Posted on: 16 Aug 2016
UPDATES October 30, 2013 – 7PM (GMT+2) The new official name for this app is ArduDroid and it can be installed from Google Play. I changed the name to avoid a naming conflict with another app. September 15, 2013: I Have won a Nexus 7 tablet for this project part of a competition held […]
Product How-to: Ultra-low noise linear regulators for powering PLL/VCO and clocking ICs
Posted on: 15 Aug 2016
Wideband communication systems usually require an ultra-low noise regulator to power the VCOs and PLLs. The regulator must also be able to reject any ripple presented at its input. In a typical system, an ac input is converted to an isolated dc supply rail, –48-V, for example. This rail is then converted to an isolated […]
Build An Audible Memory Chest [Instructables How-To]
Posted on: 15 Aug 2016
If you’re a fan of the Harry Potter series then we also bet you were pretty taken with Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore’s pensive—the magical object that could not only store memories, but actually let people fall into and re-experience the events. This week’s Instructables How-To from aspiring Tel Aviv-based hacker and inventor, Zvizvi, shows you how […]
Thermocouple Auto-Zeroed Reference Design
Posted on: 14 Aug 2016
Summary The MCP6V01 auto-zeroed op-amp features an ultra low offset voltage (VOS) and high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), which makes it applicable to temperature measurement. The MCP6V01 thermocouple auto-zeroed reference design demonstrates how to measure electromotive force (EMF) voltage at the cold junction of the thermocouple in order to accurately measure temperature at the […]

Uncompromising quality audio connectors for a compromising price
Posted on: 12 Aug 2016
Connectors have in general one interesting feature – there are many similar or almost the same connectors on the market. Audio connectors are not exception in this. Even though they look the same, many times there are huge differences in price and mainly in quality. If we supposed, that every producer designs and makes his […]
Modern EC fans are able to save up to 50% of energy
Posted on: 12 Aug 2016
A term „EC fan“ (electronic commutation) is generally used to mark energy-saving AC fans. In fact, these are DC (brushless) fans with AC/DC module and other electronics. EC fans reach up to 90% efficiency and they consume 50% less energy than traditional AC fans. At the same time, a typical „50Hz“ motor noise is eliminated […]
Arduino project: USB foot-operated mouse switch
Posted on: 12 Aug 2016
This foot pedal plugs into the Arduino case which plugs into your PC via microUSB cable. Arduino microcontrollers can easily be used to power fun projects like robots and even sending tweets to Twitter but they’re versatile enough to turn up in the strangest of places – like under your feet. We had a question […]
1st successful test of the transistor, December 16, 1947
Posted on: 11 Aug 2016
What began as research to improve telephone service became one of the most important inventions in electronics history. In 1945, AT&T’s research division, Bell Labs, began working on technology to replace vacuum tubes and make long-distance telephone service more reliable. William Shockley organized a solid-state physics group to research semiconductor replacements for vacuum tubes and […]
