The sensitivity of the proximity sensor circuit can be adjusted with P1 for the desired “distance”. One of its obvious uses is to open a door automatically. For this the sensor must be placed on the ...

Need a Hall sensor? A strip of copper, a strong magnet, and an LM358 are all you need to explore the Hall effect hands-on.

Microcontrollers come in all sorts and sizes, and it’s very tempting to use them everywhere. If you are in a plan to build your own Vending Machine, probably you need a microcontroller-compatible Drop ...

Here’s your useful and beautiful circuit for the day — [New Pew]’s vibration sensor takes manual control of the flip-flop inside a 555 timer and lights an LED in response. Use it to detect those ...

This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on ...

(TNS) — The state of Connecticut is testing new vehicle technology designed to eliminate impaired driving. The Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety vehicle measures carbon dioxide and ethanol ...

Randomly oriented nanowires, on the growth substrate at left, are having a “bad hair day.” But after contact printing, the nanowires on the receiver substrate are highly aligned. Scientists at the U.S ...
