Sensors in Seven Steps: From Fundamentals to Applications

Course topics

Each step has its own page, a practical explanation and a synergistic section for questions and answers.

1 Step 1: The basics of sensors and the reason for using them In the first step of the "Sensors in 7 steps" course, we will get to know the general concept of sensor and the reason for its use in electronic and embedded systems. We examine why there are different sensors to measure a specific quantity and why one sensor cannot be considered suitable for all projects. Also, we get to know some important criteria for choosing a sensor, such as measurement range, accuracy, resolution, response speed, output type, environmental conditions, power consumption, and cost. These criteria will be examined in more detail in the next step.
