Transducers

Here an overview about the sensors and actuators that have been successfully connected to KiRAT are listed. Of course, the usage of sensors and actuators depends also on the utilized amplifiers and AD/DA conversion devices. However, we simply list them here. In the corresponding pages that contain further details examples and hints about suggested amplifcation and conversion devices are given.
