When it comes to testing microelectromechanical system devices and sensors, sometimes you have to shake and bake. and sensors are physically different from standard ICs. They require a specific type ...

We don’t know if this will come as a surprise to the regular Hackaday reader, but a whole bunch of Atmel microcontrollers have a very cool feature hidden away in their datasheets. Most of them – ...

NewTek manufactures custom linear position sensing units in various strokes, sizes and materials, engineered to operate ...

In automotive testing, temperature measurement is often performed at multiple positions. Large rolls of thermocouple wire are required to perform temperature measurements in and around a plastic ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...
