The new hotness for DIY electronics is mechanical keyboards, and over the past few years we’ve seen some amazing innovations. This one is something different. It adds an analog sensor to nearly any ...

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 ...

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 ubiquity of smart devices—not just phones and watches, but lights, refrigerators, doorbells and more, all constantly ...

[SeanHodgins] has a project in mind where he needs to sample over 500 analog sensors. To get ready, he made a breakout board for 32-channel analog multiplexer device he wants to use. He put the ...

Though the digital world likes all things digital, it needs to turn to the analog side to find out about the real world. Sensors provide this input, but most are invariably analog in nature and they ...

Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the availability of its new microcontroller solution that brings analog solution and low power operation to home and industrial sensing systems. The solution ...

Ground loops can degrade circuit performance and ruin your day. Follow these tips to prevent them from occurring in circuits ...

At Level 0 of the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (PERA)—the domain of sensors, actuators and the physical process ...

We have all heard of the automotive chip shortage; it’s the reason some used cars are still worth double what they were a couple of years ago. Generally, when the chip shortage is discussed, even in ...

The new E8Y-L micropressure sensors with digital display from Omron Electronics are now being shipped by Mouser Electronics.
