چکیده
Abstrac t An improved single point calibration technique applied on direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface is presented. The improvements are in reducing the systematic errors in a given measurement range by increasing the transfer characteristics nonlinearity. The experimental results showed that this approach reduces the overall systematic errors of the measurements more than twice and considerably increases the measurement speed. In the paper, theoretical and experimental analyses are performed for resistive modulating sensors.

Calibration-less direct capacitor-to- microcontroller interface
A new technique to measure a capacitor or a capacitive sensor by means of a direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface circuit that does not need a calibration capacitor is proposed. Basically, the measurement process consists of three consecutive steps of charge, discharge and charge of the capacitor under test. A non-linear equation is obtained and solved that is dependent only on known circu...
متن کاملCorrection to "Error analysis and reduction for a simple sensor-microcontroller interface"
Error analysis of a resistive sensor-to-microcontroller interface based on pulse-width modulation and time–ratio measurement shows that internal input and output resistances in microcontroller digital ports produce zero, gain and nonlinearity errors. The time–ratio measurement technique cancels these errors when the sensor resistance equals the reference resistor and reduces errors around that ...
متن کاملImproving the Resolution in Direct Inductive Sensor-to-Microcontroller Interface
The paper describes an improved direct inductive sensor to microcontroller interface by incorporating external MOSFET transistors. In such a way, the measured discharging time interval can be increased (through the discharging time constant) which results in increased resolution for a given time base. The experimental results show that the resolution of the measurements can be significantly imp...

A low-cost and reliable interface for capacitive sensors, based on the use of a relaxation oscillator and a microcontroller, is presented. The novel interface system is designed to measure small capacitances in a reliable and accurate way even when the sensor capacitors are shunted by parasitic conductances. The problem of shunting conductances is solved by performing a series of eight measurem...
