Sense
Presence
Sensor
Sensation
Having, containing or indicative of good sense or reason.
Sensory
Sensible
Presence
Sensation
Used to detect acceleration, tilt, and vibration to determine movement and orientation; this sensor is responsible for axis-based motion sensing, it is also present in fitness trackers
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
Light sensor
Proximity sensor
Used to identify up/down, left/right and rotation around three axes for more complex orientation details
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
Light sensor
Proximity sensor
Used to detect when the phone is held to the face to make or take a call, so the touchscreen display can be disabled to avoid unintended input
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
Light sensor
Proximity sensor
Used to detect data about lighting levels in the environment to adapt the display accordingly (if your phone is set to auto-adust)

When ... receives a digital input, it compares measured values with stored values/pre-set values.
Sensor
Actuator
Microprocessor
Storage device
ADC converts analogue signals (data) into digital.
What happens, if a sensor output is directly fed to a microprocessor?
Microprocessor compares the data with preset values and initiates instructions accordingly
Microprocessor compares the data but can't initiate instructions because the data is not digital
Microprocessor cannot operate with analogue signals
Microprocessor compares the analogue signals with digital and initiates instructions accordingly
1- The analogue output is converted to digital input via ADC
2- Microprocessor compares the input with preset values
3- If the measured temperature is above set value, the cooler is turned on
4- The output voltage is acquired from a thermistor
What is the correct order of the given process?
4 - 1 - 2 - 3
3 - 1 - 2 - 4
4 - 2 - 1 - 3
4 - 3 - 2 - 1
