Abstract: We investigate methods for determining if a planar surface contains geometric deviations (e.g., protrusions, objects, divots, or cliffs) using only an instantaneous measurement from a ...

This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...

Even in the dark, your brain knows where you are. As you walk through your house at night, it quietly tracks your steps and turns, updating your position without relying much on vision. That ability ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Google Colab, also known as Colaboratory, is a free online tool from Google that lets you write and run Python code directly in your browser. It works like Jupyter Notebook but without the hassle of ...

We've decided to retire and archive this project - there's just no safe way to run Python within pyodide safely with reasonable latency. Instead, we're working hard on Monty which should solve the ...

RPS-429AA-40P-IS2 intrinsically safe (IS), ultrasonic sensor achieves precise accuracy in distance measurement and object detection applications. With ATEX, IECEx and C-UL-US certifications, this ...

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a powerful, free source-code editor that makes it easy to write and run Python code. This guide will walk you through setting up VSCode for Python development, step by ...

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...

If you need to measure a distance, it is tempting to reach for the ubiquitous ultrasonic module like an HC-SR04. These work well, and they are reasonably easy to use. However, they aren’t without ...
