A brief explanation of what sensors are and their role in electronics.
Sensors are electronic components that detect changes in the environment such as light, motion, temperature, sound, or gas and convert them into signals that a microcontroller (like an Arduino) can read and respond to.
Measures ambient temperature and humidity. Ideal for weather stations and climate control systems.
Uses sound waves to measure distance. Commonly used in obstacle detection and robot navigation.
Detects human motion through infrared radiation. Great for security systems and auto-lighting.
Detects sound levels. Can be used in clapping-activated systems or noise monitoring.
Detects water presence and level in tanks or reservoirs. Used in smart irrigation or flood detection.
Senses the intensity of light. Ideal for light-activated systems like automatic night lamps.
Detects magnetic fields. Useful for speed sensing, door status detection, and motor feedback.
Detects gases like LPG, methane, carbon monoxide, and smoke. Used in air quality monitoring and fire alarms.
Detects objects using infrared reflection. Commonly used in line-following and obstacle-avoiding robots.
Detects changes in orientation or vibration. Useful in anti-theft devices or movement detection.
Measures the amount of current flowing in a circuit. Essential for energy monitoring projects.
Detects acceleration and orientation in 3 axes (X, Y, Z). Used in gesture-controlled systems and motion tracking.
Learning sensors is just the beginning. Keep exploring, and stay tuned for updates!
