What is Reed Switch? Reed Switch is a magnetic switch that has two (on and off) switching modes, like a normal switch. The two pins are connected to each other by being in a magnetic field (for example, close to the magnet) and are disconnected by leaving that field.  These switches are used in open/close door detection sensors, seat belt sensors, collision detection sensors, etc.  Note Some magnetic switches are Normally Clo...

DHT11 Sensor Features The DHT11 is a digital temperature and humidity sensor. This sensor is able to measure the humidity in the range of 20% to 80% with an accuracy of 5%. It can also measure the temperature in the range of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius with an accuracy of 2 degrees. Note The sampling frequency of this sensor is 1Hz. As a result, there must be at least one second between every readings of the sensor, otherwise the reading values will be incorrect. ...

Interfacing this module with Arduino is quite easy. You can download the datasheet of this module here. [wpdm_package id='17132'] BH1750 ...

TCS3414CS Color Sensor Features TCS3414CS digital color sensor is based on TCS3414CS chip. It is designed to accurately derive the color chromaticity and illuminance (intensity) of ambient light. TCS3414CS color sensor provides a digital output I2C with 400kH speed. This sensor is able to detect different light spectra with high accuracy and speed. Note This module can’t detect the color of objects. It can only detect the reflected light spectra of objects. The higher the value of reflected l...

TCS230 Color Sensor Features The TCS230 chip reads an 8x8 array of photodiodes and uses them to recognize color. Sixteen photodiodes have blue filters, 16 photodiodes have green filters, 16 photodiodes have red filters, and 16 photodiodes are clear with no filters.The TCS230 module has 4 white LED. Photodiodes receive the light reflection of these LEDs from the surface of the object and generate an electric current depending on the color they receive.In addition to photodiodes, this sensor also has a cu...

TEMT6000 Sensor Features The TEMT6000 sensor is an analog sensor which has a function similar to NPN transistor. The sensor is designed to mainly detect the light spectrum visible to the human eye with peak sensitivity. If the light intensity increases or decreases, it will react properly. This sensor is too sensitive and react to slightest changes in a wide brightness range. Note This sensor does not react well to IR and UV light. You can download the datasheet of this sensor here.  [wpdm_...
