The greater the accuracy at which the desired position can be read, the greater the success of the job. In this project we see an alternative proposal: a display in which we see the drilling depth thanks to a gyroscopic sensor and an 8-digit […]

As fruits and vegetables ripen, they change color due to the four families of pigments: chlorophyll (green), carotenoids (yellow, red, orange), flavonoids (red, blue, purple), betalain (red, yellow, purple). These pigments are groups […]
