Here is the diagram of my Arduino infrared close proximity sensor. As you can see, the core part of my experimental setup is an Arduino UNO, but other compatible microcontrollers can also be employed.

By sticking this sensor on a breadboard with an Arduino Mini and WiFly network adapter, [Rob] is able to pull the data down from the IR sensor to his iPhone and overlay it on the feed from the camera.

For the uninitiated, breadboards let you interface your microcontrollers with motors, sensors ... of your Arduino project with the breadboard. While certain boards, like the Uno series, need ...

Shaped like a game controller, it's designed to be used out of the box without extra parts since it comes with many sensors and actuators already on it. It combines an Arduino-compatible processor ...
