-=== Infrared Sensor ===+== Infrared Sensor ==
 An infrared (IR) proximity sensor detects objects and measures distance without physical contact. IR sensor consists of an infrared emitter, a receiving sensor or array of sensors and a signal processing logic. The output of a sensor differs depending on the type – simple proximity detection sensor outputs //HIGH// or //LOW// level when an object is in its sensing range, but sensors which can measure distance output an analogue signal or use some communication protocol, like I2C to send sensor measuring results. An infrared (IR) proximity sensor detects objects and measures distance without physical contact.

 IR sensors are used in robotics to detect obstacles located a few millimetres to several meters from the sensor and in mobile phones to help detect accidental screen touching.\\Sample IR sensor device is present in figure {{ref>proxim1}} and its connection to the microcontroller in figure {{ref>proxim2}}. IR sensors are used in robotics to detect obstacles located a few millimetres to several meters from the sensor and in mobile phones to help detect accidental screen touching.\\Sample IR sensor device is present in figure {{ref>proxim1}} and its connection to the microcontroller in figure {{ref>proxim2}}.

-=== Ultrasonic Sensor ===+== Ultrasonic Sensor ==
 The ultrasonic sensor measures the distance to objects by emitting a short ultrasound sound pulse and measuring its returning time. The sensor consists of an ultrasonic emitter and receiver; sometimes, they are combined into a single device for emitting and receiving. Ultrasonic sensors can measure greater distances and cost less than infrared sensors but are more imprecise and interfere with each other's measurements if more than one is used. Simple sensors have a trigger pin and an echo pin; when the trigger pin is set high for a small amount of time, ultrasound is emitted, and on the echo pin, response time is measured. Ultrasonic sensors are used in car parking sensors and robots for proximity detection. A sample ultrasonic sensor is present in figure {{ref>ultrasonic1}} and a circuit in figure {{ref>ultrasonic2}}.\\ The ultrasonic sensor measures the distance to objects by emitting a short ultrasound sound pulse and measuring its returning time.

-=== Motion Detector ===+== Motion Detector ==
 The motion detector is a sensor that detects moving objects, primarily people. Motion detectors use different technologies, like passive infrared sensors, microwaves and the Doppler effect, video cameras, and ultrasonic and IR sensors. Passive IR (PIR) sensors are the simplest motion detectors that sense people by detecting changes in IR radiation emitted through the skin. When the motion is detected, the output of a motion sensor is a digital //HIGH/////LOW// signal.\\ The motion detector is a sensor that detects moving objects, primarily people.

 A level sensor detects the level of fluid or fluidised solid. Level sensors can be divided into two groups: A level sensor detects the level of fluid or fluidised solid. Level sensors can be divided into two groups:
   * **continuous level sensors** that can detect the exact position of the fluid. Proximity sensors, like ultrasonic or infrared, are usually used for level detection. Capacitive sensors can also be used by recording the changing capacitance value depending on the fluid level. The output can be either analogue or digital value;    * **continuous level sensors** that can detect the exact position of the fluid.
