Sensirion SEK-SHTxx/SGP30 Sensor Evaluation Kit for Environmental Sensors

Sensirion

Sensririon was founded in 1998 and has gone on to become the world’s leading manufacturer of flow and environmental sensors. Senserion manufactures surface-mount (I2C) sensors for humidity, temperature and gas sensing. The traditional way of testing sensors involves soldering them onto a PCB that has been specifically for testing. This way of testing is very involving and time-consuming. It is for this reason that Sensirion came up with the SEK-SHTxx/SGP30 evaluation kit.

SEK-SHTxx/SGP30 evaluation kit

This kit provides flexibility when it comes to evaluating Sensirions sensors. It contains 5 sensors, plug and play hardware and software access making sensor evaluation quick and easy.

Sensors

The following sensors can be evaluated using the SEK-SHTxx/SGP30 evaluation kit.
The SGP30-A digital gas sensor
STS31-DIS- A digital temperature sensor
SHTC1, SHT32DIS-B, SHTW2- Digital humidity sensors
They are all tiny SMT devices that are mounted on flex PCB to ensure ease of plugging into the interface cable.

Hardware

The kit embodies a Sensor Bridge which acts as a USB to I2C interface. The bridge has two channels which are independent and allow simultaneous evaluation of two sensors. The kit also comes with two interface cables Each of the cables has an RJ-45 connector on one end. The connector plugs into the sensor bridge. The other end connects to a flex PCB connector.

Software

The software enables the kit to display and log in signals from the sensor or multiple sensors that have been connected to several SensorBridges on the same PC. The software is readily available for downloading from Sensirion’s website.

Little Know more about Brush-less Motors

Image
Brushless motors Brushless differs from conventional dc motors in the sense that it does not have brushes. Commutation is done using electronic drives to feed power to the stator windings. They consist of a rotor which is in the form of a permanent magnet and a stator that is in the form of polyphase armature windings. A  brushless DC motor  can be constructed in two ways; one is by placing the rotor outside the core and the other is by placing the rotor inside the core. How a brushless motor works Brushless motors are driven by electronic drives that  switch  the supply voltage between the stator windings while the rotor turns. There is a transducer that monitors the position of the rotor as it turns and conveys the information to an electronic controller. The controller then decides which stator winding to be energized based on the position of the rotor. Electronic drives are made up of two transistors each phase which is run by a microprocessor. T...

LED Modules: Manufacturer,Types and Application

Image
LED Modules Light-emitting diodes (LED) modules are LED self-contained devices that are designed to either function on its own or to plug into a compatible unit. These modules are mostly used in the development of both energy-efficient and portable lighting.  An LED contains several LED bulbs that are connected to a fixture that contains a battery or an alternative power supply which powers all the bulbs contained therein. LED modules can either emit white light or emit different colours based on the material they are made of. They are prominently used for advertising and signages but could as well be used for other purposes due to their versatility. Types of LED modules There are a variety of LED modules available in the market. There no specific parameters that can be used to categorize LED modules . They can be categorized in terms of efficiency, form, CCT, colour among others. Some of the common ones used in signage and advertising include; Side LED mod...

Block-chain: A Complete Beginners Guide | Block Chain Technology

Image
Blockchain technology Blockchain technology is barely three decades old, but it has completely changed global money transfer as we know it. It was first conceived in 1991 by a group of researchers who originally intended it to be used to timestamp digital documents to make it impossible to tamper with them. This concept was first put into actual use in 2009 by Satoshi Takamoto to create Bitcoin. Bitcoin has since spurred the adoption of  blockchain technology  for cryptocurrency, medical records, and land records among others.  What is blockchain? A blockchain is a network of computers that share a digital ledger that is duplicated and distributed across all participants in the network (nodes). That is to say that each node on the network has a duplicate copy of the ledger. The digital ledger keeps a chain of transactions since the creation of the network. The chain of transactions keeps growing as new blocks of transactions are approved and then added along....
