Different Types of Sensors:
Let us see the various types of sensors that are available in the market and discuss their functionality, working, applications etc. We will discuss various sensors like:
Light Sensor
IR Sensor (IR Transmitter / IR LED)
Photodiode (IR Receiver)
Light Dependent Resistor
Different Types of Sensors
Temperature Sensor
Thermistor
Thermocouple
Pressure/Force/Weight Sensor
Strain Gauge (Pressure Sensor)
Load Cells (Weight Sensor)
Position Sensor
Potentiometer
Encoder
Hall Sensor (Detect Magnetic Field)
Flex Sensor
Sound Sensor
Microphone
Ultrasonic Sensor
Touch Sensor
PIR Sensor
Tilt Sensor
Accelerometer
Gas Sensor
We need to select the desired sensor based on our project or application. As said earlier in order to make them work proper voltage should be applied based on their specifications.
Now let us see the working principle of the various sensors and where it can be seen in our day to day life or its application.
