A new sensor has been designed to replace mechanical float switches. The Leveltrak is an electronic non-floating sensor. It detects level without any moving parts. Using capacitative sensing ...
DARPA has awarded a contract for the next phase of development of its Ocean of Things (OoT), a project to seed the seas with thousands of floating sensors, monitoring everything that passes from ...
Regular readers of Hackaday will know that the projects we feature are generally of the high-tech variety. Microcontrollers, 3D printed parts, embedded Linux, lots of wires, that sort of thing. But ...
According to a new study published in Nature, researchers at the University of Washington have developed small, wireless sensors that can travel on the wind, much like dandelion seeds can. Researchers ...
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has launched a program to develop affordable, environmentally friendly sensors to monitor ocean temperature, movement and other key data. (Graphic/DARPA) ...
Berkeley—A fleet of 100 floating robots took a trip down the Sacramento River today (Wednesday, May 9) in a field test organized by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley. The ...
Digital temperature sensors combine a sensor, an ADC, and a serial interface in a single chip. They feature wide enough measurement range, good accuracy and resolution, no need of external parts, easy ...
It’s been a couple of years and a couple of million dollars. Finally, researchers and graduate students who have spent years developing intelligent water sensors released them into the Sacramento ...
We are currently in the process of putting in a backyard pool. This is an in-ground gunite pool. I inquired about an auto-fill system from the pool builder but he talked me out of it. He explained ...
A gliding sensor inspired by Javan cucumber seeds could be used for environmental monitoring, and then quickly biodegrade, leaving no waste behind. Ecologists routinely use sensors to collect data on ...
