Sample

Initial report by [[~login | Your Name]], day, month, year

Put a paragraph or two here introducing the the sensor. You might want to add an introductory image as well.

Sources

Outline here where you got your sensor, how much it cost and what your experience of getting it was like.

Applications

Describe some typical applications of this sensor. You can often get this from the datasheet, but a few examples from companies or individuals who've used it would be useful as well.

Electrical Characteristics

Put a link to the datasheet at the top. Also link any retail sources, for example if you're using a breakout board, or any other parts that making the sensor easier.

Give the voltage and amperage ranges, and any other relevant electrical data.

Describe the electrical changes when the sensor senses whatever physical changes it senses.

Pin Descriptions

Give a list of the pins, and a pin diagram as appropriate. Detail the function of each pin in a short paragraph following the list.

Microcontroller Connections

Explain how to connect the sensor to a microcontroller or computer. Include a schematic and any other necessary diagrams. Make sure to include a list of every part in the schematic.

Code Sample

Give a code sample for the microcontroller you developed the example on. Link it to the Code group of the wiki, formatting the link like this:

[[Code.myCodeSample | Code Sample]]

Typical Behavior

Describe the behavior of the sensor when you use it to sense something. Note any peculiarities that you had to work around, or things that might affect someone else's use. Graphs and images are useful here.

Application Notes

Describe your own application of the sensor. Link to any external documentation of your project, and discuss how you got the sensor to do what you needed it to.
