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 ...

When [tdw] wasn’t feeling well one day, his wife suggested that it might be due to poor air quality in their home. While an ordinary person could have simply opened a window after hearing such an idea ...

In all but the most pedestrian of cases, you really should consider some form of input protection between your sensors and your computational platform. In my “Beginner’s Guide to Sensor Interfacing ...

Interfacing sensors to measurement equipment, whether a microcontroller ADC input or a high-end data-acquisition system, can cause headaches, particularly when you must use an unusual or unfamiliar ...

Silicon Laboratories is aiming to simplify the task of connecting sensors to its microcontrollers. The interface, called the direct sensor interface technology (DSiT), can be evaluated using a digital ...

Sensors can measure all manner of physical properties. Whether it's pressure, temperature, humidity, pH, conductivity, or other unknown, there's a sensor out there to measure it. But once the ...

Capacitive sensor technology has evolved markedly over recent years, underpinned by advancements in integrated circuit design and novel measurement approaches. These sensors function by detecting ...

The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not ...

With falling sensor sizes and prices, manufacturers are increasingly giving devices the ability to search their surroundings for valuable data. Some are installing sensors into cars to measure ...

EnSilica has launched the ENS62020, an ultra-low-power healthcare sensor interface IC for monitoring vital signs in wearable healthcare and medical devices. The chip, which will be initially available ...
