Selecting the Right Rigid-Flex PCB Manufacturer: Essential Criteria for Your Project
Posted on: 12 Jul 2024
Designing and conceptualizing an electrical project can be full of challenges, but what’s also quite challenging to handle is finding the right rigid flex PCB manufacturer that will handle your project to bring it to realization. That’s because only very professional rigid flex PCB manufacturers can produce high-quality rigid-flex circuit boards. Some manufacturers may promise […]
Exploring the Fusion of Physical Computing and Creative Expression
Posted on: 01 Jul 2024
What is physical computing? Physical computing involves constructing physical interfaces that interact with the analog world. This entails assembling circuits using microcontrollers, wires, sensors, LEDs, motors, and similar components, which are then controlled by customized software. For example, one might program the software to activate an LED when a photocell sensor detects a light level […]
Random Sensor Project KY-027 Magic Light Cup Module
Posted on: 29 Jun 2024
Sensor Description The KY-027 Magic Light Cup module consists of two boards, each equipped with an LED and a mercury tilt switch. By utilizing PWM to control the LEDs on both modules, you can simulate the visual effect of light “magically” transferring between them when they are tilted, reminiscent of pouring water between cups, which inspired […]
Surveying Altimeter for Water System Design
Posted on: 27 Jun 2024
Project Background Designing a water system necessitates estimating water pressure throughout, often referred to as “head,” which denotes the vertical column of water height producing that pressure. Pump specifications typically detail the head, indicating a pump with 150 feet of head can lift water vertically up to 150 feet. Understanding the system head allows designers […]
