Raindrop Sensor

A raindrop sensor, also known as a rain sensor or rain detector, is a device used to detect rainfall or the presence of water droplets. It is commonly used in weather monitoring systems, automatic irrigation systems, and rainwater harvesting systems. Here’s an overview of how raindrop sensors work and their applications: Working Principle: Raindrop sensors… Continue reading Raindrop Sensor

Color Sensor

A color sensor is a type of sensor that can detect and differentiate between different colors or wavelengths of light. These sensors are used in various applications where color recognition or detection is required. Here are some key points about color sensors: Working Principle: Spectral Sensing: Color sensors work based on the principle of spectral… Continue reading Color Sensor

Hall Effect Sensor

A Hall effect sensor is a transducer that measures the magnetic field around it. It works based on the Hall effect, which is the production of a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current. Here are some… Continue reading Hall Effect Sensor

UNIPOLAR AND BIPOLAR STEPPER MOTOR COMPARISON

Unipolar and bipolar stepper motors are two common types of stepper motors used in various applications. Here’s a comparison between unipolar and bipolar stepper motors: Unipolar Stepper Motors: Coil Arrangement: Unipolar stepper motors have two windings per phase, with the center tap of each winding connected to a common wire. They typically have six or… Continue reading UNIPOLAR AND BIPOLAR STEPPER MOTOR COMPARISON

RELAY

A relay is an electromechanical switch that is operated by an electric current to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. Relays consist of a coil and one or more sets of contacts. When the coil is energized, it creates a magnetic field that causes the contacts to close or open, allowing or interrupting… Continue reading RELAY

PIR SENSOR

A PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor is a type of electronic sensor that detects motion by measuring changes in the infrared levels emitted by objects in its field of view. Here’s an explanation of its principle and how it works: Principle of Operation: Infrared Radiation: All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit infrared radiation.… Continue reading PIR SENSOR

LDR

An LDR or light dependent resistor is also known as photo resistor, photocell, photoconductor. It is a one type of resistor whose resistance varies depending on the amount of light falling on its surface. When the light falls on the resistor, then the resistance changes.   These resistors are often used in many circuits where it is required to sense the presence of light. These resistors have a… Continue reading LDR

G-CODE

G-code, short for “Geometric Code” or “G-programming,” is a standardized programming language used in computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining. It consists of a set of instructions that control the movements and operations of CNC machines, such as milling machines, lathes, routers, and 3D printers. These instructions are typically alphanumeric codes that… Continue reading G-CODE

COMPARISON BETWEEN FUSION 360 AND SOLIDWORKS

Fusion 360 and SolidWorks are both powerful computer-aided design (CAD) software tools used for 3D modeling and engineering design. However, they have some differences in terms of features, pricing, and their overall approach to design. Here’s a comparison between Fusion 360 and SolidWorks based on various factors: 1. User Interface: Fusion 360: Cloud-based design tool… Continue reading COMPARISON BETWEEN FUSION 360 AND SOLIDWORKS
