Sensors
(*Sensors are devices that detect
and/or measure physical quantities)
Ultrasonic Sensor
-the sensor which
can measure
distance of objectcs
directly in front of it
Vibration sensor
- for detecting
vibrations from
the
surrounding
Temperature sensor
- for measuring
(air)
temperature
Flame sensor
- for detecting
the presence
of flame
Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)
- for
measuring the
amount of light
received
Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor
- for detecting
motions of living
organisms that emit
infrared radiation
(such as humans)
Microphone
- for detecting
sound
Digital barometric sensor
- for measuring
atmospheric
pressure
Soil moisture sensor
- for measuring
moisture of the
soil
Gas sensor
- for detecting the
presence of gas
such as LPG leak,
smoke, propane,
hydrogen, carbon
Humidity and rain sensor
- for measuring
levels of humidity
and detecting the
presence of rain
Speed sensor
- for measuring
speed of an
object relative
to a fixed point
