  2. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

    A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors . PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.

  3. Security alarm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

    Sensors: In a security alarm, some sensors detect intrusions. Sensors' locations are at the perimeter of the protected area, within it, or both. Sensors can detect intruders by different methods. Alerting devices indicate an alarm condition. Most commonly, these are bells, sirens, also and or flashing lights. Alerting devices serve the dual ...

  4. Serial Peripheral Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface

    Examples include pen-down interrupts from touchscreen sensors, thermal limit alerts from temperature sensors, alarms issued by real-time clock chips, SDIO [note 7] and audio jack insertions for an audio codec. Interrupts to main may also be faked by using polling (similarly to USB 1.1 and 2.0).

  5. Arduino - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino

    A sketch is a program written with the Arduino IDE. [72] Sketches are saved on the development computer as text files with the file extension .ino. Arduino Software (IDE) pre-1.0 saved sketches with the extension .pde. A minimal Arduino C/C++ program consists of only two functions: [73]

  6. Signal (IPC) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(IPC)

    The SIGTSTP signal is sent to a process by its controlling terminal to request it to stop (terminal stop). It is commonly initiated by the user pressing Ctrl + Z . Unlike SIGSTOP, the process can register a signal handler for, or ignore, the signal.

  7. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  8. Triggering device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triggering_device

    A Triggering device is an electronic circuit, such as a Schmitt trigger, which is used to control another electronic circuit. Uses In many of industrial operations ...

  9. Sense (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_(electronics)

    In electronics, sense is a technique used in power supplies to produce the correct voltage for a load.Although simple batteries naturally maintain a steady voltage (except in cases of large internal impedance), a power supply must use a feedback system to make adjustments based on the difference between its intended output and its actual output.
