Depth and angle sensor attachment for a power tool

A sensor attachment for a power tool, the power tool including a motor, the sensor attachment comprising:

• a non-contact sensor;
• a communications interface for wirelessly communicating with a remote device;
• and
• a sensor controller configured to
• receive, by the communications interface, an input signal from the remote device, and
• generate a control signal based on the input signal from the remote device for controlling operation of the power tool motor.

A method of operating a sensor attachment physically coupled to a power tool, the sensor attachment including a sensor controller, a communications interface, and a non-contact sensor, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the communications interface, an input signal from the remote device;
• determining, using the sensor controller, a desired fastener depth based on the input signal from the remote device;
• determining, using the sensor controller, a depth of a fastener based on a signal received from the non-contact sensor;
• and
• generating, using the sensor controller, a control signal if the depth of the fastener is greater than or equal to the desired fastener depth.
