Analog sensors produce a continuous output signal that is proportional to the measured quantity.


Key characteristics:
- Output is a continuous range of values
- Can detect small changes in the input
- Often require analog-to-digital conversion for use with digital systems
- Examples: thermistors, photoresistors, potentiometers

suggestion (documentation): Consider adding information about resolution differences between analog and digital sensors.

This could help users understand another key distinction between these sensor types.

Analog sensors produce a continuous output signal that is proportional to the measured quantity.
Key characteristics:
- Output is a continuous range of values
- Higher resolution compared to digital sensors
- Can detect small changes in the input
- Often require analog-to-digital conversion for use with digital systems
- Typically provide more precise measurements than digital sensors
- Examples: thermistors, photoresistors, potentiometers



Procedure :
1. Connect the digital sensor to the appropriate pins on the PSLab (likely power, ground, and a digital data pin).
