Developers, hobbyists and Internet of Things enthusiasts may be interested in a new IoT Cloud Scheduler that has been added to the Arduino Cloud platform, offering an easy way to add new automation controls to your projects. The Cloud Scheduler takes the form of a new type of variable that consists of a couple of […]

Multiplexing is a very old technology in which control signals are intermixed for the sake of being able to control more devices than there are control signals. For [mihai.cuciuc], the problems started when he multiplexed some very efficient LEDs. The problem? In two banks of six LEDs each, both LEDs connected to a single Arduino pin would light,
Many infamous Kickstarter projects have ultimately flopped or failed, leaving backers frustrated and angry. Often pitched with a splashy convincing video that happens to have critical components conveniently offscreen. [Allen Pan] was reminiscing about one such project, the air umbrella, and decide to redeem the project by making his own. The basic idea of the air
Voyant Photonics has created a lidar system that could be fitted on the head of a pin. This development is noteworthy because LIDAR is a method by which robots and autonomous vehicles sense the world around them, but the lasers and sensors are usually large and use up a considerable amount of space. LIDAR solutions available today
$4.3M RAISED BY VOYANT PHOTONICS FOR LIDAR TO BE FITTED ON THE HEAD OF A PIN Continue Reading
What’s round, has what looks like a vacuum tube in the center, and was made in the 1950s by HP? We don’t know either, but [The Signal Path] restored one and shows us this mystery instrument in a recent video that you can see below. We aren’t going to spoil the surprise over what the device is,
Operating input range from 4.2V to 60V. 2mm x 3mm HotRod™ QFN package. Junction temperature range from -40°C to 150°C. 26µA quiescent current. The list of amazing features is long. And that’s before you see the eye-popping efficiency plots. LMR36006/15 are the industrial buck converters you’ve been looking for. Texas Instruments LMR360xx/LMR360xx-Q1 Step-Down Converters are an easy-to-use, synchronous,

In the last tutorial, we examined How to connect your IoT devices to the Arduino IoT Cloud, and we saw how to send and receive data, from and to the cloud. With multiple cloud solutions available for IoT devices, there might be a need for you to work with one not as traditional as the Arduino

X-FAB Silicon Foundries, the leading analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, continues to develop ground-breaking semiconductor solutions to address the most difficult of design challenges. It has now announced the availability of avalanche photodiode (APD) and single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) products for implementation in scenarios where there are extremely low light conditions to contend with and augmented
For many years, cloud computing and cloud-based services have been one of the fastest-growing sectors of the IT and tech industry – but just what is the ‘cloud’ and how could it be used to transform your company’s processes? Cloud computing explained In essence, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services (storage, processing, apps)
How moving to the cloud could transform your business – and save money Continue Reading
It’s no surprise that many hardware hackers avoid working with AC, and frankly, we can’t blame them. The potential consequences of making a mistake when working with mains voltages are far greater than anything that can happen when you’re fiddling with a 3.3 V circuit. But if you do ever find yourself leaning towards the
