+ | This is an attempt to collect information, documentation and code samples for interesting electronic components and various sensors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sensors: | ||
+ | * **Distance/Proximity** | ||
+ | * Sharp IR range finders, [[http://www.acroname.com/robotics/info/articles/sharp/sharp.html#e8|info + comparison]] | ||
+ | * **Temperature** | ||
+ | * Thermistor | ||
+ | * Digital Thermometer | ||
+ | * **Force** | ||
+ | * Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR), [[http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9375|sparkfun]], resistance changes depending on force applied on the pad. | ||
+ | * Flex sensor, [[http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8606|sparkfun]], As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. | ||
+ | * Vibration/piezo | ||
+ | * **Accelerometers** | ||
+ | * 3 axis analog, | ||
+ | * **Light** | ||
+ | * Photocell, CDS, photodetector, [[http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9088|Sparkfun]], resistance changes depending on light intensity. | ||
+ | * **Magnetic** | ||
+ | * Compass | ||
+ | * Hall Effect Sensor | ||
+ | * Reed Switches | ||
