Gone are the days of carburetors and distributors, replaced by a variety of sensors that help a car’s computer get the maximum performance out of the engine.Read More →

A piezoelectric sensor, also known as a piezoelectric transducer, is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure changes in pressure, acceleration, temperature, strain or force by converting these into an electrical charge. The prefix piezo is Greek for press or squeeze. What are the different types of piezoelectricRead More →

Signs of a Broken MAP Sensor Poor Fuel Economy. If the ECM is reading low or no vacuum, it assumes the engine is at high load, so it dumps in more fuel and advances spark timing. … Lack of Power. … Failed Emissions Inspection. … Rough Idle. … Hard Starting.Read More →

A crop sensor is smaller than the standard 35mm size, which introduces a crop factor to the photos these cameras take. This means that the edges of your photo will be cropped for a tighter field of view. Why is a crop sensor bad? Poor Low Light Performance Due toRead More →

They convert light energy to an electrical signal output. Light sensors have several uses in industrial and everyday consumer applications. For example, they can detect the amount of light in a room and raise / lower the blinds or switch on / off the lights automatically to improve the comfortRead More →

More videos on YouTube The focal length and aperture remain the same regardless if a lens is attached to a Full Frame camera or an APS-C one. An APS-C camera provides the field of view that is typically 1.5x the focal length of the lens attached – or a “crop”Read More →
