A force-sensing resistor is a material whose resistance changes when a force or pressure is applied. Force-sensing resistors consist of a conductive polymer, which changes resistance in a predictable manner following application of force to its surface.They are normally supplied…

On one of my recent visits to an electronics website I saw this voltage sensor, intrigued I bought it and wondered how it worked, there didn’t seem much to it. As a Chipkit Uno is limited to 3.3v maximum on…

In this example we will connect an LM35 temperature sensor to our Chipkit Uno The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. The LM35 thus has an advantage over…

In previous posts we showed some examples for the 4067 16-Channel multiplexer – http://www.piclearning.net/132/chipkit-uno-and-4067-led-output-example.php The HCF4051 device is a monolithic integrated circuit fabricated in MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) technology available in SO-16 and PDIP-16 packages. The HCF4051 analog multiplexer/demultiplexer is a digitally…
