How to design an LDR light/dark sensor using Arduino

December 9, 2020 By Nihil Agnihotri

Light sensors are widely used in electronic applications. The most common one used is a photoresistor or light-dependent resistor. Despite a long response time, this sensor is inexpensive and useful in several applications. A photoresistor consists of a zigzag track of photo-sensitive semiconductors. It offers pure resistance although this is dependent on the ambient light. […]

What sensors allow robots to work collaboratively and safely with humans?

December 2, 2020 By RFrank

If advanced factories strictly concentrate on the machinery without taking human beings into account, will the robots have to consume the products they build? When Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line to mass produce an entire automobile (Dec. 1, 1913), he more than doubled the wages of assembly line workers to stabilize his […]

4 to 20 mA current loops made easy

December 2, 2020 By Aimee Kalnoskas

A 4-20 mA current loop is a very common method to convey the sensor data acquired for analog sensor data transmission. Sensors or transducers are usually designed to measure a range of values of the measured parameter, known as the measurand. The measureand value must be converted to current within the measuring device so that […]
