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 ...

Direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface techniques enable the conversion of physical measurands into digital signals without dedicated analogue-to-digital converter chips or elaborate conditioning ...

With just a few components, you can provide a translated signal from industrial and PLD sensors that connects safely to a microcontroller, with the added bonus of supplying 7.5 mA of regulated power.

PIC, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi: If you can work with these three types of systems, then you can connect with just about anything Microcontrollers (MCUs) can be very handy, but without the ability to ...

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 ...

Temperature-indicator and temperature-based products have generated wide interest. There are numerous applications for such devices with many possible solutions, each with its own advantages and ...

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and the world's top manufacturer of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), today ...

[CNLohr] has been tinkering with some fun parts of late. He’d found out that ordinary LCD screens could be used as simple touch sensors, and he had to try it for himself. He ended up building a little ...
