Sensors, Input Devices and Microcontrollers | Zero to Maker Workshop

🔗 *The full Workshop* : _https://core-electronics.com.au/courses/zero-to-maker-workshop/_

In this video, we will be looking at input devices (or sensors) and how we can incorporate them into our microcontroller-based projects. We will be taking a look at the role of input devices, how they work in general terms, and we will be looking at some guidelines on choosing a sensor for your project, as well as wiring some up.
