I've been playing around with a couple of ESP32 microcontrollers, and that experimentation has taught me a lot about sensors and what you can build for really, really cheap. For as little as $4, you ...

This module features a vibration sensor, an adjustable trimpot, and a comparator chip to give an adjustable digital output based on the amount of vibration. The multiturn trimpot can be adjusted to ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, is a term used to describe the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, including the Internet of ...

Understanding the role vibration sensors play in proactive maintenance applications is critical to avoiding unplanned downtime. A vibration sensor can reveal if a motor is misaligned to a pump or ...

This article discusses how to build a tiny, shared power and data interface (PoDL) for a condition-based monitoring sensor, delving into power-supply and mechanical design, MEMS sensor selection, and ...

What is predictive maintenance (PdM)? It’s the application of instrumentation and intelligence to help determine the condition of equipment and whether maintenance should be performed to avoid ...
