A current sensor module is an electronic device that detects and measures the flowing electric current throughout a conductor and changes it into a current, voltage, or digital signal. So the applications of these modules involve digital watt meters, switching mode power supplies, battery chargers, over-current protection circuits, programmable current sources, etc. Thus, the examples of current sensor modules are; ACS712, INA219¸ ACS758, WCS1800, LCB-050B, etc. This article elaborates on an … [Read more...]

An accelerometer & gyroscope sensor is a module that measures acceleration and also angular velocity. An accelerometer measures linear acceleration along with a single or more axes. So it works by detecting the caused force by a change within motion or vibration. This force can cause the mass to press a piezoelectric material that generates an electrical charge. The Gyroscope sensor measures angular velocity. This sensor can be used in gaming controllers, robotics & other devices that … [Read more...]

Sensors are significant devices that sense changes within the surroundings and change them into a signal that can be processed through a machine. So, these can detect many types of physical phenomena like heat, light, motion, sound, pressure, etc. Sensors are available everywhere around us. Likewise, a line sensor is a versatile component used for precise line tracking. This device is designed to notice and understand data from boundaries or lines within its environment. So these lines can be … [Read more...]

The history of a metal touch sensor mostly matches the resistive touchscreen technology development by Dr. Samuel Hurst while researching at the University of Kentucky. So it was credited with discovering the primary touch sensor in 1971, which he named the "Elograph" which is a key component in the early resistive touch screen technology. After that, this invention led to the creation of the Eurographics Corporation, which established the expansion of transparent touch panels. Metal touch … [Read more...]

Maintaining the temperature in Infrastructures is important because it affects the fundamental equipment, particularly servers. If the temperature is not maintained correctly, computers get heated. So unexpected changes in humidity & temperature can meet overheating which may result in larger damages & financial failures. This demonstrates how significant correct cooling is in avoiding sudden downtime. To overcome this issue, temperature and humidity sensors are invented to measure both … [Read more...]

Collision or collision detection sensors play a significant role in different industries for improving security & operational efficiency. These types of sensors have an important function to notice near obstacles and objects to trigger a response to avoid accidents or collisions. In addition, they possess high sensitivity, allowing effective detection of even little or less contrast objects. So these are identified due to their rapid response times, rendering them appropriate for fast-paced … [Read more...]

The waterproof digital temperature sensor is a one-meter-long sealed & pre-wired probe. This sensor is handy whenever you have to measure something distant, or in damp conditions. These are digital sensors, so you don’t receive any signal degradation even above long distances. This sensor is fairly precise and provides up to 12 bits of precision from the onboard DAC. So they work great with any microcontroller through a single digital pin. Thus, this sensor uses the Dallas 1-Wire protocol o … [Read more...]
