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 ...

Ultra simple circuit of the tilt sensor alarm presented here can be fabricated using readily available inexpensive components. The circuit is a true transistor based design. Home made Tilt sensor for ...

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 ...

The P0463 code indicates that your car’s engine control module (ECM) is receiving a voltage signal from the fuel level sensor that is higher than expected, which suggests that the system believes the ...

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 ...

Toshiba releases a lens-reduction type CCD linear image sensor for high-speed data readouts by image inspection equipment.

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...
