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 ...

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 ...

For many IoT applications, such as those installed outdoors, wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) can be powered using solar technology. In the presence of light, the system is powered by the solar source, ...

Silicon Laboratories is aiming to simplify the task of connecting sensors to its microcontrollers. The interface, called the direct sensor interface technology (DSiT), can be evaluated using a digital ...

GENEVA--(Marketwire - Jan 22, 2013) - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and the world's top manufacturer ...

Adding “intelligence” to measurement systems has become commonplace because 8-bit microcontrollers are inexpensive and widely available, and they can be programmed in many of today’s popular ...

[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 ...
