As the name suggests LDRs or Light Dependent Resistors are resistors that exhibit a wide range of resistance values depending on the intensity of light incident on its surface. The […]
Sensors and Detectors
These are devices that are designed to monitor or scan a specified region or a parameter and produce a warning indication as soon as an unfavorable situation or condition is detected.
These types of monitoring gadgets use specialized sensors to track a given set of parameters which continuously record the proceedings and quickly intimates the attached processor to trigger a warning alert to the user regarding the incident.
You will find various forms of sensors involved in many crucial electronic devices, the most common of these are PIR sensors, infrared sensors, microprocessors based data loggers, while other applications may involve weather monitoring sensors such as barometric sensors, pre-programmed DTHXX sensors etc.
The following posts provide a detailed explanation regarding many such electronic monitoring devices which can be easily built by any interested enthusiast to execute the checking of various complex sets of variables and to gather the important relevant information from the data.
