This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

Need a Hall sensor? A strip of copper, a strong magnet, and an LM358 are all you need to explore the Hall effect hands-on.

Just how tight are the manufacturing tolerances of modern FDM printer filament. Inquiring minds want to know, and when such minds are attached to handy fellows like [Thomas Sanladerer], you end up ...

Ambient light is increasingly being used as a source of energy. To help designers of such systems, this circuit accurately measures ambient light intensity over four decades of measurement. The design ...

This circuit uses a thin piezoelectric sensor to sense the vibrations generated by knocking on a surface; eg, a door or table. Basically, it amplifies and processes the signal from the sensor and ...

Cambridge Integrated Circuits has introduced a non-contact rotary position sensing IC that can operate at 66,000rpm producing 1,000 quadrature cycles per revolution, or can work at resolutions up to ...

Controlling sensori-motor systems in higher animals or complex robots is a challenging combinatorial problem, because many sensory signals need to be simultaneously coordinated into a broad ...

Capacitive touch sensors are based on the electrical capacitance of the human body. When, for example, a finger comes close to the sensor, it creates a capacitance to Earth with a value of 30 to 100 ...

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) and the Georgia Institute of Technology have been awarded a grant to develop a sensor that can be used to immediately ...
