Understanding Sensors How to connect them?
Although there are many ways to work with the sensors, the easiest way is to use the analog SVG system. SVG is the short form of Signal, Voltage, and Ground. Usually one has to apply 3.3v or 5v to the voltage pin and the ground pin and a corresponding voltage (from 0 volt to “V” volt) can be detected from the “S” signal pin depends on the environmental value like brightness, temperature or humidity etc. For the Microbit system, voltage up to 3.3v can be accepted. Other systems like Arduino or Raspberry Pi would have different acceptable voltage. The process to map the sensor reading to actual standard value is called calibration. We are going to discuss how to calibrate different sensors in the next article.
The Muselab sensor system uses symbols to illustrate SVG pin for the purpose of easy understanding.


The standardized MuseLab Pin Layout makes it easy to use our sensors. It is plug and play!
