This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

Silicon Laboratories is aiming to simplify the task of connecting sensors to its microcontrollers. The interface, called the direct sensor interface technology (DSiT), can be evaluated using a digital ...

The circuit in this Design Ideacombines a mixed-signal microcontroller,a USB UART (universalasynchronous receiver/transmitter), anda novel adaptable analog sensor-inputcircuit. It allows you to ...

When [tdw] wasn’t feeling well one day, his wife suggested that it might be due to poor air quality in their home. While an ordinary person could have simply opened a window after hearing such an idea ...

Most modern smartwatches have color displays, wireless capabilities, the ability to alert you to notifications, and support for running first-party and third-party apps. Sensor Watch doesn’t do any of ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
