Specs The baseboard has an FTDI chip on it, so the user can unplug the baseboard from the USB battery and plug directly into their computer. Using a PuTTY terminal at 9600 baud, the user gets a VT-100 terminal that shows the actual values of the ambient light, or whatever the sensor is measuring. Along with the analog ambient light sensor and hall sensor, the sensor kit includes a digital ambient light sensor, a UV sensor, an accelerometer and magnetometer combo sensor, as well as a temperature sensor. The kit provides an easy way to see each sensor’s capabilities and how easily they can be integrated into other projects. ROHM has created a Github account, with the address on the Quick Start Guide, where they have posted all of the design files, both the hardware and the firmware, for this entire kit. If you’re looking for small form factor and easy-to-use sensors, the ROHM sensor platform kit is a great first step to finding what you need.

Level Control Relays Available from

FEATURED PRODUCTS SUPPLEMENT
HSN
ENRM
ENR
The Level Control Relays from Crouzet are typically used to control liquid levels in applications where fluid is being moved, monitored, or otherwise included in the system. Crouzet level control relays work by taking input from two level sensors, such as float switches, submersible probes, or capacitive sensors, and uses the feedback from those sensors to determine if the pump needs to turn on. The pump can be used for emptying or filling, and certain models include a time delay function. This time delay prevents the relay from toggling on and off due to waves or ripples in the liquid tripping the sensors.
15
Specs Level control with Crouzet relays utilizes float switches, capacitive sensing, or immersed probes to toggle the internal relay, which controls power to the pumps and valves. This controlled filling and emptying prevents pumps from running dry, which often results in downtime to repair or replace the pump. Crouzet’s ENR is a single output level controller that can be configured to pump up or down and relies on submerged probes. The pumping action and sensitivity is set from the front of the unit. For filling or pumping up, the relay turns on to start the pump once the liquid drops below the probe; for emptying, it turns on when the liquid level reaches the probe. The ENRM adds multiple probe sensitivity ranges and a time delay when sensing a single level. The time delay can be set to delay turning the relay on or off once the appropriate liquid level is reached. This allows any waves to settle out and ensures pumping does not turn on or off too soon. The HNM is similar to the ENRM, but includes a second relay. This second relay can be used to control other functions or to indicate the status of the pump to a PLC or other system controller.
