Sensors of the same type don’t necessarily measure the same “things”
When evaluating different motion sensors, consider the number of axes your device needs to measure for your application. Then, consider the possibilities that could be unlocked by measuring additional–or different–axes. Choosing the right sensor capability early in your development process will lead to the…

Driving piezo actuators with linear amplifier
Piezo actuators are widely used in today’s applications. They are available in all kinds of shapes and relatively cheap. Large forces can be produced at precise and small movements. However, the capacitive character, the required high voltages and currents make the control of piezo actuators difficult. The solution to this problem is the use of power-operational amplifiers. In this TOP…
