Web Server with Two Temperature Gauges
Posted on: 05 Jul 2016
This project consists of two temperatures that are measured by the Arduino using two MCP9700 temperature sensors An Arduino Uno and Ethernet shield are set up as a web server that hosts a web page to display the two temperatures on two gauges. The web page is stored on a SD card that is plugged […]
New electrolyte to enable cheaper, less toxic magnesium-sulfur-based batteries
Posted on: 04 Jul 2016
There’s another promising contender in the race to supplant the dominance of lithium-ion and metal-hydride based batteries in the world of energy storage. New research from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology’s (KIT’s) Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU) details the development of an electrolyte that can be used in new magnesium-sulfur battery cells that would be more […]
How to Text Yourself when your DSC PC1550 Home Security System Alarms
Posted on: 04 Jul 2016
I have a home security system that was installed when my home was built in the early 1990’s. It is, or was until I modified it, a wired perimeter system with a single wired motion detector. The system is a DSC PC1550 and originally was monitored by a well known alarm system service, a three […]
A lightning flash counter
Posted on: 03 Jul 2016
Many years ago, I think it was in 1997, I stepped into an interesting circuit on a book about high voltage [1]. It was the diagram of a simple “lightning flash counter” intended to help in designing lightning protections on power lines. The description was very brief, but following the bibliography reference, I could find […]

Using an Arduino as a garage car parking sensor
Posted on: 02 Jul 2016
“M-my lord, it-it’s impossible to locate the ship. It’s out of our range.” – Nute Gunray We recently moved into a new house and as always the first problem to address was finding the optimal place to park cars in the garage. Ideally, we wanted to park the cars as close to the garage door […]
Teardown and Repair of an Agilent 33250A Function and Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Posted on: 01 Jul 2016
In this episode Shahriar repairs an Agilent 33250A function and arbitrary waveform generator which does not power on. The unit is equipped with a soft power switch which might be responsible for the fault. After a brief look at the unit’s constructions, the fault is traced to a few possible locations. The schematic of the […]
Gesture control car(robot) with Arduino and Android(bluetooth)
Posted on: 01 Jul 2016
Hi folks, Here’s an interesting project for all you creative minds out there. We are going to build an android phone controlled RC car. Nothing could be more fascinating than remote controlled cars. This one uses Bluetooth for communication and accelerometer of the mobile device for gesture control. The reason behind the use of a […]
