An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

The IEEE has defined IEEE 1451, a family of Smart Transducer Interface standards that permit systems to automatically identify sensors and obtain their calibration and operating parameters. In March ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Process instruments consist of two main components: a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is sometimes part of the instrument assembly, as with some pressure instruments, but is more often separate, ...

The main principle of this circuit is to display the digital temperature value. Here, ATmega8 microcontroller is used. The ATmega8 has inbuilt analog to digital converter with six multiplexed channels ...

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 ...

UC San Diego has developed a system that uses analog sensors with a direct interface to RFID tags, making them passive sensor devices. The solution includes analog to digital conversion without ...
