Simple Vibration Sensor Circuit
As its name suggests, this simple vibration sensor circuit using piezo transducer allows for the detection of vibrations to which its sensor is subjected. Unlike superficial pressure sensors whose resistance varies depending on the force they are subjected to, the transducer used here is only sensitive to variations in pressure exerted on its sensitive face. […]
Shock Vibration Detector Circuit using 801S Sensor
The shock alarm module that we are presenting to you can be used in a house as well as in a car. Given its low manufacturing cost, it can be replicated in several copies and connected to different positions at home. It can be also installed in a vehicle where it will trigger a siren […]
Proximity Detector using Hall Effect Sensor Circuit
This proximity detector circuit uses a Hall effect sensor to detect the approach of a magnetic object, such as a magnet fixed to the frame of a door. The application is simple, but widely used. The use of a Hall effect sensor solves many problems that arise when one wants to detect the opening of […]
HX710B Air Pressure Sensor Datasheet, How to Connect
The HX710B Air Pressure Sensor Module monitors the air’s pressure in the range of 0 to 40 kilopascals (kPa) and turns it into an electrical impulse which microcontrollers or other electrical gadgets can interpret and read. It is a common and frequently utilized sensor in a wide range of applications that demand precise pressure sensing, […]
Alcohol Detector Meter Circuit using MQ-3 Sensor Module
An alcohol detector is a sensitive device which is able to detect the presence of alcohol molecules or any similar volatile inflammable element in the air and convert it into equivalent level of electrical output. The simple alcohol detector circuit discussed here will accurately sense the emanation of alcohol gas from a selected source, such […]
