  1. hi, I have a retroreflective NPN sensor and have the same diagram like yours proximity sensor , but after many attempts it doesn't work at all

  2. Hi, can you tell me what kind of part that you use or maybe you can send me the link to buy that part. Cause I need that so much, I need to connect my capacitive sensor to the arduino. Btw thank you for making the videos, it helps me a lot.

  3. That's really cool! What do we do if we want the sensor to beep before the object gets too close, do we just get a stronger sensor or can this be controlled with Arduino code?
