Has anyone used the GE HS12P or HS15P humidity sensors? If so, what drive circuitry did you use with it in order to interface to a uC? Alternatively, does anyone have any other favourite humidity sensors instead of this one that they could point me at? TIA. Rog.

Hello, I need to be able to receive sensor readings such as temp, wirelessly over a distance of about 100 feet. I have to monitor 5 sensors. What is a good wireless link that can do this? Matched transmitters/recievers? Is there a receiver that can read from multiple transmitters? Thank you for your input. A

I want to test the I2C protocol between two STM32 (STM32L152RC) microcontrollers. Can somebody guide me on how to do it or suggest tutorials? I have seen some online portals where they are communicating between a microcontroller and any sensor. That I have done already. Now I want to test it between two MCU boards.

I'm looking for the smallest embedded device I can find that can do: 1. Infrared sensor 2. Wireless connection (can connect to an G router, for example, I'll have to check the distance that might cover, otherwise maybe N will have to be used) 3. DHCP 4. Low power consumption 5. User solar power to save battery life? At least have a couple out of 5, and I can try to work on the others. ...

Greetings, I am trying to design and implement a very simple camera that would capture VGA quality images and store them to flash memory such as SD or MMC. I am seeking the advice of the experienced people out there about the recommendations for a microcontroller and image sensor combination. I am looking for a fairly low cost solution since it is only a hobby. I know that I can get ...

Hi I am hoping someone might be able to help point me in the right direction. I have an embeeded application running in a PIC in which is sending sensor data over a wireless network. We want to keep the number of bytes in each packet sent to an absolute minimum. Some of the values we want to send back and forth are Floats which takes 4 bytes. We'd like represent some of the values ...
Interfacing with RTDs

My application is a temperature controller that uses a surface temperature sensor and Triac to adjust a heating element using a uC using PID control. Although I only need about a +/- .5 degree accuracy, I'm aiming for a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees C which seems to be comfortably out of the range of most thermistor solutions but seems to be within the capabilities of a standard RTD. I...

Hi, I need an opinion: a customer wish to comunicate with our board (that uses a Freescale MC56F8037 to control a BLDC motor with hall sensor for commutations and an encoder for position sensing) via a RS485 bus with a baudrate of 230400 bps. the frames are 16byte in length and a reply is expected within 3 msec (communication should be every 80 msec). I'm not sure that the 8037 can hand...

I hope all of you are doing well. I have come across a challenging project and I need your advice. Its a security application with the following scenario: Doors with computerized locks (biometric/swipecard/pincode), the locks access a central server for access authentication. The catch is that the communication between the lock (embedded computer/PCB etc) and the server has to be wireles...
