Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU has been used in many boards, but I think I had seen the dual-core MCU in a PLC, or even any industrial products just yet. Sfera Labs Iono RP is a compact I/O module (PLC) with ...

There are several critical machines or expensive equipment which suffer damage due to vibrations. In such a case, a vibration sensor is required to find out whether the machine or equipment is ...

We all know about accelerometers and gyroscopes; they are primarily used to detect acceleration. While an Accelerometer can measure linear acceleration, the gyroscope can help find the rotational ...

A soil moisture meter is used to indicate the water content of a given soil sample. As crop production requires water at different stages and in different amounts, it is important to measure soil ...
