Hi readers! I hope you are fine and spending each day learning more about technology. Today, the subject of discussion is the BNO055- Intelligent 9-Axis Absolute Orientation Sensor Module.
The BNO055 from Bosch Sensortec is a high-class motion sensor module combining a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer using an onboard ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller. This makes it usable for delivering ready-to-use orientation data in formats that include Euler angles, quaternions, and linear acceleration.
This module is designed with an embedded sensor fusion algorithm that offers accurate and drift-free orientation without extensive calibration or programming. It is compactly designed, low in power consumption, and easy to integrate into applications in robotics, wearable ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna have a look at a detailed Introduction to TCS3200. TCS3200 is a color-detecting sensor, it consists of TAOS TCS3200 RGB sensor chip and four white LEDs. It is used to detect visible color in a measurable range. This sensor has an array of a photodetector diode, some diodes are equipped with different color filters i.e. red, blue or green color and some diodes do not have any filter.
TCS3200 has different applications such as test strip reading, sorting by color and ambient light sensing. In today's post, we will have a look at its working, protocol, pinout, specification, etc. I will also share some links where I have interfaced it with other microcontrollers. If you have any questions about it ask in the c ...
Hey readers! I hope you are having a good day. Today, we are learning the basics of another MQ sensor family, the MQ-3. This sensor is designed for the detection of alcoholic gases in the air surrounding it. Gas sensors are widely used in multiple applications, and they provide information to the other components of the circuit. In the air, it can detect the 25-500ppm alcohol gas concentration and is a highly sensitive detector. We are going to study it thoroughly from scratch.
In this article, we are going to start the discussion with the basic introduction of this sensor. We’ll understand its datasheet and will know the basic details about its internal and external structure. After that, we’ll move towards the features, specifications, and best platform to buy these sensors. Then, we’l ...
Hello Friends, I hope you all are fine and will be doing well in your life. In today's tutorial, I am going to give you a detailed Introduction to DHT11.

Hi readers! Hopefully, you are well and exploring technology daily. Today, the topic of our discourse is the VL6180 Time-of-Flight (ToF) Proximity Sensor. You might already know about it or something new and different.
It is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) proximity sensor, VL6180 from STMicroelectronics. It was built specifically to accurately measure the distance of IR light. This device is actually working based on infrared emission towards an object, the reflection of that emission will travel back to the sensor for it to compute distance; and due to the time-of-flight principle applied to this kind of computation, accuracy to measurement could be well given.
One of the key features of the VL6180 is its compact form factor, which makes it ideal for integration into space-constrained applicat ...
Hi readers! Hopefully, you are well and exploring technology daily. Today, the topic of our discourse is the HDC3020 and HDC3020 - Q1 humidity sensors with high accuracy, low power, and drift correction. You might already know about it or something new and different.
The HDC3020 series is from Texas Instruments. It's a digital humidity and temperature sensor, known for high accuracy, reliability, and long-term stability. These sensors incorporate advanced drift correction mechanisms that maintain constant performance over long periods even in harsh or contaminant-rich environments, making it ideal for precision and dependable applications.
The series has two main variants: the general-purpose application HDC3020 and the automotive-grade HDC3020-Q1, which complies strictly with the AEC Q ...
Hi peeps! Welcome to another tutorial where we are discussing the MQ sensor elements. Today, our focus is on the MQ131 ozone gas sensor. Ozone is a major component of air pollution and it leads to multiple health problems related to the respiratory system and other issues. It also has an adverse effect on the plants and agricultural lands. It is a pungent gas with a pale blue color and usually, it is present in very low concentrations in the normal air. The MQ131 ozone gas sensor is used in outdoor monitoring stations, industries that use ozone for experimentation, laboratories, and sensitive areas that have a high concentration of ozone gas in the environment.In this article, we’ll study the MQ131 ozone gas sensor in detail. We’ll kick off the discussion with the introduction of this sens ...
