In Part 1, we covered the basics ofsensors and the characteristics youmust keep in mind when using them in designs. However, there isan enormous range of specialist sensors developed for ...

Miniature smart sensor combines 3-axis digital accelerometer with embedded microcontroller, operating as sensor hub that runs sensor-fusion algorithms, together in ultra-compact package called iNEMO-A ...

In all but the most pedestrian of cases, you really should consider some form of input protection between your sensors and your computational platform. In my “Beginner’s Guide to Sensor Interfacing ...

Discover a sensor the size of an IC that works by measuring the time it takes light emitted to bounce off of a target and return. About a year ago, a coworker told me about a new kind of distance ...

The main principle of this circuit is to display the digital temperature value. Here, ATmega8 microcontroller is used. The ATmega8 has inbuilt analog to digital converter with six multiplexed channels ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

These steps are thenrepeated until the reading is correct at the mid and max values. Thisis usually necessary because the gain and offset interact, that is,adjusting ...
