Reading a sensor datasheet
Embedded Systems and the Internet of Things
Requires
- datasheet-reading required
Required by
- Choosing and reading temperature and humidity sensors (thermistor, DHT22, BME280/SHT3x) required
- Explaining warm-up, calibration drift and why hobby gas sensors are never safety devices required
- Explaining what accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers measure and what 6-axis and 9-axis mean required
- Measuring distance with ultrasonic timing, time-of-flight and IR reflectance, and their failure modes required
- Telling accuracy, precision and resolution apart required
- Using Hall-effect sensors and quadrature encoders to sense position and speed required
