Sensor Technology in IoT and How it works
Senors Technology plays a key role when we use it in IoT. The sensor is a device which detects changes in an environment or measures physical property, record, indicates or respond to it. so, different types of applications require different types of sensors to data...
List of Commonly used Sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT) Devices you need to know
In many cases, sensors are useful and very important for the devices in order to fetch the data. The data can be real-time, which includes the current temperature, pressure or humidity. It can also sense the objects and calculate the distance between them. For each...
LiDAR: Light Detection and Ranging
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) measures distances. It uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to remotely generate measurement. In short it produces beams of laser light and measures how long it takes to return to the sensor in order to measure the distance....
