Here’s your useful and beautiful circuit for the day — [New Pew]’s vibration sensor takes manual control of the flip-flop inside a 555 timer and lights an LED in response. Use it to detect those ...

The idea behind this compact and economical Vibration Sensor Alarm is very simple. It uses a cheap and cheerful vibration sensor to drive a piezo-sounder. As can be seen in the circuit diagram, it is ...

Condition monitoring is a challenge for companies with mechanical facilities chockful of motors, generators and gears. But it is needed to give plant managers insights into how the mechanical ...

The ability to measure, monitor, and analyze vibration is essential to many industries and areas of research & development. Unfortunately, the proper methods for creating an accurate and repeatable ...

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

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. One of the cool things about modern technological development is that new devices give us greater control and connectivity than we previously ...

Microcontrollers come in all sorts and sizes, and it’s very tempting to use them everywhere. If you are in a plan to build your own Vending Machine, probably you need a microcontroller-compatible Drop ...

A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

Sorting out pills is a mildly tedious task, and one that’s ripe for a bit of automation. It’s a task that [Mellow] has taken on enthusiastically, with the result of an extremely well-designed ...
