Today’s smartphones utilize a wide array of accelerometers, gyroscopes and various other sensors in their designs. Relatively unknown is the barometric pressure sensor, which measures air pressure. These sensors are currently being integrated into premium-grade smartphones, but are also becoming more common in mainstream phones or wearables such as fitness trackers and Internet of Things

The accuracy of any circuit or system that uses a thermocouple to determine the temperature of a process is limited by the accuracy of the method used to perform cold-junction compensation. In a thermocouple measurement, two wires of dissimilar metal join together at the “hot,” or measurement, junction. The isothermal termination of the thermocouple wires
Circuit provides cold-junction compensation Continue Reading
Reinventing the home security system with the IoT method using sensors connected to a Node.JS server. Story The Idea Modern security systems have several disadvantages, some of which are: As a user to you can’t customize the system the way you want The panel is in a centralized location, if you can’t get to it
