Hey for a project, i have to build a sensor of any sort, and then make loads of measurements to see how accurate it is ect, what do you think would be a good sensor to build. it needs to be complex but not extreme!! i am in 6th form takes A.s physics! any ideas would be greatfull.

thanks alex!

Here's a great resource:

http://www.discovercircuits.com

Click on "Schematics" (menu bar near the top) and you will see an alphebetized list of circuit diagrams. There are many entries under "S: Sensors".

Start by thumbing through those, and feel free to let us know which one you've chosen and if you need more help.

how would i go about making one of these circuits, im what you might say a newbee lol, please help!!!

thankyou

Well obviously you will need to get the circuit elements, the wires, a power supply, and a breadboard, right?

Then why did you put this in Advanced Physics?

I'm moving it to Introductory Physics...
