This article will guide you on the right path to learning a new skill by outlining the proper technique to splice wires and create a weatherproof seal to protect outdoor electronics.
Integrating a number of devices together into one circuit and individually commanding each device allows you to greatly simplify complex circuits. The I2C (inter-integrated circuit) protocol is one option that allows you to place multiple devices on one circuit and independently control each device.
Weatherproof the Pin Out of Your MaxSonar® with a Sensor Wire Attach Option - Why you should use this add-on.
When designing an application that places an ultrasonic sensor in a visible location, users may wish to conceal the sensor for aesthetic purposes. Additionally, users may desire to hide the sensor to discourage individuals from tampering with the sensor. This article covers several methods that you may use to conceal a sensor.
This article will cover external noise interference and temperature compensation, and how it can affect your application.
