In electronics, sensors are the devices or modules or detectors or subsystems used to detect and respond to electrical and optical signals. Sensors can covert physical quantities like temperature, humidity, speed, etc into an electrical signal and send the information to the other electronic devices like the processor. Sensors are classified into various types to measure temperature, capacitance, heat, resistance, etc. They are a temperature sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer, touch sensor, … [Read more...]
What is a Gyroscope Sensor : Working & Its Applications
MEMS or Microelectromechanical systems are basically microsystems that have a very small size. It is an extremely advanced form of technology that has given rise to different electronic components like accelerometer and gyroscope sensor. An accelerometer is a device that can be used to detect non-gravitational motion. A gyroscope sensor, on the other hand, can be used to detect gravitational motion. Thus, we can see that a gyroscope sensor and an accelerometer complement each other. Both of … [Read more...]
What is Touch Sensor : Working & Its Applications
Even if a human body touches something, instantly the surface information will be passed to the brain using senses. Touch can also be felt by animals and plants. Hence the same technique can also be implied in today's electronics. Electronic devices consist of various sensors like temperature, pressure, humidity, etc. Similarly, a sensor related touch device is also designed. Nowadays, we are coming across the user interfaces that are operated on a single touch. There is a wide range of … [Read more...]
Piezoelectric Sensor and Its Operation
In this digitized world, most of mankind's life turns around sensors and sensors hold a prominent role in our lives. Making every activity as automatic, one can find multiple kinds of sensors in their workstation, home, car and in many other places. So, let’s start with the definition of what sensor means to and how it created a great impact on the lives of mankind ? Sensors are the devices where those receive input signals and provides an output in correspondence with the physical change. The i … [Read more...]
