Accelerometers
Date: 19960918
From: Tehmosp Khan
To: Recipients of 6811 mailing list
Subject: Re: Accelerometers?
You're in luck! Motorola's XMMAS40G10x comes in a 16 pin dip package, is a
micromachined accelerometer reading +/-40G linear, with .1G resolution if I
remember right. Output is a voltage, the device requires +5V.
I have samples, but haven't worked with them yet.
kwd...
Any idea on price or where mere mortals can buy them? Last I checked,
DigiKey wasn't a Motorola distributor.
GB
Check out Analog Devices. ADXL50 is a 50g sensor and ADXL05 is a
5g sensor. Both these come with an evaluation kit.

CO2 detection with IR diodes
Date: 19960903
To: PIC's mailing list at parallaxinc.com
From: Ray Gardiner
Subject: Re: [PICS] IR Diodes for CO2 detection
Has anyone seen very long wavelength infra red diodes (2325 cm-1 or
3500cm-1) in their travels? I wish to use them to measure carbon dioxide in
a room. I will be using either a PIC or a STAMP.
There was an article in New Scientist last year hailing the breakthrough
in long wavelength IR diodes by some team at Cambridge UK. I wrote asking for
more info but only got a reply from some guys wanting to sell me IR sensors
for >$1000.
If they were 'real' they should be appearing in the next year or so. As a
commercial product. Meantime I think tungsten filament is the cheapest IR
source going at present. You can run low volts, and extend the lamp life.
Anyway if you find a supplier, I for one am **very** interested.

I use some carbon dioxide sensors for building ventilation
measurements. They have LCD readouts (0 - 2000 ppm) and
voltage outputs. They are from a company called Telaire in
Goleta CA and they cost about $300.
They use IR absorption, but as far as I can see without taking them apart the
light source has visible output that is filtered to get the IR band of
interest.

Subject: Re: [PICS] IR Diodes for CO2 detection
I have heard of this as well and suspect a commercial company has grabbed
this. Have tou worked with the tungsten filament for CO2 detection? If yes
what did you use for a detector? Have you ever considered the IR movement
detectors?
If I see anything I shall post it here.
