Sensors and How to Use Them

In this webcast, we’ll introduce the concepts of changing physical signals into analog/electrical signals and then back into physical signals. A whole range of devices will be discussed including: temperature sensors,  and photodiodes (analog/electrical signals); actuators, speakers, and motors (physical signals). We’ll also talk about how signals can be processed for the highest accuracy reproduction.
