can use my point-and-shoot camera but I'm not sure if I have to use any special settings on the camera.<BR><BR>I want to compare ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

The infrared signals used by remote controls are being captured by the IR Widget which operates in a way that makes it compatible with modern multitasking operating systems. The hardware was designed ...

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 ...

I think very few consumers are demanding better remotes. Another factor is the congestion already present in the ISM frequency band. There is little chance that you will run into an interferer for ...

The ability to have access to the Internet or use a mobile phone anywhere in the world is taken more and more for granted, but the brightness of Internet and telecommunications satellites that enable ...
