Description

This group is dedicated to sensors and transducers.

Sensors are multidisciplinary objects. I've put this group into a more specific "Engineering > Electrical" cathegory, because sensors are often viewed as a part of the EE domain.

Everyone's welcome: engineers, researchers, educated hobbyists, students (we like to help you but we prefer not to do the school homework instead of you)

Questions such as "I need to measure (or control) something. What sensors do I need? How can I interface them to the rest of my device?" are most welcome, because brainstorms are fun. Any well-formulated questions related to sensors are welcome.

My personal interest is transducers for underwater acoustic communication. But I'll try to participate in other discussions too.

No spam. Ban on 1st offense. I considered job postings spam. This is an engineering group, not an HR group. There are special groups for jobs. However, rare exceptions can be arranged in advance for the active members.

capacitive sensor amplifier
Greetings, Can anyone recommend a low power, 3v, rail-to-rail amp for a 40Khz driven capacitive sensor? Thanks. eltury

Re: Sin-Cos rotary position sensor
Given your constraints, it sounds like about the only way you are going to be able to reduce the price is build you own encoders.  This is actually fairly

Re: Sin-Cos rotary position sensor
It is still unknown what limits you need. Is this a mechanical questions or just for the electronics? As you mentioned Amateurs' kit I think you should look

Re: Sin-Cos rotary position sensor
I used incremental type shaft encoders at many project. But encoder price not cheap and begin 100$ at my country. Resolvers begin 100Euro. I want to reduce the
