BMP280 is an absolute barometric pressure sensor especially designed for mobile applications. The sensor module is housed in an extremely compact package. Its small dimensions and its low power consumption allow for the implementation in battery powered devices such as mobile phones, GPS modules or…

The MLX90393 magnetic field sensor can be reprogrammed to different modes and with different settings at run-time. The sensor offers a 16-bit output proportional to the magnetic flux density sensed along the XYZ axes using the Melexis proprietary Triaxis® technology and also offers a temperature…

The MMA8451 is a low-power accelerometer with 14 bits of resolution, with the following features: Embedded functions with flexible user-programmable options, configurable to two interrupt pins Embedded interrupt functions for overall power savings relieving the host processor from continuously polling data Access to both low-pass filtered…

The MAX44009 ambient light sensor features an I²C digital output that is ideal for a number of portable applications such as smartphones, notebooks, and industrial sensors. At less than 1µA operating current, it is the lowest power ambient light sensor in the industry and features…

The TCS3472 device provides a digital return of red, green, blue (RGB), and clear light sensing values. An IR blocking filter, integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be…

Sometimes the simplest apps can be the most useful the RPIRef app for your Android device is an excellent example. Basically its a reference to the pinouts of the Raspberry Pi models, sounds basic and it is is but its amazing how often you forget…

If you haven’t heard of the MagPI its a magazine for the raspberry Pi, i wasn’t expecting much here to be honest I thought that the app would simply suggest links to subscribe to the actual magazine but while that is admittedly present there are…

The TLV1543C, TLV1543I, and TLV1543M are CMOS 10-bit, switched-capacitor, successive-approximation, analog-to-digital converters. These devices have three inputs and a 3-state output [chip select (CS\), input-output clock (I/O CLOCK), address input (ADDRESS), and data output (DATA OUT)] that provide a direct 4-wire interface to the serial…

This TSL2561 is an I2C light-to-digital converter TSL2561 that transforms light intensity to a digital signal. The TSL2561 features a selectable light spectrum range due to its dual light sensitive diodes: infrared and full spectrum. You can switch among three detection modes to take your…

You can create simple images by setting individual pixels on the 8×8 led matrix to different colors. In these examples we create some basic flags Swedish flag [codesyntax lang=”python”] from sense_hat import SenseHat sense = SenseHat() r = (255, 0, 0) o = (255, 127,…
