*** Additional info at http://droidalyzer.com/talkingbreathalyzer/index.html *** A customizable Breathalyzer that talks and tells you how much you’ve had to drink. It’s also open source and can easily be modified with your own text on the LCD screen and audio MP3 files. When tethered to a PC with a USB cable, it has additional features including character animations, […]

I wanted to make a photbooth for a Christmas party. I wanted it to be simple to operate and only be one click easy so that even a guest who was chemically uncoordinated could even operate it.I wanted a solution that would take a photo and post it on facebook. Guests could later tag themselves […]

LED Engin has announced a quad die infra-red LED emitting 4.5W of flux, from 850nm and 940nm variants. “The four die parts are the world’s most powerful IR emitters,” said the firm, which has also released some deep red emitters. Called LZ4, the IR LEDs have a 7x7mm footprint and the firm’s dual-junction emitters. Heat […]

SAN FRANCISCO and MINNEAPOLIS, January 26, 2015 — Punch Through Design, a hardware and software development firm that brings Bluetooth Low Energy hacking to the masses, has released the Windows Bean Loader, the first-ever wireless Arduino programming app for Windows users. Using the loader app, Windows-based developers and hobbyists can easily upload code to their […]

I have always loved the Marvel character Archangel. When my brother, (Shameless plug alert) budding comic book artist David Fernandez, showed me pics of a cosplay convention he went to I thought “wouldn’t it be awesome if someone made life-size archangel wings?”. The idea sank into the depths of my mind and had a death grip on […]

Let’s add a DS1307 real-time clock to our Freetronics Arduino-compatible board. Updated 18/03/2013 Now and again I find myself making another kind of clock or timing device using the Arduino system, and each one has been making use of the Maxim DS1307 real-time clock IC. However every time another clock is being worked on, my DS1307 real-time […]

NAND process geometries have become as problematic as logic process geometries with the advantages of further scaling – especially as 3D NAND approaches – being questioned. NAND process geometry is currently at 20nm and should be 10-20nm in 2017, says IC Insights adding “reported minimum feature sizes and mass production definitions are very imprecise and […]

Compact installation step relays Finder 26 series save energy similarly like latching relays, but they also operate on AC voltage. Step relays are able to effectively control lighting or other devices and they significantly simplify circuit complexity at the same time. If you´re familiar with a bistable (latching) relay, then you know, that a relay […]

The world is going nuts over the Raspberry Pi single-board computer (SBC) for being a whole system under $50. In reality though the Pi isn’t actually the cheapest computing device available. If you want really cheap how does $13.50 sound for a mini computer that can plug into your PC’s USB port be programmed in […]

STMicroelectronics have announced the LSM6DB0, the latest addition to its iNEMO family.  It packs a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyro and low energy ARM-based Cortex processor in a tiny 3 x 3 mm package.   This chip is designed to interface with baseband chipsets that don’t have a sensor co-processor. Additional external sensors can also be hooked […]
