Color Sensor and Asynchronous Mode

Quark D2000 I2C Interfacing Add a Color Sensor and Asynchronous Mode

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

We finish up our project using I2C on the Quark D2000 development board with the addition of a color sensor and an object color identifier program. Finally, we revisit interfacing the BH1750FVI ambient light sensor using asynchronous mode I2C. Before continuing in this article, consider reading through part one of the article: Quark D2000 I2C Interfacing: […]

Get acquainted with using I2C with the Quark D2000 development board by interfacing an ambient light sensor and an LCD. Previously, we presented a general overview of the Quark D2000 development board. Subsequently, we explored the use of the board’s GPIO and PWM. In this project, we will explore using I2C with the D2000 board

Building a simple digital light meter using Arduino and BH1750FVI sensor

Building a simple digital light meter using Arduino and BH1750FVI sensor

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

A light meter is a device that measures the intensity of light. It finds applications in schools, hospitals, production areas, passageways and more to measure and maintain proper lighting levels. It is often used by photographers to determine the proper exposure for a photograph. Today we are going to build a simple light meter using

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

MCP9802 is a digital temperature sensor from Microchip that measures temperatures between -55°C and +125°C to a digital word. It provides an accuracy of ±1°C (maximum) from -10°C to +85°C. The MCP9802 sensor comes with user-programmable registers that provide flexibility for temperature sensing applications. The register settings also allow user-selectable 9-bit to 12-bit temperature measurement

BMP180 Interfacing with Arduino

Pressure Sensor BMP180 Interfacing with Arduino Uno

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

In this tutorial we are going to design a Barometric Pressure Measuring System using BMP180 and ARDUINO. First of all for interfacing BMP180 to ARDUINO, we need to download a library specifically designed for BMP180. This library is available at: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-BMP085-Library  After attaching that library, we can call special functions which will ease working with BMP180
