Is your heaving pile of electronic parts shrinking by the day as you finish old back-burnered projects and come up with new ones? Try an old pastime that never gets old: rolling your own sensors using ...

When it comes to safely riding a bike around cars, the more lights, the better. Ideally, these lights would come on by themselves, so you don’t have to remember to turn them on and off every time.

Capacitive sensing provides a robust alternative to traditional mechanical switches. However, some applications cannot accommodate the physical implementation of a printed circuit board directly under ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

Across the web, there are countless designs for shock/vibration sensors for automobile antitheft alarms, door/window break detector alarms, and almost any other security alarm you can think of. Many ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. One of the cool things about modern technological development is that new devices give us greater control and connectivity than we previously ...

Using factory automation to improve overall efficiency is a primary focus in today’s manufacturing industry. Organizations are shifting in this direction not only because it increases their bottom ...
