List of My Personal Used Sensor

I have been used many sensors for finished or on-going cyber physical projects. Sometimes the sensors work well as I expected and some sensors are not, easily configured or not, and cheap or expensive. It depends on the budgets for buying these sensor.

FYI, the sensor really has constrain. As we know the sensors manufacture like Senserion, DFRobots, Adafruits, etc build with their different specification.

In this article, I’ll give you the basic information about the sensors on several purpose of measurement.

I’ll keep updating the page.

Sensor and Actuator – The Bridge between the cyber and the Physical

A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity. An Actuator is a device that alters a physical quantity. In electronic systems, sensor often produces a voltage that is proportional to the physical quantity being measured. The voltage may then be converted to a number by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A sensor that is package with an ADC is called a digital sensor, whereas a sensor without an ADS is called an analog sensor. A digital sensor will have a limited precision, determined by the number of bits used to represent the number (this can be as few as one). The actuator too, it’s commonly driven by a voltage that may be converted from a number by a digital-to-analog converted (DAC). An actuator that is package with a DAC is called a digital actuator.
