“The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most” – John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice. Colors… Would it be red or green today? Maybe blue — Blue is a deeply sneaky color, my ...

[Fjord Carver] brings together an RGB LED and CdS Photoresistor to make a color sensor. Those Cadmium Sulfide lights sensors usually have a very wide swing of resistance when exposed to varying levels ...

In Part 1, we covered the basics ofsensors and the characteristics youmust keep in mind when using them in designs. However, there isan enormous range of specialist sensors developed for ...

Last year, [Deep Tronix] wished to teach colors to his nephew. Thus, he built a toy to help educate a child about colors by pairing them with sounds, and Color Player was born. The build is based ...

Included in the family, called XMC1000, are MCUs that include a peripheral, the brightness and colour control unit (BCCU), that can dim and colour-tune LED lighting in a way that potentially ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

Figure 1 shows how you can connectthe sensor to the microcontroller. Youprogram the microcontroller to generatethe control signals for the sensor. Thedesign uses a 16-MHz clock frequency.The ...
