July 13, 2021 By WatElectronics

Temperature Sensor Working

In our day-to-day life, we all utilize different types of sensors. From that, the temperature sensor is one kind of sensor that is used most frequently in different forms like microwaves, water heaters, refrigerators, thermometers, etc. Generally, these types of sensors are used in a wide range of applications to measure the amount of coolness or hotness of the device and change it into a readable unit. Do you know how the temperature of the buildings, dams, boreholes, soil are measured:? … [Read more...]

What is a Proximity Sensor : Types & Its Applications

July 11, 2021 By WatElectronics

Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensor comprises all sensors that execute non-contact detection as compared to limit switches that notice objects through contacting physically them. These types of sensors change the data into an electrical signal on the movement or occurrence of a target. These sensors are used in mobile phones. Once the target is in a small range, then the lock screen of the mobile user interface will come into view which is called sleep mode. These sensors can be utilized to identify air gestures … [Read more...]

Light Sensor Circuit Diagram with Working Operation

January 7, 2021 By admin

The controlling of street lights, make a light sensor circuit outdoor lights, a few indoor home appliances, and so on are usually maintained and operated manually on several occasions. This is not only risky but also results in wastage of power with the negligence of personnel or unusual circumstances in controlling these electrical appliances on and off. Hence, (based on the requirement) we can utilize the light sensor circuit for automatic switching of the loads based on daylight's intensity … [Read more...]

Different Types of Motion Sensors & Their Working

January 5, 2021 By admin

Different types of motion sensors are commonly used in security systems. They work based on a wide variety of principles and are used in a wide variety of applications. Typical usage could be in the exterior doorways or windows of a building for monitoring the area around the building. Upon detecting motion, they generate an electrical signal based on which some actions are taken. Some operate in much the same way as a military radar scanner, while others work based on vibration, infrared … [Read more...]

What is Color Sensor : Working & Its Applications

July 6, 2020 By WatElectronics

Color Sensor

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

May 16, 2020 By WatElectronics

Gyroscope Sensor

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

May 11, 2020 By WatElectronics

Touch Sensor

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 user interfaces that are operated on a single touch.  There is a wide range of … [Read more...]
