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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a major leap forward for sensor-based products, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today unveiled the LPC54100 series of microcontrollers, a breakthrough in ultra-low power performance for ...

This project uses a simple LDR that is calibrated against a reference photometer in order to build a digital lux meter. This project uses a simple LDR that is calibrated against a reference photometer ...

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 ...
