These are used in multiple industries, domestic areas, offices, and other places where a chance of leakage of combustible gas occurs. This series might not be fancy, but it is designed for a long life and ensures minimal false detection for reliable output.
We are going to start the discussion with a basic introduction to this series, and then we’ll try to clear up some basic concepts in order to have the best unde ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna have a look at detailed Introduction to MLX90614. MLX90614 is a temperature measurement device works on infrared radiations. It is the best choice for such applications where we can not easily reach to measure temperature because it provides non-contact measurement of temperature. It has Infra Red radiation receptive thermopile and ASSP (Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing) on same TO-39 cascading.
This temperature measuring device is surfaced with the digital Pulse width Modulation and System Managing Bus. It is used in different industries to measure and control the temperature of moving components of machines and it also used to remove the fog on the window of vehicles. In today's post, we will have a ...
Hi readers! Welcome to another article where we are discussing the MQ family members. Today, our motto is to learn about the MQ-5 natural liquified petroleum gas (LPG) sensor. The gas sensing material used in this sensor is known as tin dioxide(SnO2). It detects the natural LPG in the surroundings as soon as the core material of this sensor comes in contact with the LPG. This will be explained in simple words in this article.
Today, we’ll start learning about the basic introduction of the MQ-5 natural LPG sensor. After that, we’ll move towards its datasheet element, where we are going to see the specifications and features of the sensor, along with the pinout configuration and internal structure. We’ll also see the working principle and applications of the MQ-5 natural LPG sensor, and a ...

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna have a look at detailed Introduction to ACS712. ACS712 is an AC or DC current sensor, which is used to measure AC or DC current. You should also have a look at Difference between AC & DC Power, that will help. The maximum value of AC and DC which can be measured is 30A, its output current signal can be read via analog I/O port of Arduino. It is also available in 5A and 20A version which provides precise and economical solutions for AC or DC current sensing in industrial and commercial systems.
ACS712 consists of a precise and low offset linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper conduction path located near the surface of the die. ACS712 is used in different industrial projects and commercial electr ...
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to provide a detailed discussion on Introduction to Laser Sensor. Laser sensor is basically an electronic device which we often use for the detection of accurate positions as well as small objects. Laser sensors transmit or radiate laser light. This laser light consists of light waves having same wave length. Due to this fact laser light travels in a parallel direction from the source emitting this light. Due to its travel in parallel direction it can be transmitted over long distances. This light is dangerous for the human beings.
We must avoid by looking directly into the light. It causes serious eye damaging effect and even can make anyone blind. As we ...
Hi readers! I hope you are doing well and exploring new things daily. Do you know about the crankshaft position sensor? Today we will discuss the crankshaft position sensor with a detailed overview of its working, functioning, structure, and types. The crankshaft position sensor is an important part of internal combustion engines in modern automobiles. It finds the crankshaft’s position and rotational speed (RPM) and transmits this information to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). For optimum performance and fuel efficiency in making a vehicle operate smoothly, the crankshaft position checks the ignition timing, fuel injection, and valve timing. In the case of a non-functional CKP sensor, the engine may behave in a manner that does not start at all, misfires or works inefficiently.
CKP senso ...
