Vibration, Hall Effect, & Light Intensity

This is lab 15 of 17 in the course

by Enable Education

In this lab, students will implement vibration, distance, and light intensity measurements using three different sensors. Additionally, they will implement their own measurement system to solve a measurement problem using the sensors and tools they’ve learned about.
