Last year, I took a look at some mostly low-cost passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules. Then recently, I became more aware of cheap microwave radar motion sensor modules. The popular version of ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy currents, which directly affect the inductance of the sensor coil. This ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master sensor and motor theory and program these devices in a microprocessor system. You will complete courses in sensors and sensor circuit design; ...

Smart lights are a great way to enhance home security. Being able to flip on the lights remotely or automatically, you can give the impression that someone is home and expose potential intruders. It’s ...
