The DS3231 is a popular real-time-clock (RTC) integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by Maxim Integrated. An RTC is a device that keeps track of time even when the main power source to a system, such as a microcontroller or a computer, is turned off or unavailable. The DS3231 is commonly used in a variety of electronic […]
The MPU6050 is a sensor module used in electronics and robotics. It combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in a single package. This combination of sensors allows it to measure both linear motion (acceleration) and rotational motion (angular velocity) in three dimensions each. It is commonly used in projects involving motion tracking, orientation […]
VL53L0X Time-of-Flight (ToF) Distance Sensor The VL53L0X Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor is a miniature, highly advanced distance sensor designed to measure distances accurately and quickly. It operates based on the principle of time-of-flight, where it emits a laser or infrared light pulse and measures the time it takes for the light to bounce back after hitting […]
BMP280 Pressure Sensor The BMP280 is a popular digital pressure sensor manufactured by Bosch Sensortec. It is commonly used to measure barometric pressure and temperature. It is capable of measuring pressure ranging from 300 hPa to 1100 hPa. While the sensor is mainly designed to measure barometric pressure, it also includes a built-in temperature sensor […]
