Do you have a question on MEMS Sensors? Ask our Expert, Donna Sandfox

Hi D

What would be an ideal sensor to use on a simple project like a Pedometer, just to measure the steps, convert them to distance and calories, without complicated algorithms .

Thanks

i m not a tech expert just a regular person but with an idea, but i don t know where to start so i figure you guys can help, it s an idea for restaurants garbage bins that would require a sensor or some sort of. anyone can help me? 

Regarding the pedometers, I'd check out what manufacturers of accelerometeres have to offer.  Sorry for the delayed reply, didn't see the notice come in on your question.

Vincenzo, what is it specifically that you want to detect or measure?

i wanna build a top for garbage bins with some kind of brush that clears the plait from food and go straight to dishwasher without needing a pressure rinse and save lots of water and make it easier for the waiters to dump the food and hand the plaits to the dishwasher guy, could you help me build something like that? we can share the profits thank you. Regards,Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo, my company does not offer design services for this type of idea, though there may be someone else out there in element14 who does.  Good Luck!

Hello Donna

                        This is vamshi from india,persuing my graduation we are working on a project based on brain signals,will u please suggest any sensors that can capture and conver them to voltages so that each different thought will  work as input to microcontroller.

Wow, I don't have any idea on that one!

Anyone else out there want to take a shot at this question??

Hi Vamshi,

Look at the headset called MindWave from Neurosky.  It is reusable and comes with its own software.

I just ordered one last week for about 110 USD.  I look forward to its delivery.

Hope this helps.

Hello sir this is vamshi from india we are doing project for disabled people, our project title is"Thoughts into action " is based on moving wheel chair without anyone's help, thoughts in your mind will controle the wheelchair to move forward,backward,turn left and turn right.

I need your technical assistance sir we are about to do work on MSP430F MicroController series sir,and devise to recieve signals from brain to give input to MC. Sir i need to talk to you sir if you are free please make a call at +918686260302

Thanking you in anticipation sir.
