nRF24L01+ module channel sensitivity and directivity

I want to start a project where I distribute many nRF24L01+ modules across the house. I am pretty sure someone has done that before. But before I wanted to begin I evaluated the modules using two ...

Voltage sensitivity coefficients for unbalanced radial distribution feeders

I am wondering if my implementation of voltage sensitivity coefficients for unbalanced three-phase-four-wire radial distribution feeders is correct. We got \$\bar{V}\$ for phase(s) of all the buses ...

Estimating the adequate ADC resolution given a sensor resolution

A force traducer has a resolution of 0.0625N. And the analog output sensitivity is 32N/V. So I calculate the voltage output resolution as 0.0625/32 which is around 2mV. If this signal now is sampled ...
