December 13, 2012. KEYENCE has announced that its new IL Series compact triangulation-based laser sensor offers a measurement range that reaches 11.48 ft (3.5 m) with 3.94 mil (100 µm) repeatability, ...
In vast areas of the globe the use of sensor-equipped microcontroller-driven systems has become pervasive in most industries and nearly every corner of daily life. Within these embedded systems, an ...
A new microcontroller (MCU) for industrial sensor designs claims to reduce overall system size and the component count by incorporating the analog front-end (AFE) and the MCU on a single chip. It adds ...
An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...
As more sensors and actuators are added into electronic devices, pressure is growing to more seamlessly move data seamlessly back and forth between analog and digital circuitry. Analog and digital ...
A basic building block is often the key to completing an analog signal path in various applications, such as automated test ...
The IL Series triangulation-based laser displacement sensor reaches 11.48 ft (3.5 m) with 3.94 mil (100 µm) repeatability, regardless of target color. An easy-to-use interface offers a simple approach ...
A spacecraft can estimate the attitude state by comparing external measurements from attitude sensors with reference information. CubeSats tend to use 4-quadrant analog solar sensors which have the ...
The new hotness for DIY electronics is mechanical keyboards, and over the past few years we’ve seen some amazing innovations. This one is something different. It adds an analog sensor to nearly any ...
