Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are relatively new additions to your car’s suite of sensors. At least if you’re old enough to remember when keeping an eye on tire pressures was boasted about ...

If you need to measure a distance, it is tempting to reach for the ubiquitous ultrasonic module like an HC-SR04. These work well, and they are reasonably easy to use. However, they aren’t without ...

Occupant monitoring sensors in vehicles enhance safety by detecting presence and physiological states, using advanced ...

Why Replace A Faulty Oxygen Sensor? A faulty sensor cannot transmit accurate data to the car's computer, causing the engine to run unbalanced. An unbalanced engine either burns fuel with too much or ...

Modern vehicles rely on a massive amount of electrical systems, sensors, and control modules to keep the wheels turning. Some ...

In a way, the magic of a soil moisture sensor’s functionality boils down to a simple RC circuit. But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how ...

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors monitor the air pressure in a vehicle's tires and alert the driver when the pressure drops below a certain level. They are designed to increase road ...

I like this report from Ford on how they keep self driving sensors clean. They have air blowers which can divert any insects heading for the sensor up and over it, and sprayers and other air blowers ...

Hall effect sensors are everywhere right now. Keyboards, game controllers, and DIY kits use them for more precise inputs. But with any newly popular device, it can be easy to immediately jump onto the ...

Barometric pressure sensors measure atmospheric pressure in a variety of applications, providing crucial data for weather forecasting, altitude measurement, and environmental monitoring. In the field ...
