Gesture Sensing E-textiles

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Muhammad Bilal

After playing around with Freetouch to make a knitted fabric switch, it was found that the sensor reading varied depending on the type of interactions. For example, prodding the fabric resulted in a much lower sensor reading than grabbing the fabric. Based on this observation, I played around with how to use Freetouch and knitted

Resistive/Capacitive Sensing Tester (For E-textiles Soft Sensors and More)

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Muhammad Bilal

A handy-dandy portable device for testing e-textile sensors on the fly. Sometimes your electronics workspace and your textiles workspace are not the same places. You want to make multiple samples and test them, but then you have to carry your whole electronics prototyping kit (laptop, breadboard, crocodile clips, Arduino etc) and do all the setup.

Motion Sensing Under Bed Lighting

LED Projects / Muhammad Bilal

Ever tried to get out of bed quietly at night only to trip over something and wake up the whole house? Motion sensing night lights installed discreetly under your bed provide low-level light bright enough to guide you around those stray LEGO bricks but dim enough so you’re not woken up fully. As well as

Dual-Channel Quadrature Hall-Effect Bipolar Switch Module for Magnetic Encoder

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

The A1230 is a dual-channel, bipolar switch with two Hall-effect sensing elements, each providing a separate digital output for speed and direction signal processing capability. Additionally, it features a Magnetic Encoder for enhanced functionality. The Hall elements are photo lithographically aligned to better than 1 µm. maintaining accurate mechanical location between the two active Hall

The Aurora Boxealis – A Color Sensing and Mirroring Project

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Introduction Besides looking damned good on an otherwise bland and ordinary desk, this project is about more than just being attention grabbing eye candy. It’s about demonstrating a small portion of our single board computer capabilities by hooking up a color sensor, RGB light strip, and enclosing it in a nice looking wooden enclosure. We’re

Sensing Humidity With The SHT15

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

The SHT15 is a digital humidity sensor that outputs a fully calibrated humidity reading. And… because what we are measuring is actually relative humidity, and relative humidity being relative to temperature, the SHT15 has a builtin digital thermometer. This makes things much easier to work with than sensors without a thermometer onboard. You can pick

Proximity sensor, gesture and ambient light sensing (ALS) module

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

The VL6180X is the latest product based on ST’s patented FlightSense™technology. This is a ground-breaking technology allowing absolute distance to be measured independent of target reflectance. Instead of estimating the distance by measuring the amount of light reflected back from the object (which is significantly influenced by color and surface), the VL6180X precisely measures the

Temperature Sensing using DS18B20 Digital Sensors

Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Note: When referring to Arduino below, this works in the same way on the emonTx which is arduino-based. The DS18B20 is a small thermometer with a built in 12bit ADC; it can be easily connected to Arduino digital input. The sensor communicates over a one-wire bus and requires little in the way of additional components.
