Home automation relies heavily on sensors of various kinds such as proximity sensor or motion sensor, liquid level sensor, smoke sensor, magnetic sensor, temperature sensor, light sensor and more. Types of Transducers and sensorsThere are two types of transducers viz. passive transducer and self ...
A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The input can be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure or any number of other environmental phenomena. The output is generally a signal that is converted to a human-readable display at the...
In case of reflective IR sensors, the transmitter and the detector are located adjacent to each other facing the object and when the object is in front of the sensor, the infrared light from the IR transmitter is reflected from the object and is detected by the IR receiver thereby helping ...
Sensors and actuators: Sensors are devices that can detect changes in the environment, such as temperature, humidity, light, motion, or pressure. Actuators are devices that can cause physical changes in the environment, such as opening or closing a valve or turning on a motor. These devices ar...

Light sensors, such as light-dependentresistors, measure changes in circuit resistance to determine changes in light intensity. Pressure sensorsare devices such as a strain gauge, which has a spring element that changes shape as force is applied, affecting resistance and changing the pressure reading...
If you’re new to the industry, or just trying to understand how you might be able to benefit from motion capture technology, we will help you better understand the features you may be looking for and why they are important. Motion capture (mocap) is the process of recording the movement...
What is Aperture & the Exposure Triangle Explained • Subscribe here Most modern light meters are digital, sporting electronic sensors that react to light. Older analog models might use a selenium or a silicon photocell. They both do the same essential job, but like comparing vinyl records to...
Modeling fluid dynamics in physical models can be tricky and potentially expensive due to the need for sensors and still may not capture an entire system’s performance. Using CFD simulation, accurate predictions can be calculated in a matter of minutes or hours and provides flexibility to experime...
Motion Detection using PIR Sensor A PIR or a Passive Infrared Sensor can be used to detect presence of human beings in its proximity. The output can be used to control the motion of door. Basically motion detection use light sensors to detect either the presence of infrared light emitted from...
