Figure 1 shows how you can connectthe sensor to the microcontroller. Youprogram the microcontroller to generatethe control signals for the sensor. Thedesign uses a 16-MHz clock frequency.The ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

In Part 1, we covered the basics ofsensors and the characteristics youmust keep in mind when using them in designs. However, there isan enormous range of specialist sensors developed for ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

Nature provides the model for integrating sensors for a distributed edge AI system, say Bartosz Boryna and Zuzana Jirankova. The horseshoe crab (limulus polyphemus) is recognised by scientists as an ...

Microchip is aiming at analogue sensors with a microcontroller that can measure signals while consuming less than 3µA while sleeping with one comparator monitoring an in-coming voltage. Called ...

[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 ...
