Title: Identify sensors.
Course: Electronics Systems III (17106-III) > Section: Using Sensors

Identification should include

- encoders (e.g., incremental and absolute position)
- position sensors (e.g., potentiometers, magnetic absolute position)
- speed sensors
- hall-effect sensors
- distance, range sensors
- color sensor
- pressure sensor
- light sensor
- gyros and compass sensors.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why are so many sensors necessary?
- How does a position sensor work?
- How is a gyro sensor different from a pot sensor?
- What are the functions of gyro and compass sensors?
