[Trax] was asked by a friend to build a device that could detect the presence of a car in front of his garage gate for it to open automatically. After searching the web for such a project and trying ...

In a bout of frustration I recently realized that the roads have all updated — most people have no idea how — and this sometimes hurts the flow of traffic. This realization happened when an ...

The Melexis MLX90514 inductive sensor delivers high-precision position sensing, while reducing system complexity.

Many red lights fail to detect smaller vehicles like bikes and scooters due to sensor limitations. Inductive loops, common in traffic signals, rely on sufficient metal mass to register a vehicle.

If you are stuck at a stubborn traffic light, try these tips to help the sensor detect your vehicle. Then, you can continue ...

Download this article in PDF format. We’ve been waiting for a long time and now it’s being implemented widely—namely, artificial intelligence (AI). From automatic factories, self-driving cars and ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...
