Compatible Transducers:

Through the various hardware options flowstone can connect to just about any form of transducer. Analogue transducer such as, microphones, geophones, vibration sensors and connect to A/D inputs. Digital transducers, switched, shaft encoders, level sensor, and connect to TTL digital inputs etc. Below is a snapshot of some of the more common transducer but there are many more:

Accelerometer

Measures ±3 gravities (± 29.4m/s2) change per axis

Current Sensor

Measures alternating current up to 50Amps and direct current from -50Amps to +50Amps.

Current Sensor

The i-Snail-VC is a self powered AC current transducer that provides a 0-5V dc analog signal proportional to the AC current flowing through the device wire window (sine wave RMS calibrated).

Distance Adapter Board

The IR Distance Adapter is designed to interface the following Sharp sensors

Sharp Distance Sensor

Measures distances from 4 cm to 30 cm

Force Sensor

Intended as a user input device (i.e. recognizing that someone is pushing a button)

IR Reflective Sensor

Can detect the presence of an object at a distance of 0 to 10cm.

Mini Joystick

Two-axis joystick with a momentary switch.

Magnetic Sensor

Uses the Linear Hall Effect. Provides a voltage output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The sensor is Ratiometric.

Motion Sensor

Detects changes in infrared radiation which occur when there is movement by a person (or object) which is different in temperature from the surroundings.
