FTDI Basic Breakout - 5V

We now use a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact. Functionality has remained the same. This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 5V Arduino boards. It can also be used for general serial applications. Meet The Tacit Project.

Recently I dropped on the paper entitled “Rhythm of Life Aid (ROLA): An Integrated Sensor System for Supporting Medical Staff During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) of Newborn Infants” in IEEE TITB Journal.

Supporting Medical Stuff during CPR of Infants using Arduino « Medical and Health Related Projects with Arduino

Authors present a system that utilizes various sensors and provides audiovisual feedback to physicians for exercising the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on newborn infants. CRP is a crucial medical procedure for the survival of a newborn infant when complications, such as asphyxia or severe infection leading to cessation of breathing and decrease of the heart rate, exist. On one hand, improper chest compressions could cause internal injury to patients, such as rib fractures, punctured lungs, and damage to the heart, liver, or spleen. On the other hand, insufficient compression depth can be caused by too soft compressions. Shoes for Blind - Le Chal with Proximity sensors and Vibration. Shoes for the Blind People?

This is true, a Researchers from Hewlett - Packard Labs in Bangalore, India named Anirudh Sharma developed a shoe that is equipped with proximity sensors and vibration which is normally found in mobile phones. Visual Aid System for Blind Persons using proximity sensors,Bluetooth and LABVIEW. Benefits of Virtual Instrumentation:The very concept of Virtual Instrumentation has made the job of design testing much easier.Now instead of managing every hardware component, ensuring their functionality and thefinal interconnections in the whole design, one can simply design the module on virtualinstrumentation software such as LabVIEW and vary the various design parameters to get theoptimum results making it highly user friendly.

Also one can eliminate the need of costlydevices as they can be simulated and the errors can be easily identified and rectified. VirtualInstrumentation not only makes the designing process simpler but also cheaper. Also as theconcept of virtual instrumentation is based on standard commercial technologies it easilyserves the masses. Inc., Ultrasonic Rangefinders to Meet Industrial & Other Applications.

Inc., Ultrasonic Rangefinders to Meet Industrial & Other Applications

HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ The HRUSB‑MaxSonar‑EZ products are low cost ultrasonic high resolution range finder that provides a component module solution that offers an easy to use USB interface, no sensor dead zone, calibrated beam pattern, 1-mm resolution, stable range readings, and a host of other features. Ultrasonic Range Finder - Maxbotix LV-EZ0. Description: This is the fantastically easy to use sensor from Maxbotix.

Ultrasonic Range Finder - Maxbotix LV-EZ0

We are extremely pleased with the size, quality, and ease of use of this little range finder. The serial interface is a bit odd (it's RS232 instead of standard TTL), but the PWM and Analog interfaces will allow any micro to listen easily enough. The sensor provides very accurate readings of 0 to 255 inches (0 to 6.45m) in 1 inch increments with little or no dead zone! Maxbotix is offering the EZ0, EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, and EZ4 with progressively narrower beam angles allowing the sensor to match the application.

Please see beam width explanation below. Control up to 10 sensors with only two pins! Features: An application of infrared sensors for electronic white stick. Abstract. Sign In. Are we getting close? Proximity Sensors. In past tutorials, we have covered temperature, color, time, direction, but never distance or proximity.

Are we getting close? Proximity Sensors

I think I strayed away from this because most of the lower cost proximity sensors are pretty drop-dead-simple to use and thought it might not be that useful. TMP36 - Analog Temperature sensor [TMP36] ID: 165 - $2.00 : Adafruit Industries. Wide range, low power temperature sensor outputs an analog voltage that is proportional to the ambient temperature.

To use, connect pin 1 (left) to power (between 2.7 and 5.5V), pin 3 (right) to ground, and pin 2 to analog in on your microcontroller. The voltage out is 0V at -50°C and 1.75V at 125°C. You can easily calculate the temperature from the voltage in millivolts: Temp °C = 100*(reading in V) - 50See the webpage for datasheets and more information.
