What Is a Sensor? π€βοΈ A translator of Reality πβ¨
A sensor is a device that receives a stimulus (e.g., lightπ‘ or heatπ₯) and responds with an electrical signal. The world wouldnβt be as connected without them! #sensors #OSH #pocae
Forth revolutionized programming with postfix notation (no parentheses!) and complete extensibility. Itβs not just a language; itβs a toolkit for building custom solutions.
