Microkite is a DTX module built to utilise the great potential of the new PIC32MX1xx/2xx microcontrollers. It integrates a power supply able to provide power to the external user circuit as well, a microSD connector for data storage and a USB-UART bridge for easy communication with a PC terminal. The module is intended for inclusion […]

Bingo! My granddaughter enjoys playing Bingo, so I went out and bought her a cheap set at a local discount store. The cards and the markers are fine, but the spinner disk for selecting the numbers is a piece of garbage. It flew apart about ten minutes into the first game. True, I could have […]

The first approximation is based on a modification of an expression developed by Wheeler; the second is derived from electromagnetic principles by approximating the sides of the spirals as current-sheets; and the third is a monomial expression derived from fitting to a large database of inductors (and the exact inductance values). All three expressions are […]

If you´re deciding whether it´s worth to use a backup battery, we bring you a few remarks why to go for it or not. Lithium battery Xeno Energy with a lifetime of over 10 years and rules for their usage were brought to you in our article „10 years of operation for 1 battery?”. They´re […]

This project describes the design of a very low budget 3D Printer that is mainly built out of recycled electronic components. The result is a small format printer for less than 100$. First of all, we learn how a generic CNC system works (by assembling and calibrating bearings, guides and threads) and then teach the […]

This instructable will show you who to build a rgb lighting system with an Arduino. You can also control it with an iPod/iPhone/iPad using touchOSC. In my previous instructable I showed how to control one rgb led in this you can control heaps with a single chip the ULN2003A. Step 1: Parts You will need […]

Goals Understand the Analog Signals and use your knowledge to program your Arduino and let it play music Get known of the Seven-segment display and use your Arduino Board together with the Shift Register to control the number. In the Second Week you will be asked to implement a circuit to combine these first two […]

***Disclaimer***This instructable is documentation for a work in progress. Although the project is not yet complete, it has reached a place where I believe it can begin to be beneficial to other makers. The concept for this project was spawned when a friend suggested I be Slenderman for Halloween. When I first looked at pictures, […]

Well, the “Test PCB” project is finally underway. In case you don’t remember my original blog, the idea is to send a PCB design out to a half-dozen or so low-cost PCB prototype shops, then review their service and quality. I’ve created a 6 × 6cm double-sided design for this project. I would have made […]

Ever wanted a robotic liquor server? I purchased a Lynxmotion robotic arm last year and an Arduino (deci) to play around with. I had it serial controlled with a joystick and it was a great way to start in robotics. More recently I wanted to take on another micro-controller related project for a university science […]
