Linearizing Sharp Ranger Data
The Sharp family of infrared ranging modules
These modules are used extensively for robotics and automatic distance measurement applications. Unfortunately, the output of these sensors are inherently non-linear.
Driving High Power Loads with H-bridge
high power loads using low-level voltage signals
A common automation system requirement is to drive or actuate high power loads using low-level voltage signals.
Description of Pulse Width Modulation blog post
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) refers to the concept of rapidly pulsing a digital signal on a wire. Along with many other uses, it can be used to simulate a varying static voltage. PWM is commonly used for driving motors, heaters, LEDs or lights in varying intensities or speeds.
