Title: Obscure sensors for project
Post by: Barnaby on January 10, 2008, 11:16:42 AM

Hi there,
I'm doing a powerpoint at school and we have to put in sensor types.  I filled in all the obvious ones, LDRs, Tactile switches etc, does anyone know of any really obscure sensors I could put in?

Thanks,
Barnaby
