In this post we are going to understand this sensor called INA219, and this one is like a full smart sensor. It not only tells how much current is flowing but also tells voltage, and also calculates power, all in digital form. That means it talks with microcontroller through I2C lines. It is like an […]

ACS712 Current Sensor Circuit Diagrams and Datasheet
Here we are going to learn one cool and very important current sensor device which we call ACS712. This small chip that look just like a normal 8-pin IC, is actually able to sense current from any load and give us a proportional analog voltage output which we can easily feed to Arduino or any […]
Reed Switch Sensor Module Explained with Circuit Diagram
Here we will try to understand this reed switch sensor module which may look small and nothing much, but it is actually very useful thing when we want to detect a magnetic field or just want to know if a magnet is coming closer or going away. This thing is called a reed switch sensor […]
Impact Collision Switch Sensor Module and Circuit Diagram
Here we are going to learn about a very interesting small sensor called the Impact Collision Switch Sensor Module. This module is super simple but very useful especially when we want to detect a shock, collision, hit or a sudden tap on a surface. Now let us go step-by-step to understand everything about it. What […]
How to Connect and Use RCWL-0516 Microwave Motion Sensor
In this article I will comprehensively explain about the RCWL-0516 a microwave proximity motion sensor which uses Doppler radar. Here, I will elucidate the following points: What is RCWL-0516 It is yet another type of proximity motion sensor which can detect if someone has entered into an area, and raise an alarm or take an […]
How to Use TTP223 Capacitive Touch Switch Module [Pinouts Explained]
In this article I have explained how to connect and use the TTP223 capacitive touch switch module. These modules work using 2.5V to 5V. They are all pre-debounced, all you need is to provide the DC supply across the VC and GND terminals, and you get an output in the middle. So it is really […]
