Getting Started with Inductive Position Sensors | Improve Accuracy of Sensors w/ Microcontrollers
This video demonstrates how to use a host microcontroller to improve the accuracy of inductive position sensors. The video uses the IPCE along with the LX3302AQPW-EASY IC and downloadable sensors to reach a desired accuracy level. While advanced linearization through EEPROM programming is available inside the LX3302A, the video shows an example of simply using a PIC18F microcontroller to do the linearization all without having to internally linearize or program the EEPROM of the LX3302A. This is perfect for the LX3302AQPW-EASY based downloadable sensors, but can also be applied to any inductive position sensor to increase accuracy.
In this video we use the LX3302A web design that use the LX3302AQPW-EASY. Below are links to the IPCE software, LX3302a Web-design sensors , LX3302A and LX3301A product pages.
