Sensors, Input Devices and Microcontrollers | Zero to Maker Workshop

🔗 *The full Workshop* : _https://core-electronics.com.au/courses/zero-to-maker-workshop/_ In this video, we will be looking at input devices (or sensors) and how we can incorporate them into our microcontroller-based projects. We will be taking a look at the role of input devices, how they work in general terms, and we will be looking at some guidelines on choosing a sensor for your project, as well as wiring some up. 🔧🔨🧰 Hardware featured in this guide: *Soil Moisture Sensor:* _https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE09640_ *Atmospheric Sensor:* _https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE07503_ *Camera Module:* _https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/AC-B0401_ *ESP32:* _https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/SS113991114_ *Sensors:* _https://core-electronics.com.au/sensors.html_ 💡❓ If you have any questions about this content or want to share a project you're working on head over to our *maker forum:* _http://coreelec.io/forum_ 0:00 Intro 0:28 What is an Input Device 1:24 How do Microcontrollers Read Inputs 2:49 Choosing a Sensor 5:44 Sensors in Action 🌏🦘 *Core Electronics* is located in the heart of Newcastle, Australia.
