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 ...

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 ...

When [tdw] wasn’t feeling well one day, his wife suggested that it might be due to poor air quality in their home. While an ordinary person could have simply opened a window after hearing such an idea ...

Interfacing sensors to measurement equipment, whether a microcontroller ADC input or a high-end data-acquisition system, can cause headaches, particularly when you must use an unusual or unfamiliar ...

Connecting an anlog sensor to a digital acquisition, data logging, or control system always requred a plethora of interface devices. Now, a single chip can perform all that's needed to connect the ...

Systems designers and integrators are familiar with the typical sensor platform architecture that includes an amplifier/signal conditioner with an active analog filter (requiring an external, stable ...

Capacitive sensor technology has evolved markedly over recent years, underpinned by advancements in integrated circuit design and novel measurement approaches. These sensors function by detecting ...

In the fields of intelligent health care and robotic sensing, the development of ultra-thin flexible temperature sensors ...

The vast majority of electronic devices today use the sensors to detect some physical phenomenon in the world that surrounds us (like temperature, pressure, light intensity, etc). The sensors ...

The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not ...
