Proximity Distance measurement using IR LED and TR

One method used is IR tape measurement substitute devices is to modulate the IR emitter with a sine wave superimposed on a DC level. The receiver picks off the sine wave and compares the phase with the transmitted phase. A calibration point is used to compensate for the time delay through the electronics. I suppose

Problem with sensitivity in a laser distance measurement system

Are you talking about a laser or an IR diode? IR diode: pump it with short >1A pulses while keeping an 1 to 10% duty cycle. Laser diode: use TOF (time of flight) measurement method. There are many distance sensors schemes on the net.

Ultrasound module for distance measurement

Can you suggest me an Ultrasound distance measurement module which can be connected to a PIC microcontroller? distance should be measured between 2 nodes. It would be good if the range is about 10-20m. Better if the range is larger.

Distance measurement sensors from 0 meters

ACCORDING TO DATA SHEET OF THE ULTRASONIC SENSOR Readings can occur up to every 50mS, (20-Hz rate) There's a fundamental limitation caused by the sound velocity.

Help regarding ultrasonic sensors for distance measurement

I want to use ultrasonic sensor for distance measurement but I don't know how it actually works. can we connect US sensor directly to 8051 or we have to build some oscillator circuitry. I want that the transmitter goes ON as soon as one of the pin of 8051 is made high. Is it possible?

Yes speed of sound is one parameter (≈ 340m/s @ 20°c) To find the distance (for up and down) you can use s=ut where s=distance in meters, u=speed of sound in m/s and t = time in seconds So distance to the object = s/2 You may check this example if you have timer value = 250 and XTALL = 11.0592MHz then
