Interfacing is the method of connecting or linking together one device, especially a computer or micro-controller with another allowing us to design or adapt the output

Electrical DC Motors are continuous actuators that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The DC motor achieves this by producing a continuous angular rotation that can

Sound is the generalised name given to “acoustic waves”. These acoustic waves have frequencies ranging from just 1Hz up to many tens of thousands of

We have seen in this section on Input/Output Devices that transducers are devices which convert one form of energy into another. For example, microphones convert sound waves

The linear solenoid works on the same basic principal as the electromechanical relay seen in the previous tutorial and just like relays, they can also be switched

These types of temperature sensor vary from simple ON/OFF thermostatic devices which control a domestic hot water heating system to highly sensitive semiconductor types that

Thus far we have seen a selection of Input devices that can be used to detect or “sense” a variety of physical variables and signals and are

As their name implies, Position Sensors detect the position of something which means that they are referenced either to or from some fixed point or position. These

A Light Sensor generates an output signal indicating the intensity of light by measuring the radiant energy that exists in a very narrow range of frequencies basically

But in order for an electronic circuit or system to perform any useful task or function it needs to be able to communicate with the
