We don’t know if this will come as a surprise to the regular Hackaday reader, but a whole bunch of Atmel microcontrollers have a very cool feature hidden away in their datasheets. Most of them – ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

Sensor plays very important role in robotics and plant automation. One of the important areas in Industrial applications is Interfacing their output to the firmware. It is very important to understand ...

GY-906 is an easy DIY Raspberry Pi project using inexpensive materials like PICO, GY-906 sensor, OLED display, push switch, ...

Nowadays, numerous electronic sensor modules are available on the market that can be combined with inexpensive microcontroller boards to measure environmental parameters of importance. The project ...

This project is to prototype a set of self-powered (such as piezoelectric, thermostat, solar, etc) embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. A tangible exam is a body-temperature powered motion ...

The Pharmaceutical Technologies group has recently acquired a fibre optic temperature sensor from INFAP GmbH (München, Germany). Until now, the calibration of the TVIS response (i.e. the peak ...

Scientists seeking to deploy an armada of 3,000 robotic probes to take the pulse of Earth’s oceans are halfway to their goal. As of Nov. 30, 2004 oceanographers had launched 1,516 of the sensor-laden ...
