Board Mount Motion & Position Sensors This basic piezo sensor from Measurement Specialties is often used for flex touch vibration and shock measurements. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back and forth. A simple resistor should get the voltage

Air Quality Sensors This is a simple-to-use compressed natural gas (CNG) sensor suitable for measuring natural gas (mostly methane [CH4]) concentrations in the air. The MQ-4 can detect natural gas concentrations ranging from 200 to 10000 ppm.This sensor has a high se

Acceleration Sensor Development Tools We've been using and selling Analog Devices' ADXL accelerometers for a good while now and now we've found another great part in the series! The ADXL362 is a complete 3-axis MEMS acceleration measurement system that operates at extremely low power co

Current Sensor Development Tools The INA169 is a high-side current monitor which means that you place a resistor (a shunt resistor ) on the positive power rail and the INA169 measures the voltage drop across that resistor. The INA169 outputs a small current based on the
