We needed one to make sure that the air to fuel ratio was right so we can drive at the speed limit on the highway — Installing a new sensor on an old truck These sensors have come standard with automobiles since the mid-1980s. The truck that we built into a tiny home is a 1985 Ford F-Series with a box on the back that we use as our living space. Our truck happened to not have one of these sensors. Our truck isn’t…

One of the most essential factors for autonomous vehicles is perception. We have eyes to perceive the environment and ears to listen to the sounds and make suitable decisions as human drivers. However, if we are going to implement that capability in an autonomous car, we must first put eyes…

A sensor is a small device that examines and determines its surrounding. This device has a vital role in smartphones. There are different types of sensors that are used in a smartphone. Here, we will discuss some of them with their functions. Accelerometer sensor The rotation of the screen of…

Evolution or revolution, we’re on a journey that will surely affect…everything — I’m often asked, “When will the Internet of Things materially impact me or my organization?” Given the enormous amount of hype associated with the IoT, the question is reasonable. Fortunately, history offers us a guide to how this is likely to play out. Let’s quickly look at the factors that…

More forward-thinking CIOs and CTOs are focused on the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). Management challenges are top of mind for those who have already deployed a large number of sensors and associated network edge devices. Device management services are evolving in response to a greater breadth of…

Use a Strain Gauge + HX711 Load Cell Amplifier as bed leveling sensor for any 3D Printer. Code and development process can be found in github. Description Using this Smart Strain Gauge Sensor has the following benefits compared to traditional sensors such as switches and capacitive/inductive sensors: No sensor-nozzle relative position…

Wireless Sensor Networks are networks of sensors designed to detect the presence of a fault in the system and report it to a central control station (PCS) or enterprise wide system. The system is designed to detect faults that may occur during normal operation of the equipment and to send…

So far the conversation has been about ownership, privacy and many other issues surrounding IoT data. Now it’s time to discuss how the money will be generated. — We’ve all been looking at, thinking and talking about the Internet of Things (IoT) for some time now. Many of us have begun to implement IoT-based systems and solutions in our businesses and homes (“Alexa, are you an IoT device?”). The majority of these, insofar as the commercial world is…

Introduction At the end of 2021, I took on the opportunity to intern with GovTech’s Sensor and Internet Of Things (SIOT) division, working under the SmartGym team. During my internship, I was tasked to improve and work on a web application to facilitate alternative log-in solutions to enhance users’ experience…
