Photoelectric Encoder Module Features Motors are used in a wide variety of applications such as robotics, industry, research and educational projects. In most of these applications, it is necessary to calculate the rotation speed, the direction of rotation and the position of the motor shaft. Rotary encoder modules can be used for this purpose. Rotary encoder is a type of module that converts rotation into electrical signals. The rotary encoder has two output pins: A and B. If the rotary encoder i...

UVM30A UV Sensor Module Features Ultraviolet (UV) light is produced by sunlight. Gradual thinning of Earth's ozone layer has increased the amount of UV radiation which can lead to sunburn and other problems. UV radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength from 200 nm to 370 nm, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. The UVM30A UV sensor module is used for detecting the intensity of ultraviolet radiation. This module has an analog output that changes with the int...

ML8511 UV Sensor Module Features Most electrical devices, such as desktop computers, cell phones, TV monitors, etc are sources of ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation can cause many skin diseases and burns. Therefore, it is essential to know the amount of UV light in the environment. The ML8511 UV sensor module can be used to calculate the intensity of UV light in the environment. This sensor is quite easy to use. It outputs an analog voltage that changes linearly according to th...

Introduction Welcome to the world of environmental sensing! Nowadays, with all the climate changes and pollution concerns, understanding and monitoring our surroundings have become super important. That's why we’re going to talk about the BME680 sensor!The BME680 sensor can measure temperature, humidity, pressure, and even VOCs (volatile organic compounds). It gives us valuable data to improve our quality of life. But knowing how to use it effectively can be very helpful. In this tutorial, we'll cover...

Introduction If you are interested in sensors, you are probably familiar with proximity detection sensors. There are various sensors available for proximity detection; each with its own capabilities and limitations. One method is to use the infrared transceivers. These sensors measure the time it takes for an infrared beam to travel back and forth and calculate the distance between the sensor and the target surface.In this tutorial, we’ll introduce the TMD27713 distance detection sensor. Whether you...
