What is a Sensor HAT?
HAT is a three-letter acronym (TLA) for hardware attached on top: the terminology used for a hardware specification for add-on modules for the Raspberry Pi model B+. With a HAT, no soldering is required, so the module simply plugs onto the Raspberry Pi. Taking advantage of this design concept and the popularity of the Raspberry […]
How can you learn to use a digital output humidity+temperature sensor?
With Avnet’s four-part MiniZed SpeedWay Design Workshops™ interactive series of video presentations, using its MiniZed™ Zynq SoC development kit, interested participants learn techniques to integrate the HTU21D sensing peripheral module from TE Connectivity as part of the training. The development kit is a prototyping platform for embedded vision and Industrial IoT systems. Design Workshops are […]

The evolution of liquid level sensing
by Matt Burns, Technical Marketing Director, Sensors, Avnet There are multiple ways for engineers to measure and keep track of liquids in a container, and one will fit your application. Anyone who lives near a river or creek knows the anxiety that can happen during a thunderstorm, when rising water levels can cause high stress […]
Solution for Developing IoT Applications
At Sensors Expo 2013, Jim Carver, technical director of advanced architectures for Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, discusses the Avnet Wi-Go System for developing wireless connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT) that uses Freescale Semiconductor’s sensors and microcontroller. System demos show magnetometer, gyroscope and accelerometer capabilities in three different modes. To watch the video, click […]
